What documents and steps are needed for Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)?

Prepare the passport used for travel, exact biographical data, a working email address, the official receipt and every IRCC eTA message. Confirm each current form and personalized checklist control on www.canada.ca.

Practical order

1. 1

   Use the current IRCC entry-document questions to confirm that the passport and planned air travel call for an eTA rather than a visitor visa or another document.

2. 2

   Have the exact passport biographical details, a working email address and a permitted payment method ready before opening the official eTA form.

3. 3

   Open the eTA application on Canada.ca, answer the questions factually and submit only through the government form.

4. 4

   Monitor the application email address, retain the acknowledgement or request and respond through the channel named by IRCC if more information is requested.

5. 5

   Before booking deadlines or travel, confirm that the approved eTA is linked to the same valid passport and recheck the current airline and entry-document instructions.
