Entry requirements for Canada

In accordance with the Canadian entry requirements, passengers require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for their stay in Canada before they board their flight to a Canadian city. Without this document, you will be denied entry. We recommend applying for an eTA before you book the flight. The application costs 7 CAD. An eTA is valid for up to five years and enables repeated entry to Canada, provided your passport does not expire during this period.

Airlines are obliged to transfer passenger data to the authorities. This takes place via the Advance Passenger Information System (APIS), among others.   

You are obliged to transfer complete and correct information to the authorities. You can enter this in advance at lufthansa.com. If this is not possible, the data will be collected during the check-in process.

Using the ArriveCAN app you can transfer your customs and immigration declaration up to 72 hours before your flight to Canada. By submitting your customs and immigration information in advance, you can use the ArriveCAN express lane on arrival in Canada and save time through immigration and customs.
