5 Guides To Get Online Canada Visa For Road Trip

When we plan road trips we usually start off by booking a car or checking out all the cities we would like to see. Before getting all hooked up on your road trip around Canada, I suggest you obtain your travel document first and get that out of the way. We have simplified the process in 5 simple steps:

1. What is a Canada ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization)?

An ETA is a new entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals who will arrive in Canada by air. From March 15, 2016, visa-exempt country nationals who fly/transit Canada will need the ETA. Exceptions include US citizens and travelers with a valid visa issued by the Canadian Embassy.

All non-citizens require a Visa or Electronic Travel Authorization to enter Canada. Exceptions include U.S. citizens/nationals and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon residents.

All visa-exempt foreign nationals are expected to have an ETA to fly to or transit through Canada.

2. What do I need to apply for a Canada ETA?

No documents are required to submit an ETA application. You will only need to have a valid passport along with an email address and a credit/debit card or PayPal account for the payment.

3. How can I apply for a Canada ETA?

The application for Canada ETA is really easy. It has only three steps:

The first step will ask you to fill in your general information. You also need to choose the processing time from the options mentioned above.
