At the border

These apply when you cross the border. They are separate from your visa application.

Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

Citizens of eTA-required countries and territories need an eTA to board a flight to Canada. No eTA is needed when arriving by land or sea (except by boat from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, excluding cruise ships). Citizens of some visa-required countries may be eligible for an eTA instead of a visa when travelling by air.

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