Conditions d’entrée au Canada

Most visitors who travel to or through Canada require either a valid visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), similar to the USA. To enter Canada without a visa or to travel through the country, you must comply with the following requirements:

• You must be a citizen of a country without a visa requirement.
• You must bring with you the necessary travel and identity documents for yourself and any accompanying children.
• You must have a valid Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

Detailed information about entry to Canada, travel documents, and identity documents as well as eTA and visas can be found on the website of the Government of 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. Sans ce document, l’entrée vous sera refusée. 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.

Les compagnies aériennes sont tenues de transmettre aux autorités les renseignements sur les passagers. Ces données sont enregistrées via le système Advance Passenger Information System (APIS).

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.

Avec l’application ArriveCAN, vous pouvez soumettre votre déclaration de douane et d’immigration jusqu’à 72 heures avant votre vol pour le Canada. Soumettre vos informations de douane et d’immigration à l’avance vous permet d’utiliser la voie express d’ArriveCAN à votre arrivée au Canada et de gagner du temps lors des procédures d’entrée et de douane.
