Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid Canadian visa. Canadian citizens, including dual citizens, and Canadian permanent residents cannot apply for an eTA.
It only costs $7 CAD. Most eTA applications are approved within minutes of applying. Entry requirements for other methods of travel (land, sea) have not changed.
