How to check if you need a visa
#Start with the official IRCC guidance on visitor visas and eTAs. The requirements depend on your passport and whether you travel by air.
IRCC’s visitor visa guidance explains eligibility and entry rules for visa-required nationals.
Electronic travel authorization (eTA)
#Visa-exempt travelers who fly to Canada typically need an eTA. It is linked to your passport and is required before boarding.
Use the official eTA application to confirm eligibility and submit your request.
