Canadian Visitor Visa




Before going to Canada, you need to apply for an eTA electronic visa, which costs $7 Canadian dollars. Apply online and you will receive an email notification within one or two days. Show the number to the airline staff before boarding the plane. This is a convenience for general Hong Kong SAR passport holders and other visa-free countries to travel to Canada. In view of this, starting from June 6, 2023, the IRCC has added 13 countries that are eligible for electronic visas (eTA), including:


  • Philippine

  • Thailand

  • Argentina

  • Antigua and Barbuda

  • Costa Rica

  • Morocco

  • Panama

  • Saint Kitts and Nevis

  • Saint Lucia

  • St. Vincent and the Grenadines

  • Seychelles

  • Trinidad and Tobago

  • Uruguay


However, to meet the eTA application requirements, applicants from the above countries need to have obtained a Canadian Visitor Visa in the past 10 years, or hold a valid U.S. non-immigrant visa. Otherwise, if the applicants from the above countries are applying to Canada for the first time, they still need to apply for a Visitor Visa. After approval, they can apply for an eTA when they go to Canada again, without having to apply for a new visa.
