What are the costs for an eTA application?

With one and the same eTA you can travel to Canada for business, tourist visits, or a Canadian airport transit. Your official travel purpose will not influence the cost for the application.

The total cost for an eTA application consists of a number of partial costs. The Canadian immigration service charges a fee to process your application, referred to as the consular costs. In addition, e-Visa.co.uk charges a fee to check and process your application, as well as to provide you with 24/7 assistance for your application.

The amount total for a standard eTA application is fixed at £29.95 per traveller, in spite of any currency fluctuations with the Canadian dollar (CAD). This amount consists of 7 CAD in consular fees and, at the current exchange rate, a service fee of £25.85 for applicants in the UK. Only for optional additional services such as urgent delivery or compensation of expected CO₂ emissions for your travel, a separate surcharge applies.

Estimate delivery times

The average delivery time for the eTA Canada, as applied for through this website, is the estimated processing time from the moment you have paid the application costs. This is done after filling out the application form. Following successful payment, your application is checked for common errors. If an error is detected, one of the visa specialists with e-Visa.co.uk will contact you as soon as possible to correct it in time. If this checks out, your application information is forwarded to the Canadian immigration service for assessment of your application.

You will receive an email as well as an SMS text message as soon as your eTA is issued. On your personal status page for the application e-Visa.co.uk you can download the eTA approval confirmation. From this moment, it is already possible to proceed with check-in for your flight to Canada. You do not even need to open, download, or print the eTA confirmation file for this. The average processing time from the moment of payment to receiving an approved eTA is 3 days. Urgent applications are on average processed in 45 minutes, even when making your payment outside of office hours, on the weekend or on a bank holiday.

No maximum delivery time guarantees

Please note that only an average handling time for processing of the eTA Canada applications can be indicated. No maximum delivery time can be guaranteed, as there are multiple factors in the processing of such applications which may cause a delay. Thorough sample checking may occur at times, in which case the application nearly always remains pending for a number of days. Including in the event of an urgent application. Sometimes the immigration service might also request additional documentation to process the application. This might happen if you have at one point lived in Canada as an official resident of the country, but no longer hold a valid Canadian residence permit or Canadian identity document. It is important to note that e-Visa.co.uk cannot expedite eTA processing by the immigration service in any way, not even in the event of an urgent application.

In addition, any technical issues which may occur, as well as (preventative) maintenance works on the immigration service’s technical systems or those of e-Visa.co.uk, preclude any maximum delivery time guarantees.

Please apply for your eTA on time

Because maximum delivery times cannot be guaranteed, please apply for your eTA as soon as you have decided to travel to Canada. At this stage, there is no need yet for you to have already made your travel arrangements. As the eTA is valid for five years, you can still decide when to travel to Canada after submitting your application. This way you needn’t worry about delivery times and you can save yourself the surcharge for an urgent delivery.

In the event you plant to travel within 5 days, e-Visa.co.uk can only process your application if you select the option for urgent delivery. The urgent application surcharge of £17.50 for each traveller will automatically be added to the total costs for a standard eTA Canada application, which is at £29.95.
