Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)
Quick, Hassle-Free Entry to Canada for Visa-Exempt Travellers
If you are from a visa-exempt country and flying to Canada, you likely need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before boarding your flight. At Godwit Law Office, we help travellers determine if they need an eTA, prepare the application, and resolve any issues that may arise during the process.
An approved eTA is linked to your passport and is valid for up to five years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

Most visa-exempt foreign nationals flying to Canada need an eTA. Travellers entering by land or sea generally do not. -

Many applications are approved within minutes, but some require additional documents or review, which can take days or weeks. -
