ETA TO CANADA

If you are applying for international travel visas you might be quite frustrated if you are not sure which form of travel authorization suits your case. If you’re interested in visiting Canada, you may have to submit one of two documents: an eTa or a visa.

A visa is a permission provided by a country that allows a visitor to enter, stay in, or leave that country. There are some countries that have good relationships with Canada, and the citizens of such countries do not need a visa to enter Canada.

But in any other case, if you want to travel to Canada, you need e- visa. This document is called an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTa)

What is eTA Canada?

The Government of Canada introduced the eTa in 2016, and this is an entry requirement to Canada. If a visitor enters Canada by Air without a visa, he must have the eTa. This document is connected electronically with the passport of the traveler. It is indeed very quick permission to enter Canada.

• eTa allows visitors to travel to Canada as often as they want.
• Travelers can stay in Canada for a short stay, and the limit of that stay is up to six months.
• eTa is expired five years after issued. But eTa will also be expired if your passport is expired as well.
• The visitors who have eTa can fly to Canada for tourism purposes.
• eTa Canada doesn’t allow you to stay permanently in Canada. You cannot apply for the citizenship of Canada if you have an electronic travel authorization visa to Canada.

Gibraltarians don’t need a Canadian visa as they can even fly to Canada with a valid Canadian eTa. They need to fill out the Electronic visa application before flying to Canada. They can visit for general tourism, transit, medical, or business purposes, and the stay in Canada is only for 90 days.

• Gibraltarians are recommended to fill and submit the eTa application forms three days before the departure date.
• Canadian eTa is only for the legal citizens of Gibraltar, not for the refugees, so the refugees will have to apply only for the Canadian visa.
• Canadian Government is providing quick service for the Gibraltarians, and the eTa Canada for these people takes only five minutes.
• If your application for eTa is not accepted, you are still eligible for applying for the full visitor visa.
