SOURCE-BACKED ANSWER

How do I complete Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)?

Confirm that an eTA is the required travel authorization, complete the official form yourself and verify the approval against the passport used. Start with the reviewed official source, follow the current actions and submit through your own government account.

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.
