Visa or eTA?
Visa-exempt travellers need an eTA to fly to or transit through a Canadian airport, but not when they arrive by car, bus, train or boat. Travellers from other countries need a visitor visa, also for entry by land or sea.
Since 26 May 2026, citizens of Indonesia and Malaysia who meet the conditions can apply for an eTA instead of a visa for air travel.
