The short answer: a week before you fly, confirm three things: your eTA is approved, the passport number in the approval email matches the passport you will carry, and that passport is valid for the whole trip. On the day, the airline checks your eTA by scanning that same passport, so there is nothing to print. If you have no eTA yet, apply today; you can apply for a Canada eTA through a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada. ...

The short answer: you apply for a Canada eTA through an online form, not an app, and the form asks only for your passport, a payment card and an email address, so a phone or a computer will do. What matters is finishing in one go: the form can’t be saved, the payment screen gives you 20 minutes, and the receipt can’t be printed later. If you’d rather have the form checked against your passport as you fill it in, you can apply for a Canada eTA through a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada. ...

The short answer: if the email address on your Canada eTA application was wrong, the decision and your application number were sent to that address, and without the number you cannot look the application up yourself. The usual way out of a mistyped address is a fresh application with the correct one, so if your trip is close it may be quicker to apply for a Canada eTA again today, through a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada, and this time watch the right inbox. ...

The short answer: applying twice is rarely a problem, but it usually costs you a second fee. What matters is the approved eTA whose approval email shows the exact number of the passport you will fly with, so find each application number and check which one was approved. If you still need to apply, or want help sorting out the right application, you can apply for a Canada eTA through a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada. ...

The short answer: Canada decides between an eTA and a visitor visa by the passport you travel on, not by the country where you hold permanent residence. If your passport is from a visa-exempt country you apply for a Canada eTA before you fly, and if it is from a visa-required country you need a visitor visa even with UK, EU or UAE residence, apart from a short list of countries whose citizens can qualify for an eTA under conditions. The one residence status that changes the rule is a U.S. green card. get-eta.com is a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada. ...

The short answer: if your passport needs an eTA, you need one even to change planes in Canada, however short or long the layover, and the 48-hour figure you may have read applies to transit visas, not to eTAs. On a same-day international connection with your bags checked through, if you qualify at Vancouver, Montréal or Toronto Terminal 1, you go straight to the departures area without seeing a border officer. An overnight connection, bags you have to collect, or a walk into the city means clearing the border like any other visitor, and if you don’t have the document yet, apply for a Canada eTA before you book the connection. get-eta.com is a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada. ...

The short answer: a Canada eTA is linked to a passport, not to your surname, so a name change on its own does nothing to it. While you still travel on the passport in your old name, the eTA issued for that passport keeps working, and any new application carries the name printed in the passport you will fly with. Once a new passport in your married (or earlier) name is issued, it needs its own eTA, and you can apply for a Canada eTA as soon as the new passport is in your hands. get-eta.com is a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada. ...

The short answer: yes. For a visa-exempt traveller arriving by air, a trip to see a doctor, have surgery or accompany a patient takes the same eTA as any other visit. Canada’s visitor rules don’t list a separate medical visa or medical eTA. What changes is everything around it: the eTA form asks about tuberculosis and certain health conditions, a stay longer than six months can trigger a medical exam, Canada doesn’t pay visitors’ medical bills, and if treatment will take longer than six months you need to say so at the border or extend your stay. Each person travelling, patient and companion alike, needs their own eTA, and the next step is to apply for a Canada eTA, which can be done before the appointment is booked. get-eta.com is a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada. ...

The short answer: yes, you can fly to Canada on a passport that expires soon, as long as it has not expired by the day you travel, but your eTA stops working the day that passport expires, and without a date stamped by the border officer your stay also ends on that day even if six months haven’t passed. If you renew the passport before the trip, the old eTA does not move to the new one, so you apply for a new eTA with the new passport details before you book or board. get-eta.com is a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada. ...

The short answer: an airline can only see an eTA that is linked to the exact passport you hand over, so “eTA not found” almost always means a passport mismatch (a typo, a renewed passport, the wrong one of two passports) or an application that has no decision yet. Check the passport number in your approval email against your passport, then check your eTA status with your application number and passport details; if the eTA really is tied to a different passport, you have to apply again, and if the new decision doesn’t come in time, the flight has to be rebooked. get-eta.com is a paid private service, separate from the Government of Canada. ...
