      Travel requirements to Canada for British citizens

      If you're travelling from the United Kingdom to Canada, the first step is understanding the visa requirements. Securing the right visa makes your entry into Canada as smooth as possible. Let's explore all the necessary travel documents, visa types, and health requirements for British citizens visiting Canada.

      Canada visa requirements for British citizens

      Travellers need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to visit Canada for Business or Tourism. Travellers can apply online. Once approved, travellers receive their eTA confirmation electronically.

      Travellers who are permanent residents of Canada or the United States do not need an eTA.

      An eTA is electronically linked to a passport and valid for up to five years. If travellers receive a new passport, they must apply for a new eTA.
