What is a Canada eTA?

The Canada eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is a mandatory entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals flying to Canada. It is electronically linked to your passport and must be obtained before boarding your flight — airlines verify it automatically at check-in.

Dutch citizens are among the many nationalities required to have an eTA for air travel to Canada. A single eTA is valid for up to 5 years (or until your passport expires) and allows multiple stays of up to 6 months each. If you enter Canada by land from the United States, the eTA is not required.

The application takes about 5 minutes. Most applicants receive approval within minutes of submitting. In rare cases processing can take a few days, so apply before your trip. The eTA is linked electronically to your passport — you do not receive a physical document to carry.

Questions about Canada eTA

Who needs a Canada eTA?
Visa-exempt foreign nationals flying to Canada by air. This includes passport holders from the Netherlands and most other EU countries, as well as travellers from the US, Australia, and many others. Travellers arriving by land from the US or by sea do not need an eTA.
Do Dutch citizens need a Canada eTA?
Yes. Dutch passport holders flying to Canada need a valid eTA before boarding. Canada and the Netherlands have a visa-free travel agreement, but the eTA is still required as an electronic entry requirement. It is tied to your passport and checked automatically when you check in for your flight.
How much does a Canada eTA cost?
The Canadian government charges CAD 7 (approximately €5). EasyVisaHelp charges an additional service fee of €22 for application review and submission support, bringing the total to approximately €28. The government fee is included — no hidden costs.
How long is a Canada eTA valid?
5 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. Each stay may not exceed 6 months. You can enter Canada multiple times on a single eTA during its validity period.
How quickly is the eTA approved?
Most Canada eTA applications are approved within minutes. In some cases processing takes a few days. Apply well before your travel date to avoid any last-minute delays.
Do I need an eTA if I travel by land from the US?
No. The eTA is only required when flying into Canada. If you enter by car, bus, or train from the United States, you do not need an eTA — your passport is sufficient.
What happens if my Canada eTA is refused?
If your eTA application is refused, you can apply for a temporary resident visa at the nearest Canadian consulate. A refusal does not automatically mean you cannot visit Canada. EasyVisaHelp reviews your application before submission to minimize errors that could lead to a refusal.
What is the difference between EasyVisaHelp and the official Canada eTA website?
The official website (canada.ca) charges only the government fee of CAD 7. EasyVisaHelp charges an additional service fee for application review and submission support. Both result in the same official eTA issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Prefer to apply directly? Visit canada.ca/eta (the official Government of Canada website) and pay only the government fee of CAD 7.
