What is the permitted length of stay in Canada with the eTA?

With the Canada eTA, you are allowed to stay in the country for a maximum of 6 months. This is the standard permitted lenght for tourism, business, or other specific purposes that do not require a temporary resident visa.

It is important to take into account that the eTA does not guarantee a 6-month stay, the actual length of stay may be determined by the immigration officer at the point of entry into Canada. The officer may grant a shorter stay based on their assessment of the visit purpose and other factors.

If you plan to stay in Canada for more than 6 months, or if your visit involves activities not allowed with an eTA (such as working or studying for extended periods), you may need a different type of travel authorization or visa.

In summary, the ETA allows you to visit Canada for 6 months per entry, provided you meet the requirements and respect the conditions of your stay.
