ETA Tourist Visa Category
The full name of ETA is Electronic Travel Authorization. It is a document that visa-exempt foreign nationals must obtain before entering Canada by air.
However, travelers entering Canada by sea or land are not required to hold an eTA.
Notes Before Application:
Hong Kong residents holding a Special Administrative Region (SAR) passport or a British National (Overseas) (BNO) passport are required to apply for an eTA.
After the eTA comes into effect on March 15th, students and temporary workers (from countries whose citizens are required to hold an eTA) must obtain an eTA. Even if they obtained a student visa or work visa before August 1st, 2015, they still need to get an eTA before planning to enter or leave Canada by air.
Canadian permanent residents do not need to hold an eTA when entering Canada by air, but they must still hold a Canadian Permanent Resident Card for entry. Otherwise, they may not be allowed to board the plane to Canada.
U.S. permanent residents are required to hold an eTA (as well as a U.S. Green Card) when entering Canada by air. However, they do not need an eTA if entering Canada by land or sea.
