Are you interested in traveling to Canada from a visa-exempt country? Not so fast! You may need an eTA that stands for Electronic Travel Authorization when traveling by air which is electronically attached to their passport.

This authorization is valid for up to five years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first for those visiting Canada. A new passport means you need a new eTA. If you’re visa-required and eligible for an eTA, but already have a valid Canadian visa you don’t need to apply for an eTA.

If you are interested in traveling to Canada, book a consultation with VisaPlace today!

How to Apply

Applying for an eTA is a simple online process that takes just a few minutes to complete. Most applicants get their eTA approval within minutes or in some cases, several days if supporting documents are needed.

Cost: $7 CAD

“I truly want to thank Mansi. Her patience and thoughtful advices made a big difference for me. Her recommendations were not only helpful but also gave me clearer insight. Words can’t fully express how grateful I am for her support.”

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.

Anis did a great job of listening to my situation and getting an attorney to talk to me right away, so I can cross the boarder without worrying about what they might ask me. He was kind and understanding and I look forward to working with him and his company in the future.
