STEP 2: Passport Requirements – Determine if you need to submit your passport(s)
Determine whether you need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada at:
www.cic.gc.ca/ENGLISH/visit/visas.asp
a. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need a visa to travel to Canada, you will
need to submit original passport(s) for you and each accompanying family member. Your
passport(s) should be valid for at least 6 months and have at least two blank pages. If a child is
included on your passport, you must have one blank page per accompanying child.
Please note that you STILL need to submit your passport(s) even if:
o You or your accompanying family members have a valid Canadian temporary
residence visa or permit.
o You or your accompanying family members are permanent residents of the U.S.A
and holder of passport(s) from countries whose citizens need a visa to travel to
Canada.
Note: All passports must be intact and not worn, torn or otherwise damaged; the laminate on the
bio-data page must be securely attached. Each page must be securely affixed to the passport;
there cannot be any loose pages.
b. If your passport is from a country whose citizens need an eTA to travel to Canada or your
passport is from the United States, you will need to submit one photocopy of the photo page
and any pages containing amendments of the passport for you and each accompanying family
member (Note: any accompanying family member whose passport does require a visa however,
will need to submit their original passport as per Step 2a). Your passport(s) should be valid for at
least 6 months. Please do not send your original passport(s).
*** Please note that Confirmation of Permanent Residence and permanent resident visas cannot be
issued on Diplomatic, Official or Military passports or travel documents. You must provide an ordinary
passport. ***
