Eligibility of Swedish citizens for traveling to Canada
All Swedish citizens are required to have a valid passport and a visa to enter Canada.
However, nowadays, depending on the number of days the citizen is going to stay in the country, it is possible to apply for what is known as an eTA to Canada, electronic travel authorization.
This permit makes it easier for the traveler to comply with the requirements.
Step by step all Swedish citizens must complete applying for an eTA to Canada
Before you apply for an eTA to Canada, your stay in the said country cannot last more than 90 days, otherwise, you will need to apply for a regular visa.
On the other hand, the electronic travel authorization is intended to facilitate the procedures for those citizens who visit Canada for tourism purposes and who wish to spend their holidays in the country, or for business purposes, for any Swedish who must give a lecture or hold a business event.
If the purpose of the trip exceeds 90 days, such as studying at a university, working permanently for a company or moving out of the country, the regular visa must be obtained.
- Step 1: To apply for the eTA to Canada, you must fill out an application, which consists of placing all your data, including the reason for your trip, ie specifying whether it is for business or tourism. Additionally, you must correctly enter your passport number, e-mail address, and telephone number.
- Step 2: You have to ensure all the information inserted in the form is valid because the agents are required to contact you via email or phone number.
- Step 3: You need to pay for the service of processing the travel authorization to Canada.
- Step 4: To find out if the traveler has been approved, you need to wait at most 72 hours. The answer will be sent to the Swedish citizen’s e-mail.
