Canada

A Tourist Visa or Business Visa is NOT required for citizens of the United States for a stay up to 180 days. Important Notice: New entry requirement (Electronic Travel Authorization, eTA) now in effect Visa-exempt foreign nationals need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to fly to or transit through Canada. Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid Canadian visa. Canadian citizens, including dual citizens, and Canadian permanent residents cannot apply for an eTA. The leniency period that allows travellers to board their flight without an eTA ends soon. Be prepared: Apply for an eTA before you book your flight to Canada. Most applicants get approved within minutes. However, some applications can take several days to process so don’t wait until the last minute.
