Can I enter Canada by land with an ETA?

Yes, you can enter Canada by land with an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization). The ETA is a travel authorization that allows visa-exempt foreign nationals to enter Canada by air, sea, or land. While the initial implementation of the ETA focused on air and sea travel, it has been expanded to include land travel as well.

If you hold a valid ETA, you can use it to enter Canada through designated land ports of entry, such as border crossings or checkpoints between Canada and the United States. When you arrive at the land border, you will be required to present your passport, along with the approved ETA, to the Canadian border officers for inspection.

It is important to note that the same rules and requirements apply for entering Canada by land with an ETA as they do for other modes of entry. You must meet the eligibility criteria for the ETA, have a valid passport from an eligible country, and satisfy the purpose of your visit (tourism, business, or transit). The border officers have the authority to deny entry if you fail to meet these requirements or if they have concerns regarding admissibility.

It is advisable to plan your travel and ensure that you have the necessary documentation, including a valid passport and ETA, before arriving at the land border. It is also recommended to familiarize yourself with the specific entry requirements and any additional measures in place at the border, as these may vary depending on the circumstances and the current border policies.

Always check the official Government of Canada website or consult with the nearest Canadian embassy or consulate for the most up-to-date information and guidelines regarding entering Canada by land with an ETA.
