CANADIAN TEMPORARY RESIDENT VISAS AND eTA
Enjoy Your Visit to Canada
What You’ll Need
If you’re planning to visit Canada as a tourist, you will have to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV).
What's the difference?
An eTA is an entry requirement for foreign nationals who are visa-exempt and are travelling to Canada by air.
The eTA is valid for up to 5 years or until your passport expires. A TRV is required for foreign nationals who are from visa-required countries.

How to Apply for an eTA
Applying for an eTA is a simple online process. However, make sure you only apply on the official Government of Canada website. There are many fake websites that charge you additional service fees.
Apply for an eTA
By visiting the Government of Canada eTA web page.
What to Expect
Once the eTA is approved, it will be linked directly to the passport you used to apply.
