Are you a Mexican citizen wondering if you need a visa permit to travel to Canada? Mexican citizens don't need a regular visa permit to travel to Canada; however, all travellers from Mexico need an eTA to cross the Canadian border by air.

ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is an e-Visa permit mandatory to have when travelling to Canada by plane. It links directly to your passport; there is no need to print it out. You don't have to visit the embassy, take care of the excessive amount of paperwork, or wait in long lines. The application process can be completed entirely online in less than 15 minutes.

Keep on reading to learn all about eTA permits for Mexican citizens.

Is eTA for Mexican citizens a work permit?

ETA is not a work permit. It does not allow working while in Canada. An electronic visa permit can be used for the following reasons:

• tourism: you can visit your friends and family that are staying in Canada. You can explore the country as a tourist and discover all of the beautiful tourist destinations Canada has to offer.
• business: all Mexican citizens with a valid passport and an eTA can attend a business meeting or a conference in Canada.
• transit: eTA is also obligatory to have when you're transiting to another country through Mexico's Canadian border.

ETA validity and processing time for Mexican citizens

ETA is a legal travel document that is valid for 5 years from the issuing date or until your passport expires. Whenever your passport expires, or you make any changes to it, eTA becomes invalid.

E-Visa to Canada is a multiple-entry visa allowing all Mexican citizens to visit Canada numerous times within the validity period. However, each stay cannot be longer than 6 months at a time.

Making your visa application will take you less than 15 minutes of your time. The processing time may take up to 72 hours. Nonetheless, an average processing time when Mexican citizens use our services is just 16 hours. Some applications are approved within minutes!

Documents to prepare for Mexican citizens

Luckily, visa requirements are straightforward and can be easily organized. As a Mexican citizen, all you need to apply is:

• a valid passport for at least 6 months forth from the planned departure date to Canada
• an active e-mail address to have access to your Canadian eTA. We will send you an e-Visa in a PDF version onto your e-mail address as soon as it's approved.
• a clean criminal record is an essential condition to meet before applying. Your application might be refused if you have some severe offences on your account.

However, in that case, you may have to send some additional documents to your application, and the whole process may be elongated.
