What is the difference between ESTA and eTA Canada?


What is the difference between ESTA and eTA Canada? You cannot use your ESTA to enter Canada. Canada's eTA is a separate authorization and is required to enter Canada by air.


What documents do you need to enter Canada?

Entry into Canada: Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada carry proof of citizenship and identity. A valid U.S. passport, passport card, or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens. Children under 16 only need proof of U.S. citizenship.


Can you use an ESTA instead of a visa?

Is an ESTA a visa? No. An approved ESTA is not a visa. It does not meet the legal or regulatory requirements to serve in lieu of a U.S. visa when a visa is required under U.S. law.


Can I visit Canada with US visa?

Yes, most travellers need a visitor visa or an eTA to travel to, or transit through, Canada.


How long can you stay in Canada without a visa?

Most visitors can stay for up to 6 months in Canada. If you're allowed to enter Canada, the border services officer may allow you to stay for less or more than 6 months. If so, they'll put the date you need to leave by in your passport.
