All eligible travellers flying to Canada will need to apply online for an eTA before travel. This requirement includes all British citizens. The cost of the eTA is C$7 per passenger, and the validity of the eTA is five years, or until the passenger's passport expires.
Customers can find out more and apply at Canada.ca/eTA
While this is a pretty harmless and inexpensive process it still baffles me why.......
I'm a UK Citizen with a US Green Card AND Global Entry/NEXUS into and out of Canada and I still need the visa. I'm pretty sure they know everything they need to about me and my travel habits. Why another layer of paperwork?
