Canadian passport holders need a Tourist eVisa to visit Myanmar. Apply online at the official portal before you travel; visa on arrival is not available to Canadian tourists. A Canada ordinary passport holder traveling to Myanmar for tourism must obtain a Tourist eVisa in advance. Myanmar does not offer visa-free entry or tourist visa on arrival to Canadians; the only practical short-stay route is the eVisa, applied for online at the official government portal evisa.moip.gov.mm before departure. The Tourist eVisa costs USD 50, permits a single entry with a stay of up to 28 days, is valid for 90 days from issue, and is non-extendable. Standard processing is about 3 business days. The Government of Canada confirms a visa is mandatory and that proof of hotel accommodation is required on arrival. Note that Canada currently maintains an "Avoid all travel" advisory for Myanmar due to the ongoing security and political situation, so travelers should weigh significant risks before going.
