CANADA ETA FOR CYPRIOT CITIZENS
Visitors from Cyprus and citizens of other European Union countries are not required to obtain a visa to enter Canada. However, they must apply for and obtain a Canadian eTA. The Canadian government implemented the eTA in August 2015 as a mandatory requirement for all visitors to Canada. Cypriot visitors must apply for an eTA visa if they intend to visit Canada for tourism, business, transit, or medical reasons. The e-Visa authorization is valid for five years from the date of issuance or until the passport expires. This multiple-entry visa allows visitors to travel to Canada as many times as they want during the validity period. However, the duration of each stay cannot exceed 6 months. When the eTA is approved, it is electronically linked to the traveler’s passport. If you cannot go back to your home country within 180 days, you need to apply for a visitor record to extend your stay in Canada. Apply now, complete an online application form that takes less than 15 minutes and travel to Canada.

CANADA ETA FOR ESTONIAN CITIZENS
If you are an Estonian citizen planning a short trip to Canada for a variety of reasons, including leisure, visiting family, business, attending a conference or meeting, seeking medical treatment, or simply passing through, you can apply for a Canadian Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). The Canada eTA program was launched in 2015 and is available in 60 countries. The primary goal of this program is to improve the efficiency of processing international tourists entering the country. This will lead to shorter lines at the border and a more enjoyable travel experience for visitors. The applicant’s passport number is securely linked to the provided information, which is stored in Canada’s immigration system. The Canadian eTA has a 5-year validity period and can be used for multiple entries of up to 90 days each. To extend your stay in Canada, you must apply for a new eTA at least 30 days in advance. Most requests are processed in just a few minutes. However, travelers are advised to apply for the eTA at least 72 hours before departure in case of delays or requests for additional information.

CANADA ETA FOR FINLAND CITIZENS
It is important to note that Finnish citizens must enter Canada legally by obtaining a visa or a visa waiver, regardless of the reason for their visit. Finnish citizens, like citizens from many other countries, are not required to obtain a visa for temporary visits to Canada. In order to simplify the application process and eliminate the need for in-person visits to an embassy, the Canadian government created the Canadian eTA specifically for Finnish nationals in 2016. Finnish citizens who want to visit Canada for short-term reasons such as pleasure, business, transit, or medical care must apply for a Canada eTA visa. This requirement is in place because Finnish citizens are exempt from visa requirements. A multiple entry travel authorization that has been approved for Canada allows a total stay of up to 6 months with each entry. Once your Canadian electronic Permit has been issued, it will automatically be ‘linked’ to your Finnish passport. The good thing about the new Canadian eTA is that it is valid for five years (or until your passport expires, whichever comes first). The process of obtaining a Canadian eTA takes less than 30 minutes online, so there is no need to visit an embassy or meet in person. Travelers can have their visa waiver approved in minutes.
CANADIAN VISA REQUIREMENTS FOR FINNISH CITIZENS

A valid Finnish bio-metric passport – All travelers who want to get a Canadian eTA must have a bio-metric and machine-readable passport, since the visa is electronically linked to the traveler’s passport. It is also recommended to have at least 6 months of validity in your passport.
-
Personal information – While filling out the application, all travelers will need to provide information that pertains to their passport, personal information (address, contact information), employment, and travel details/itinerary.
-
A valid form of payment – Travelers will need a valid form of payment, such as a debit or credit card, to pay the eTA application fees.
-
E-mail address– while the Canada ETA is electronically linked to your passport, you will obtain a copy of the authorization via e-mail in PDF format. It’s recommended to print one physical copy out just in case you need it.
CANADA ETA FOR HUNGARY CITIZENS
Hungarian visitors may enter Canada only for business, pleasure, or transit purposes. It is critical to notify them that a valid visa or Canadian visa waiver is required for entry. Individuals traveling for educational, employment, or retirement purposes do not require an ETA. The implementation of the Canada eTA system in 2016 facilitated and expedited the process for Hungarian nationals to obtain a travel permit. However, a different type of visa is required for other purposes, which can be obtained from a Canadian embassy. Hungarian citizens planning to stay in Canada for a maximum of 180 days (6 months) can easily apply for a Canada eTA from the comfort of their own home. An eTA is a multiple-entry travel authorization that allows the holder to stay in Canada for up to 6 months with each entry. Once issued, the Canadian eTA for Hungary is valid for a period of 5 years or until the expiration of the associated passport, whichever comes first. The eTA eVisa Waiver, which is linked to the traveler’s passport once approved, can be applied for a few days prior to travel exclusively online, eliminating the need to apply in person at a Canadian embassy.

CANADA ETA FOR ICELAND CITIZENS
Citizens of 53 countries, including Iceland, can visit Canada without a visa for a limited period of time by obtaining an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). The Canadian government implemented the eTA in 2015 to speed up entry into the country, reduce border wait times, and improve security measures. The eTA application process is simple and can be completed online from anywhere in the world at the applicant’s convenience. Icelandic citizens, on the other hand, who plan to stay in Canada for more than 180 days must obtain a tourist visa in Iceland. Furthermore, all Icelandic citizens wishing to study, work, or live permanently in Canada must obtain a visa. For shorter stays for purposes such as leisure, business, transit or medical treatment, Icelanders are eligible to apply for a Canadian eTA. Please note that this only applies to air travel and entry into Canada through one of its international airports. Icelandic eTA holders can stay in Canada for a maximum of 6 months. The overall validity of the permit is 5 years or until the passport expires. This means Icelanders can travel to Canada multiple times without having to apply for an eTA each time. Applying for an Icelandic eTA is very easy. The applicant only needs to take a few minutes to complete the eTA application form through the official Canada Online Visa website.
