Documents and tips for Canadian travellers

Canadian passports come in 5- and 10-year versions; whichever you hold, verify it meets the destination’s minimum validity beyond your planned departure. Charges are usually in US dollars, so Canadian applicants should expect a minor CAD-to-USD conversion on their card statement. The most common avoidable mistake for Canadian citizens: applying with an expiring passport: renew first if your Canadian passport is within a few months of expiry, or the eVisa may be tied to a document you can no longer use.

  • Match your application to the names and passport number on your current Canadian passport.
  • Dual Canadian citizens should apply on the passport they will physically travel on to avoid mismatches at the border.
  • Save the approval to your phone — Canadian travellers are often asked for it when connecting through a third country.
