Before you go
- An eTA is a quick online authorisation linked to your passport. It is not a full visa, but you must have it before you fly.
- Apply on the official government site only. Look-alike sites charge extra and some are scams.
- Approval is often fast but can take longer, so do not leave it to the last minute.
- Keep your approval number or a copy. Airlines check it at check-in.
