How long the Canada eTA lasts

The authorization is valid for up to 5 years — or until your passport expires, if that comes first.

Multiple entries

During that period you can travel to Canada more than once.

Each stay is limited to 6 months. The border officer decides how long you may stay on arrival.

With a new passport

The authorization follows the passport it was granted against. A new passport means a new application.

Finding the date again

It is in the approval email. Keep it.
