New travel guidelines Continued from page 1
fly to or transit through Canada. A visa-exempt foreign national is a person who is not a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, and who does not normally need a visa to enter Canada. Travellers that require an eTA will now need to apply
for it before booking their flight to Canada. All eTA- required travellers, regardless of their age, will need an eTA when they fly to Canada. If you decide to travel to Canada while your application is still being assessed, you may experience delays or be prevented from entering the country. If your application was refused, you should not plan or undertake any travel to Canada. Easy application format
You can apply for an eTA using any device with an
internet connection, including a mobile phone. It takes just a few minutes to complete the form. All you need to apply is a passport, a credit card and an email address. You cannot use debit. In most cases, the eTA will be granted within minutes
of applying and will be electronically linked to your pass- port, although, some applications can take several days to process. Once approved, an eTA is valid for five years, or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. You can make multiple visits to Canada with a valid eTA. Te eTA application form is only available in English
and French; however, to assist with eTA applications, descriptions of each field in the form are available in several languages, visit
cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta-start. asp for more information. Transport companies, such as airlines, must make
sure all travellers have proper, valid travel documents. If you do not have the proper documents, you may be delayed or unable to board the plane. To find out what else you may need to know before you
come to Canada, see Arriving in Canada at
travel.gc.ca. Fake websites
Te Government of Canada website is the official place
to apply for an eTA. Travellers who wish to apply for an eTA are advised to
be cautious in all dealings with companies that claim to offer help in getting an eTA. Tese companies are NOT operating on behalf of the Government of Canada. Many have established websites that charge a fee to provide information and submit eTA applications. Information gathered from the government of Canada website

2 Smart Biz Basic requirements for entering Canada To visit Canada, you will need to meet some basic
requirements, such as: • valid travel documents, such as a passport (dual
citizens may need two), • be in good health, • have no criminal or immigration-related convic-
tions, • convince an immigration officer that you have ties
— such as a job, home, financial assets or family —that will take you back to your home country, • convince an immigration officer that you will leave
Canada at the end of your visit, and • have enough money for your stay. (The amount of money you will need can vary. It depends on things such
as how long you will stay, and whether you will stay in a hotel, or with friends or relatives.) You may also need a: • medical exam and • letter of invitation from someone who lives in
Canada. Inadmissibility Some people are inadmissible — they are not al-
lowed to come to Canada. Several things can make you inadmissible, including involvement in criminal activity, in human rights violations or in organized crime. You can also be inadmissible for security, health or financial reasons.
Overview of the eTA application process 1. Get your passport and credit card ready, and read
the help document. 2. Use the online form at
cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta-
start.asp to apply. Te form cannot be saved, so have your information ready. Applications will need to be submitted separately for each traveller, including chil- dren, and paid for separately. Tose applying on behalf of their child or assisting another adult may do so by indicating at the start of the form that they are complet- ing it on behalf of another person. Your information can’t be saved and you have limited time to complete the form. Review the help document to make sure you have everything you need to complete the form. 3. Te cost of an eTA is $7 CAD and is due after an
individual’s application form is completed. 4. An email confirmation regarding the eTA applica-
tion will be sent within 72 hours. Most applications are approved within minutes. 5. In some cases, individuals may be asked to submit
additional documents before the application can be approved. If this happens, an email will be sent with instructions. If the eTA application is refused, an email from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
will be sent with the reasons for refusal. In this case, do not plan or undertake any travel to Canada as travellers may experience delays or be prevented from entering the country. Individuals can reapply for an eTA only once they
have addressed the reason(s) leading to the refusal of their application. What you will need to apply: • A valid passport from a visa-exempt country. If you
are a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. and you do not have a passport, you can apply for an eTA with: a valid U.S. Refugee Travel Document (I-571) or a valid Permit to Re-Enter the United States (I-327). • A credit card to pay the $7 fee - Visa, MasterCard,
American Express, or a pre-paid Visa, MasterCard or American Express. • A valid email address, as you will receive your re-
sults by email only. Check your junk folder. Also, print your receipt right away as you won’t be able to print it later or receive a copy of it. Important reminders: you can’t apply for an eTA us-
ing a Refugee Travel Document, Organization of Ameri- can States Travel Document, or UN Laissez-Passer.
