When you are travelling to Canada, one of the first things that you need to plan is your crossing the Canadian border. While you can always choose a direct crossing of the border, this may be quite an expensive option for you. If you are travelling from the United States into Canada, you can choose either a bridge across the Rideau River or use the customs bridge just to the north of the Rideau Bridge. From here, you will need to take a crossing into Hemispheres territory (Ottawa is in Gatineau) and then continue onto an island in the Pacific Ocean. If you are travelling from the United States, you will find that there is a wide selection of crossing points including; inlets, Inuit villages and points in between along the American border and into downtown Vancouver.
Once you have crossed the border, you will need to apply for a temporary resident visa. The application must be done at the Federal Office of Immigration. The processing time frame can take up to three months, and it cannot be less than six months. Once your visa has been approved, you will then need to apply for your permanent resident card. This card is called a permanent resident card and it allows you access to most areas in Canada. The three categories of access are provincial, community and public.
If you are travelling from the United States to Canada then you will need to apply for a Canadian citizenship certificate. In order to obtain a passport for yourself you will have to apply for a permanent resident visa first. Once you have obtained a permanent resident card and you have a passport, then you can apply for a Canadian citizenship certificate. However, there are certain situations where you do not require a passport and you can apply for an ETA. An ETA is a temporary travel document that is good for three years.
There are three ways in which you can get an ETA. First of all, if you are travelling between countries then you may apply directly for one. If you do not have a permanent resident status in Canada then you can apply for an ETA and then use it as a passport when you get to your first country. Another way to get an ETA is to apply for a visa that is valid for your intended stay in Canada. If you are travelling between countries then you will be required to obtain a passport in order to pass through the immigration process.
However, if you are travelling between countries and you are applying for a Canadian passport then you do not require a passport for each visit. There are many advantages of using an ETA rather than a passport when travelling between countries. When you use an ETA, you will be able to cross the border without having to produce a passport for each country that you cross. Also, if you are crossing into another country that does not recognise your language or that has a different tax system than Canada then you will not be required to produce a passport.
There are many different types of ETA that you can get when travelling between Canada and the United States. When you are visiting either the United States or Canada, you will be required to show proof of citizenship by showing evidence that you are a resident of the state that you are visiting. This proof of citizenship can usually be obtained from the registry office in your state or from an international embassy. Another option is to apply for an electronic travel authorisation. Electronic travel authorisations are now available from Canadian authorities and are a much more convenient way of obtaining an ETA.
