Do I Need a Visa for Canada from Australia?

Australian citizens don't need a visa for short-term visits of up to 6 months to Canada. Instead visa-exempt Aussies will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) when arriving by air. For stays of up to 6 months for business related activities, work, or study, appropriate visas or permits are required.  

If you’re unsure about the travel document you need to enter Canada, visit the IRCC website to find out if you need a visa or an eTA to travel to Canada. Similarly, Australian residents travelling with a foreign passport should use the IRCC’s online tool to determine whether they need an eTA or a visa to enter canada based on their passport nationality.  

Any advice is general advice only and does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation, or needs. As entry and visa requirements for Canada may change over time, it is your responsibility to verify entry and visa requirements with the official government authorities including the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the Canada Border Services Agency, and the Canadian High Commission in Australia.
