Entry requirements for Canada

🇬🇧 British passport holders

  • Visa: To enter or transit through Canada, most people need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization ( eTA ) – not both.
  • Passport: To enter Canada, your passport must be valid for the length of your planned stay.
Read the full UK entry requirements

This information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of Canada’s current rules for the most common types of travel.

The authorities in Canada set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Canadian High Commission in the UK.

Passport validity requirements

To enter Canada, your passport must be valid for the length of your planned stay.

If you’re travelling through another country on your way to or from Canada, check the entry requirements for that country. Many countries will only allow entry if you have at least 6 months validity remaining on your passport.

Dual nationals

When returning to the UK, British citizens must carry a valid British passport or certificate of entitlement. See Dual Citizenship.

Visa requirements

To enter or transit through Canada, most people need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) – not both.

Check if you need a visa or an eTA online.

You do not need a visa for short visits (normally up to 6 months). You may need an eTA instead.

You do not need an eTA, if you are:

See Canada’s entry requirements for full details of eTA and visa requirements.

Contact the Canadian High Commission in the UK if you are unsure about visa requirements or your eligibility to enter the country, for example, if you have a criminal record or have been arrested.

Checks at border control

Canadian border officials may ask you to show a return or onward ticket and proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself for the duration of your stay, even if you are staying with family or friends.

Visas for permanent residence, study or work

See information on visas for permanent residence, study or work in Canada.

Ebola

As a public health measure, Canada has introduced temporary border measures for travellers arriving from regions affected by the Ebola outbreak.

Canada is suspending certain immigration documents for residents of the Democratic Republic of 4Congo, Uganda and South Sudan until August 28, 2026.

Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and foreign nationals entering Canada who, in the previous 21 days, have been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda or South Sudan will be given a health assessment upon arrival. Those who do not have symptoms will have to quarantine for 21 days. If they do not have a place where they can quarantine safely, they will be provided with an appropriate location. Travellers who have symptoms will be isolated at a hospital for further assessment. These measures are being implemented under the Quarantine Act. This border measure will be in place until August 29, 2026.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared this a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

Check the Government of Canada’s official website for more information.

Transiting through Canada

If you are travelling through Canada (transiting) by air, you must have an eTA or a transit visa.

If you have questions, contact:

Find out more about transiting Canada.

Visa and eTA scams

Some unauthorised websites charge for submitting visa applications. These websites are not associated with the Canadian government.

You can check your eTA status online with the Canadian government. If it has been 72 hours since you applied, and you have not received confirmation of your application, complete an enquiry form.

Travelling with children

If a child travels alone or with only one parent or legal guardian, they should carry a letter of consent from the non-travelling parents or guardians. Immigration officers have the right to question children using simple and appropriate language to see if there are any concerns about child abduction.

For more information, check with the Canadian High Commission in the UK or the Canada Border Services Agency.

Vaccine requirements

For details about medical entry requirements and recommended vaccinations, see TravelHealthPro’s Canada guide.

Customs rules

There are strict rules about goods you can take into or out of Canada. You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

The Canadian authorities will confiscate banned food products and you could get a fine. For more information, see importing food, plants or animals to Canada.

If you visit a farm or have contact with wild animals before entering Canada, and plan to visit a farm during your stay, you must declare this on your Customs Declaration Card. For more information, see biosecurity at the Canadian border.

Other passports

Rules depend on your nationality, so we do not guess. Before you book:

  • Read your own government's travel advice first (US travellers: State Department page for Canada).
  • Official government portal: Canada eTA (official). Real portals sit on government domains; copycat sites often charge extra.
  • Not sure what your passport needs? Check the visa rules for your nationality (eVisas visa checker) or compare with VisaHQ. These are affiliate links: if you use their application service we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Official government sites are usually cheaper and are linked above where we have them.
  • Check your passport: many countries want it valid for 6 months after arrival and with blank pages.
  • Check for an e-visa, travel authorisation or digital arrival card, and any vaccine rules (yellow fever is the common one).
  • Ask your airline: they can refuse boarding if your documents do not match the rules.

New entry systems that affect Canada

Canada eTA (visa-exempt air travellers)

Visa-exempt visitors flying to Canada need an eTA. The fee is reported as CAD 7. US citizens do not need one. Confirm on canada.ca.

Voyaggora guides in Canada

Quick answers: is it safe to travel to Canada?

Is it safe to travel to Canada right now?
Official advice is to take normal or increased precautions. As of Oct 18, 08:26 UTC. The US State Department rates Canada Level 1 of 4, "Normal precautions". The UK FCDO has no warnings against travel to Canada. Advisory levels change and can vary by region within a country: check the official page before you travel. Sources: US State Department UK FCDO.
Are there any active weather or hazard alerts in Canada right now?
As of Oct 18, 08:26 UTC, Travel Live shows these live hazard and alert sections for Canada: official weather warnings, U.S. Embassy alerts, more live hazards and notices, air quality and fires near popular destinations, road incidents, rail and metro alerts. Each one on this page names its official source and the time it was checked. Worldwide storms, earthquakes and disasters are on the Travel Live hub.
What do the advisory levels mean?
US State Department: Level 1 exercise normal precautions, Level 2 exercise increased caution, Level 3 reconsider travel, Level 4 do not travel. Canada: take normal security precautions, exercise a high degree of caution, avoid non-essential travel, avoid all travel. UK FCDO: it advises against all travel, or all but essential travel, to the whole country or to parts of it, or has no warnings. Each government uses its own scale, so the levels are not directly comparable.
