The eTA is a digital travel document that most visa-exempt passengers require in order to fly to or via Canada.

Canadian officials utilise the eTA programme to conduct light-touch pre-travel screening of air travellers. It costs CAN$7 to apply, and most applications are accepted immediately within minutes.

Travelers simply need a valid passport, a credit card, an email account, and Internet connection to apply for an eTA.

Since the eTA program's inception on August 1, 2015, almost 20.9 million eTAs have been issued.

In April 2017, IRCC expanded its eTA programme to cover qualified Brazilians, Bulgarians, and Romanians. Later that year, Canada removed the visa requirement for all Bulgarian and Romanian nationals. Today, qualified Brazilian nationals can fly to Canada without a visa.

Canada anticipates 200,000 (or 20%) additional tourists from these 13 nations in the coming year. Increased travel from these nations is estimated to generate over $160 million in new tourist earnings within a decade.
