What the Canada eTA is

The Canada eTA is an electronic travel authorization for eligible visa-exempt foreign nationals flying to Canada or transiting through a Canadian airport. It is electronically linked to your passport, so there is usually nothing to print.

An approved eTA may remain valid for up to five years or until the passport used to apply expires, whichever comes first. A new passport generally means a new eTA.

US citizens do not need a Canada eTA, and it is generally not required when entering by land or sea. A border services officer still makes the final decision on admission.
