Can Australians go to Canada without a visa?

Australian citizens can visit Canada without a visa for tourism or business for up to six months. However, if arriving by air, you must obtain an eTA before your flight. The eTA is electronically linked to your passport and valid for up to five years. 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.
