Canada Travel Requirements – June 2023 Alumni Reunion
Visitors to Canada require either (1) a Temporary Resident Visa (‘TRV’) or (2) an Electronic Travel Authorization (‘eTA’) to enter Canada.
Further information on visitor visas, and if you will require one, can be found here.
If you are a citizen of a Commonwealth nation, you will find below a list of the document(s) you will need for entry to Canada.
This is not a difficult process but the processing times and fees can vary by country. You should apply for your Visa or eTA as soon as possible.
