Canada has introduced a new entry requirement, known as an eTA, for visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to Canada by air. Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid visa. Entry requirements for other methods of travel (land, sea) have not changed.
As of March 15, 2016, it is mandatory for all travelers to apply for an eTA before they can board a flight to Canada.
Visitors to Canada require a valid passport and may require a visitor’s visa. For information on visa requirements and exemptions please check with the nearest Canadian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate.
Attendees from the USA may check entry/exit requirements to Canada outlined in the U.S. Department of State Consular Information website. Proof of citizenship must be provided.
