Visitors to Canada
Travellers wishing to travel to Canada will either need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). The only exception are US Citizens, who require only their passport. There is also a biometric requirement for persons coming from a country that requires a visa. Persons who require only an eTA do not need to provide a biometric.
Starting July 31, 2018 – applicants from Europe, Middle East and Africa who would normally require a visa will need to give their biometric as part of their visa application. Starting December 31, 2018 – applicants from Asia, Asia Pacific and the Americas who would normally require a visa will need to give their biometric as part of their visa application.
Travellers that normally require a visa will also need to provide a biometric. The biometric must be collected at a Visa Application Centre (VAC) overseas and as it forms part of the visa application, it must be provided before a visa application can be decided upon. The biometric must be given in person at any of the139 VACs we have in 53 countries around the globe. The biometric cannot be collected at the airport overseas, OR upon arrival OR in Canada.
