The visa route
Visiting Canada: Visitor Visa (Temporary Resident Visa) or Electronic Travel AuthorizationMost foreign nationals need either a visitor visa or an eTA to visit Canada for tourism, family or business, depending on citizenship and how they travel. Visa-required nationals need a visa for any mode of travel; visa-exempt nationals need an eTA only when flying to or transiting through a Canadian airport. A border officer makes the final entry and length-of-stay decision.Requirements and documentsAnother passport?
