Applying for a Canada eTA for EU Citizens

Visa Agency — the #1 visa service provider

For EU citizens located in Poland, applying for a Canada eTA is the fastest way to obtain travel authorization. Our team will help you navigate the procedure without errors or delays, so you can focus on your travel plans rather than bureaucratic formalities.

What is the purpose of a Canada eTA?

An eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is an entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals traveling to Canada, introduced in 2016. It is intended exclusively for short-term stays, specifically:

visiting Canada for tourism (vacation, exploring culture and nature);
attending business meetings, negotiations, or conferences;
transiting through Canadian airports.

It is important to understand that an eTA does not grant the right to work or study in Canada — separate visa categories are required for these purposes.

Who can apply for a Canada eTA in Poland?

Citizens of European Union countries legally residing in Poland who hold a biometric passport can apply for a Canada eTA, as the electronic authorization is linked directly to it.
Additionally, citizens of other countries also have the right to obtain an electronic authorization if entering Canada by air. In particular:

European countries: most EU countries (including Andorra, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland), as well as the UK and Switzerland.
The Americas: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Chile, Mexico.
Asia-Pacific region: Australia, Brunei, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea.
Special list 2023–2026: Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Morocco, Panama, Philippines, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Seychelles, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay.
