Visa-Exempt Countries That Require an eTA

Citizens of visa-exempt countries and territories (those who don't need a visitor visa to enter Canada) must apply for an eTA when flying to or transiting through a Canadian airport. They don't need a visa, but do need an eTA for air travel.

Note: Presence on this list means the passport holder is visa-exempt and must apply for an eTA to fly to Canada. Arriving by land or sea (car, train, bus, boat) generally doesn't require either a visa or eTA for these nationals.
