Hi all just to advise anyone travelling to Canada that as of March 2016 they have introduced a similar entry system to the USA ESTA. There is currently a 6 month period where you can still enter without it but after September 2016 everyone travelling into Canada will need to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization.

It costs 7 CAD and the official website is www.Canada.ca/eTA .

Many thanks for this, Keith. I had seen something about it several months ago and have it on my to-do list but haven't yet got round to doing it for my next holiday.

Hi Keith, 

Thanks for letting us know - I hope to go to Canada over the next couple of years so will have to get one!

Cheers,

Bob
