Canadian Visa for Brazilian citizens
Canadian Visa for Brazilian Citizens
According to the Canadian visa policy, most of the nationalities do not require a regular visa. If they want to visit Canada for tourism, short term business meetings or visiting their relatives, they can use eTA. Electronic Travel Authorization is an e-Visa that enables citizens from the eligible countries to cross the Canadian border.
What is an e-visa to Canada for Brazilian citizens?
Brazilian citizens are eligible to get eTA to Canada. This e-visa permit is valid for 5 years from the issuing date, or until your passport expires. It is a multiple-entry visa, which means that you can visit Canada numerous times within the validity period. However, each stay cannot be longer than 6 months at a time.
The processing time can take up to 72 hours, though usually, eTA to Canada is granted within a couple of minutes. The application process should take you less than 15 minutes to complete.
Requirements and the required documents:
Before applying, please make sure that you have:
- a valid passport: passport validity has to exceed six months ahead of the intended trip.
- an active e-mail address: onto which eTA is sent
- a clean criminal record: you cannot travel to Canada when you have committed some serious offences. Non-serious offences do not count. You can still apply with a speeding ticket.
Additional requirements for Brazilians:
Brazilian citizens can apply for eTA only under one of the following conditions:
- when they are permanent Green Card holders (have a permanent US residency)
- if they had a regular visa to Canada in the last 10 years
- if they have a non-immigrant visa to US
When you are not meeting any of the above conditions, you cannot apply for an eTA to Canada.
