How Canada's Visitor Entry System Works
Canada has three tiers of entry authorization depending on your nationality:
No Visa or eTA
U.S. citizens can enter Canada with a valid passport. No visa or eTA is required.
eTA Required
Citizens of visa-exempt countries need an eTA ($7) when flying to Canada. Applied online, usually approved in minutes.
Visitor Visa (TRV)
Citizens of visa-required countries must apply for a Temporary Resident Visa. Requires documents, biometrics, and processing time.
