International Travel

Visitors entering Canada must present a valid passport and, in most cases, a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). The Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is mandatory for visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to Canada. Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travelers with a valid visa. Before entering Canada, all visitors are responsible for ensuring that they have the required documents necessary, whether they are travelling through to another country or returning to their country of origin. For the complete details, visit Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

American citizens, including American-Canadian citizens, must carry proper identification and meet the basic requirements to enter Canada. You do not need a Canadian passport, a Canadian visa or an eTA to enter Canada if you are travelling with a valid U.S. passport. Learn more.

As of September 1, the processing time for a passport is 17+ weeks. Learn about the steps for how to apply for or renew your U.S. passport.
