Yes, all travelers, including children and infants, must have their own individual eTA to fly to or transit through a Canadian airport.
What You Need to Know
Canada requires every visa-exempt foreign national, regardless of age, to obtain an eTA before traveling by air. Children must have a valid passport and a separate eTA application. There are no age exemptions. In some cases, information from the parent or guardian’s application may be needed when applying for a child’s eTA.
Our Recommendation
Parents or guardians should apply separately for each child and ensure all passport details are accurate. To simplify the process, we recommend completing the adult's application first, as some details may be required again for the child’s form.
A Quick Tip
Have your child’s passport, travel itinerary, and supporting documents ready before starting the application to avoid delays.
