  • Visa-required travellers, conditional eTA eligibility, Canadian status, crew and special re-entry cases need an individual IRCC check. This result does not establish permission to enter.

How it works

The 5 June 2026 amendment extends the usual air requirement to vessels arriving directly from Saint Pierre and Miquelon. Vessels with overnight accommodation for at least 100 passengers, excluding crew, are excepted. Use capacity, not occupancy. Choose Below 100 or At least 100 only after checking with the operator. Unknown capacity leaves the route result and budget undetermined when the vessel exemption matters. US citizens and lawful permanent residents, and qualifying French residents arriving directly from Saint Pierre and Miquelon, are exempt regardless of capacity.

For a confirmed visa-exempt traveller, a required new application is budgeted at the editable fee; an exemption or existing valid eTA gives a zero new-application budget. Unknown eligibility gives no cost estimate. Amounts display to two decimals.

Worked examples

Air arrival needing a new eTA

A confirmed visa-exempt traveller who normally needs an eTA by air budgets CAD 7.00 at the default fee.

Direct vessel: the capacity boundary

For that traveller, a vessel with 99 overnight passenger places requires an eTA. At 100 places the vessel exception applies: CAD 0.00 for a new eTA.

Frequently asked questions

Is an eTA only for flights?
No. The direct vessel route from Saint Pierre and Miquelon is now included, subject to exemptions.
Does this check my nationality?
No. Use the linked IRCC eligibility checker first. Conditional eTA eligibility for visa-required nationalities is outside this route model.
What if I already have an eTA?
Select the existing valid eTA option. The result budgets no new application; it does not check the validity of your document.
What if I have a special re-entry or crew exemption?
Use IRCC for an individual check. Those cases are outside the form’s categories.
