Canada’s Entry Requirements
On March 15, 2016, Canada introduced a new entry requirement, known as an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) , for visa-exempt foreign nationals traveling to or through Canada by air. Travelers will need an eTA before they can board their flight to Canada.
Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travelers with a valid visa.
Determine if a customer needs an eTA and apply through an online process. A passport, a credit card, and email address are required to apply.
Quick eTA facts:

- Allows for multiple entries to Canada
