Canadian Electronic Travel authorization – mandatory from 30 September

Customers without an ETA will NOT be able to travel to Canada

Earlier this year, the Canadian government introduced an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA), for customers flying or transiting any Canadian point. All arriving customers travelling on a visa-exempt passport, which includes most UK and and other European Union nationals, will need to obtain an eTA online through the Canadian government in advance, at www.Canada.ca/eTA

Since its introduction, there has been a leniency period that has allowed passengers to board their flight without an eTA.

Please note, this leniency period has now ended and eTA’s are mandatory therefore any customer without an eTA will not be able to travel to Canada.

Exemptions: includes U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid Canadian visa, Canadian citizens, including dual citizens and Canadian permanent residents.
