Editorial methodology
How this country reference is maintained
The directory is organized from Government of Canada travel-document rules rather than treating every nationality as automatically eTA-eligible. Normal eTA-required entries and conditional visa-required entries are deliberately separated because the legal test is different.
How to use this Canada eTA country list
1. Find your passport country
Choose the nationality or travel-document category that matches the passport you will use to travel.
2. Check how you will enter Canada
Air travel and airport transit can create an eTA requirement that does not apply in the same way to many land or sea arrivals.
3. Verify the exact rule
Passport type, immigration status, visa history and personal circumstances can change the document required. Confirm the final rule on Canada.ca.
