All Canadian citizens can use a visa to enter Australia for three purposes:

  • tourism: perfect for visiting your friends and family residing in Australia, exploring the country's tourist destinations, or going on a holiday.
  • business: ETA can be used for all business-related travel. You can attend a business meeting, conference, or negotiate a contract in Australia.
  • transit: travelling to another country through Australia is also possible with an ETA. All Canadian citizens transiting through Australia need to apply online for an Australian ETA.

Australian ETA is valid for 12 months (one year) from the date of issue or until your passport expires.
