Singapore to Canada visa requirements
Singapore citizens using ordinary passports are visa-exempt for Canada but must obtain an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before flying to or transiting through Canada. The eTA costs CAD 7, is usually approved in minutes, and visitors are normally allowed to stay for up to 6 months. Singapore citizens using ordinary passports do not need a visitor visa for short visits to Canada. Singapore is on Canada's eTA-required visa-exempt list, so travelers need an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) when arriving or transiting by air. The eTA is applied for online through the official IRCC website, costs CAD 7, and is electronically linked to your passport. Most applications are approved within minutes, though some can take several days if documents are requested. An approved eTA is valid for up to 5 years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first, and allows multiple entries. Visitors are normally allowed to stay in Canada for up to 6 months per entry, as determined by the border services officer. No eTA is required if entering Canada by land or sea (car, bus, train, or boat/cruise), though you still must carry a valid passport. Travelers must satisfy a border services officer that they meet Canada's basic entry requirements, including having enough money, ties that support leaving Canada, and an intention to leave at the end of the approved stay.
