Visa & entry
If you need a visa, start the process well before May 27, 2025 — processing can take several weeks.
Most visitors need either an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) — for visa-exempt travellers arriving by air — or a visitor visa, depending on nationality. Apply before travel via IRCC.
General guidance only — always confirm requirements with the official embassy/consulate for your nationality.
