Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

Citizens of visa-exempt (eTA-required) countries and territories need an eTA and a valid passport to board a flight to Canada. No eTA is needed when arriving by car, bus, train or boat, including cruise ships, but an eTA is needed to board a boat from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon (excluding cruise ships).

No start date has been confirmed. Applies to you if you do not need a visa.
