Without valid travel authorization, entry into Canada will be denied. All eligible foreign nationals from the countries listed below may apply for the Canadian online visa, also known as the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), an electronically issued authorization. Passengers may be denied boarding if they attempt to travel without a valid eTA.
