International Travel

To visit Canada, all travelers must meet some basic requirements:

  • Have a valid travel document, such as a passport.
  • Have no criminal or immigration-related convictions.
  • Explain to an immigration officer that you have ties, such as a job, home, financial assets or family, that will take you back to your home country.
  • Explain to an immigration officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit.
  • Have enough funds for your stay.
  • The amount of money you will need can vary. It depends on things such as how long you will stay and whether you will stay in a hotel or with friends or relatives.

Travel From US to Canada

U.S. Citizens traveling to Canada do not require a visa or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter. If you fly to or transit through a Canadian airport you will need to travel with a valid U.S. passport.

If you will be entering Canada from any other means of transportation, please visit the Canada Border Services Agency for additional travel information.

If you are a United States citizen, be sure to carry proof of citizenship, such as a passport, along with photo identification. If you are a permanent U.S. resident, carry proof of your status such as a U.S. Permanent Resident Card.

The first step to traveling to the Canada from abroad is to determine if you need a Visa or an (eTA).

DO I NEED A VISA OR eTA?

If you need an eTA, you should:

  • get it when you plan your trip – do not wait for the last minute to apply; and
  • travel to Canada with the passport you used to get your eTA.

If you need to apply for a business visa:

  • You can choose to apply online or through a paper application.
  • If you need assistance, you can get help with your application at your nearest Visa Application Centre (VAC).
