Verified practical details
The procedure to complete before you travel is eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization). Here's what we've verified about the process:
Authorisation system
eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization)
Mandatory for flying to Canada (or making an air transit) if a visa isn't required. Apply only at canada.ca: there are fraudulent third-party websites.
Apply on the official site →Visa, e-Visa, or electronic authorisation? What's the difference →
Fee
7 CAD
Valid for up to 5 years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first.
Processing time
Usually minutes (approval by email).
Required documents
- A valid passport
- A temporary resident visa or an eTA, depending on your nationality
- Proof of sufficient funds to cover the trip, if you are paying for it yourself. IRCC publishes no fixed figure: it assesses whether the money covers both the stay and the journey home
- A copy of your air ticket and travel itinerary, showing when you plan to return
Health insurance
Not mandatory for this destination.
When travel insurance is mandatory → Travel insurance policies ↓Transit rules
As a rule, passing through a Canadian airport in transit calls for the same document as entering: a temporary resident visa or an eTA, depending on your nationality. The exception is two specific programmes, Transit Without Visa (TWOV) and the China Transit Program (CTP), which let certain nationals transit through Canada to or from the United States without a Canadian transit visa, provided they meet each programme's requirements.

Travel insurance for Canada
It isn't listed as mandatory for this entry, but without insurance, medical care during the trip can get expensive.
