Electronic Travel Authorizations

Some countries require Canadians to get an electronic travel authorization (ETA) before traveling. This process is simple and can be done online. Countries like Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea already have this system. Europe will start using the ETIAS system in 2025 for travel to Schengen Area countries.

Entry Requirements

Even though Canadians can travel to these countries without a visa, they still need a valid passport. The passport must be valid for at least three months beyond the planned stay. For some countries, Canadians might need an electronic travel authorization.

Canadians Who Need a Visa

If Canadians do not meet the visa-free conditions, they need to apply for a visa. This can be done online, on arrival, or at an embassy. The purpose of the visit must be for tourism or business, and the stay must not exceed the allowed number of days.

Canadian Permanent Residents

Permanent residents of Canada with a passport from another country might need a visa to visit these countries. It depends on the passport they hold. However, if their country is eligible for ETIAS, they can travel to Schengen Area countries without a visa starting in 2025.

In summary, the Canadian passport allows visa-free travel to many countries. The list includes many European countries, as well as nations in the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. Canadians can enjoy long stays in some countries and short stays in others. Remember to check the entry requirements before traveling to ensure a smooth trip
