- If you receive a new passport, you must apply for a new eTA. With a valid eTA, you may travel to Canada as often as you wish for short stays (usually up to six months at a time).
- An eTA is not required for travel within Canada.
- Please note: an eTA does not guarantee entry into Canada. When you arrive in Canada, a border services officer will review your passport and other documents, and you must demonstrate that you are eligible to enter the country.
