iVisa
5 min read
Updated on May 14, 2024

As a Japanese citizen, when you travel to Canada for a short stay, you are exempt from getting a Canada Visa. However, if you plan to go there by air, you are required to apply for a Canada ETA before you leave. The electronic authorization can be purchased online, and with iVisa, it can be yours in just 12 hours.

Read the rest of this post below.

Frequently Asked Questions / FAQs

If I'm from Japan, do I have to get a visa if I want to visit Canada?

You don't have to apply for a visa if you want to visit Canada for a short amount of time. Nevertheless, you still need a document to enter the country, and that's the Canadian ETA. This authorization doesn't work the same as a visa since it's much easier to get it.

What is an ETA for Japanese Citizens?

This ETA is an authorization that allows you to enter Canada. The countries that can apply for it must be visa-exempt. Luckily, Japan is within the visa-exempt county list.

How Long Can Japanese visitors Stay in Canada?

If you get your Canadian ETA, you can be in the nation of Canada 180 days per entry.

What are the requirements for this eVisa?

As you can guess, before you start the online application process, you need to make sure that you meet all the requirements. Fortunately, there is nothing on that list that would be challenging to acquire. Here is what you will need:

  • Passport – don't apply for a Canada ETA if you check that your passport doesn't maintain a validation for at least 6 months from the date of arrival in Canada.

  • E-mail address – you have to insert a valid email to receive the ETA. Take into consideration that once you have your ETA in your email, print it out.

  • Payment options – since the application is made entirely online, then the payment must be online as well. So, use your credit/debit card or a PayPal account.

WHAT IS THE VALIDITY OF THIS ETA?

Your ETA finishes 5 years after issued or until passport expires.

What are the processing times and fees?

Depending on the processing time you select, you will know the amount you must pay to get your ETA. Here are the best alternatives for you:

  • Standard processing – this kind of process is inexpensive but it takes 2 days to obtain your ETA and the amount that you need to pay is USD $99.49.

  • Rush processing – if you are looking for a faster alternative, then you should pick this one. Your Canada ETA is ready in 24 hours and the cost of it is USD $129.49.

  • Super Rush processing – you will pay the amount of USD $193.49 and your ETA will be done in 12 hours.

How much time do I need to apply?

All you need is 20 minutes of your valuable time.

How can I make my application for a Canada ETA?

After you gather all the important documents, you can start the application process. You are required to complete an application form, something that should take about 20 minutes of your time. However, if you are experiencing difficulties, do not hesitate to contact our super agents. The service can be reached 24/7 and is free of charge.

The form you have to fill in consists of three steps:

  1. The first one asks for your personal information, some details regarding your trip, and the passport info. You are also required to select a delivery time for your ETA, a factor that establishes the timeframe in which your Canada ETA is ready.

  2. Once you are finished with step one, you can move on to the second step. At this point, you are expected to make the payment and go through your form searching for possible mistakes. If you find any, correct them and then check again. It is crucial that the information you offer is 100% accurate.

  3. The third step asks you to deliver your application’s supporting documents. You have to upload them. When you complete this, submit your request, and iVisa will take care of the rest.

How many entries do I have to with my Canada ETA?

You'll have Multiple entry while your ETA is valid.

If I wish to travel to my children do I need an ETA for them?

If your children are less than 18, they need to apply for an ETA. Contact us and ask all the questions that you want about it.

Does the Canadian ETA guarantee that I can enter this nation?

We strongly remark that if you obtain a Canadian ETA, it doesn't mean that you will enter Canada. Everything will depend on the Immigration checkpoint decision.

Upon arrival, you will be inspected by an Immigration officer who will determine that you are admissible to Canada.
