Visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to, or transit through a Canadian airport, need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). Visa-exempt travelers do not need an eTA when entering Canada by land or sea. An eTA can be valid for up to five years or until your passport expires.

If you get a new passport, you will need to get a new eTA. With a valid eTA you can travel to Canada as often as you want for short stays usually for up to six months at a time.

Parent and Grandparent Supervisa

Do you want your parent or grandparent to visit you and your family? This may be the right application for you! Your loved one may visit you for up two years initially if they meet the requirements. They may be eligible for multiple entry visas for up to 10 years depending on their individual circumstances.

Electronic Travel Authorization (ETAs)

Temporary Resident Permit (TRP)

A Temporary Resident Permit allows you to enter or remain in Canada. You may be issued a TRP if you are inadmissible to Canada.

If you would like to extend your stay or change your conditions in Canada, you should apply 30 days before your status expires:

• Extend your visitor, student, or work visa,

• Change your permit type (from study permit to work permit) or

• Change your permit conditions (changing schools or changing employment)
