A Visitor Visa and an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) both allow you to enter Canada, but they serve different purposes and apply to different travelers:

1. Visitor Visa: This is a physical document placed in your passport. It is required for citizens of countries that are not visa-exempt. A visitor visa allows you to enter Canada for tourism, business, or to visit family or friends, typically for up to six months.
2. eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization): This is an electronic entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals traveling to Canada by air. It’s linked to your passport and allows you to visit Canada for similar purposes as a visitor visa. An eTA is typically valid for up to five years or until your passport expires.

In summary, whether you need a visitor visa or an eTA depends on your nationality and mode of travel.

A Canadian Visitor Visa typically costs CAD $100 when applied for directly through the Government of Canada. Processing times can vary, generally taking from several weeks to a few months depending on your specific circumstances, application volume, and country of origin.

At Cantrust Visa, we offer a streamlined Visitor Visa application service for USD $500. This fee covers assistance with the application process and ensures timely and accurate submission.

An eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) for Canada costs CAD $7 when applied for directly through the Government of Canada. Approval is usually granted within minutes, but it can take up to a few days in some cases.

At Cantrust Visa, we offer a convenient eTA application service for USD $30. Our service ensures that your application is completed accurately and promptly.
