Canada Visa Information

Tourist Entry Options & Visa Pathways for Visiting Canada

Canada offers multiple entry pathways for tourists depending on their nationality, travel purpose, and trip duration. Most short-term visitors require either a Visitor Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before arrival. Your eligibility depends on your passport type, travel history, and mode of entry.

Canada’s eTA system allows quick approval for travelers from visa-exempt countries, while those requiring a visa must apply through the official portal, submit biometrics, and provide supporting documents such as financial proof and a travel plan.

Tourists can normally stay up to six months for leisure, sightseeing, or family visits. Extensions may be possible from within Canada. Always verify the latest entry rules before planning your trip, as requirements vary by nationality and policy updates.

An eTA is a simple online travel authorization for eligible visa-exempt travellers flying to or transiting through Canada. It is linked to your passport and you must use the same passport when boarding.

Most visitors are allowed to stay up to 6 months per visit. A border officer may stamp your passport with how long you can stay.

No — having an approved visa or eTA does not guarantee entry. At arrival, border officers check that you meet all entry requirements (valid passport, purpose of visit, enough funds, etc.).
