The information below concerns travelers who are nationals of the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland and Canada traveling to Canada for a tourist stay. As entry rules may change, we recommend that you verify this information with the official authorities before your departure.

Passport

To enter Canada, your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your planned stay. It is however strongly advised that it remains valid for at least six months after your planned return date.
The document must have at least one blank page for immigration stamps and be in good condition (no damaged, torn or altered pages).
Canadian nationals must present their Canadian passport or permanent resident card according to their status.

Tourist stay without visa

Nationals of the European Economic Area and Switzerland benefit from a visa exemption for tourist stays in Canada.

This exemption allows a stay of up to 6 months upon entry to the territory, at the discretion of the Canadian border services officer.

The authorities may request:

• an exit ticket from the territory (return or onward flight),

• proof of sufficient financial resources for the duration of your stay,

• documentation regarding the purpose and conditions of your stay.

Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)

Nationals of the EEA and Switzerland traveling by air must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before departure. This requirement does not apply to travel by land or sea.

The eTA is electronically linked to your passport and allows Canadian authorities to verify traveler eligibility. It is valid for 5 years or until passport expiry, for multiple entries.

To obtain it, you must provide:

• passport information

• a valid email address

• a payment method (fees amount to 7 CAD)

The application must be submitted online on the official Canadian government website, ideally several days before departure. Confirmation is generally sent by email within minutes, but may sometimes take several days.

Health

No vaccines are mandatory to enter Canada. It is nonetheless recommended that you ensure routine vaccinations (diphtheria, tetanus, measles, etc.) are up to date before departure.

Purchasing travel health and repatriation insurance is strongly advised, as medical costs in Canada are particularly high for foreign visitors not covered by a public health plan.

Travel with children

Minors must hold their own valid passport covering the duration of the stay.

When a child travels with only one parent or an adult who is not their parent, Canadian authorities may request a letter of consent signed by the absent parent(s), accompanied if possible by identification documents from them. While this document is not systematically required, it is strongly recommended to avoid any issues upon entry.

In some European countries, an authorization to leave the territory may also be required according to the regulations of the country of residence.

Other nationalities

Entry conditions may vary depending on nationality. Travelers concerned should inquire at the Canadian embassy or consulate in their country of residence or consult the official Canadian government website.

To participate in our trips, it is strongly advised to be covered for repatriation assistance and medical expenses abroad.
