Most Canadian eTAs are approved within minutes, but some applications may take several days or more.
What You Need to Know
The typical processing time for a Canadian eTA is under 24 hours, though the Canadian government advises that some applications may take up to 72 hours or longer. Processing times can vary based on government volume, public holidays, or requests for additional information. Sherpa° submits your application at the most appropriate time for your trip and monitors for updates throughout the process.
Our Recommendation
Apply early to avoid last-minute complications. Sherpa° allows you to submit your application well in advance, and we will hold and time the submission to ensure it's processed at the ideal moment based on your travel plans.
A Quick Tip
Double-check that all your information is accurate, especially passport number and arrival date, to help avoid delays or rejections.
