Electronic Travel Authorisation - Canada

UK passport holders travelling to Canada for leisure are eligible to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA).

The below information is based on UK passport holders only. It is the responsibility of each passenger in your party to apply. Failure to do so would lead to non-entry to Canada. Stewart Travel cannot be held liable in any way for non-compliance or refused entry to Canada.

The Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is an authorization that is electronically linked to a traveller’s passport to allow them to enter Canada. It is similar to systems in place for travel to the USA and Australia.

You can apply for an eTA at www.canada.ca/eta.
It costs CAD$7 for the application.

*Please only use the link we have on this page and in our documentation. As when you search for the page online you may come across unofficial websites who over charge.   

Most applications are approved within minutes, but it may take longer if you are required to submit documents, so we recommend applying as soon as you have booked your flights.

An eTA can be valid for up to five years or until your passport expires, whichever is sooner. If you get a new passport, you will need to get a new eTA. With a valid eTA you can travel to Canada as often as you want for short stays (normally for up to six months at a time) within the five year period.

There is no need to print off your eTA approval. You will receive an email letting you if you have been approved. This is now linked to your passport and when you go through the airport, it will show your eTA to staff. 

If you want to check your eTA Status, this can be done here: Check My eTA Status

It is the responsibility of each passenger in your party to apply for an eTA . Failure to do so would lead to non-entry to Canada. Stewart Travel cannot be held liable in any way for non-compliance or refused entry to Canada.
