What documents do I need?

By default a clear copy of your passport bio page and a recent passport-size photo, plus an email for your approved eTA.

How long does the eTA take?

Many are approved within minutes, but some take a couple of days for extra checks — apply ahead of time.

How long is the eTA valid?

Up to five years, or until your passport expires, allowing multiple visits of up to six months each.

Do you need a Canada visa?

Planning a trip to Canada? Most travellers can now skip the embassy queue and apply for the Canada Canada eTA entirely online. VisitsVisa fills the government form for you, checks every document, and delivers your approved visa by email — usually within 2 days. Most international travellers need a Canada Canada eTA before they arrive, and the fastest way to get one is to apply for your Canada visa online rather than queuing at an embassy. Start with a quick eligibility check and we confirm the exact route and documents for your nationality and country of residence.

How do I apply for a Canada visa online?

Applying for a Canada Canada eTA with VisitsVisa takes minutes. Complete one simple online form, upload your passport and photo, and pay securely. Our visa experts review every detail against the latest Canada immigration rules before your application is submitted, which is the single biggest thing you can do to avoid a rejection. Once approved, your Canada ETA is emailed to you — there is nothing to collect and no embassy visit — and you can track your Canada visa application live from any device until it lands in your inbox.

How much does a Canada visa cost?

A Canada Canada eTA costs $59 through VisitsVisa. The $59 price is all-inclusive — the government fee and our service fee are already bundled in, so there are no hidden charges at checkout. Every traveller on the trip — including children and infants — needs their own Canada visa, and you can add multiple applicants to a single order and pay together in one checkout.

How long does Canada visa processing take?

Standard Canada visa processing usually takes 2 days. If you are travelling soon, choose Express at checkout and we prioritise your application, with delivery typically within 24 hours. We recommend applying a few days before departure so your Canada ETA is confirmed well ahead of your flight.

How long is a Canada visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Canada Canada eTA permits a stay of Up to 6 months per visit and is valid for 5 years or until passport expires (multiple entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Canada applications are refused.
