Canadians can travel visa-free to many countries, but increasingly an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) is required to enter a country. It is usually done through a website or an app on a smart phone. Sometimes these can be completed on arrival (as I did in Taiwan), but it is best to do in advance. Typically this is to be done within 72 hours of arrival but no earlier. Here is a list of countries requiring ETAs as of January 1, 2026.
Asia
Bahrain, India, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Malaysia, Maldives, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan,
