Canada and the United Kingdom share a deep historical bond through the Commonwealth, yet starting 25 February 2026, Canadians travelling to Britain must hold an approved Apvienot\u0101s Karalistes elektronisk\u0101 ce\u013co\u0161anas at\u013cauja (ETA)<\/strong> before departure. Whether you are visiting London for a weekend getaway, exploring the Scottish Highlands, or attending a business conference in Manchester, this guide covers everything Canadian travellers need to know about the UK ETA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The requirement applies to all Canadian passport holders, regardless of age. Even if you have visited the UK dozens of times before without any paperwork beyond your passport, the rules have changed. Here is your complete guide to staying compliant and avoiding travel disruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Why Canadians Now Need a UK ETA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The UK government introduced the ETA system to strengthen border security by pre-screening travellers before they depart for Britain. Previously, citizens of visa-free countries like Canada could arrive at a UK port of entry and be assessed on the spot. The ETA shifts that assessment to before travel, allowing authorities to identify potential concerns earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For most Canadians, the ETA process is quick, straightforward, and should not cause any issues. The system is comparable to Canada’s own eTA requirement, which international travellers need when flying to Canada.

The fee applies per person, so a Canadian couple would pay \u00a332 (~CAD $58). For families with children, every child \u2014 including infants \u2014 needs their own separate ETA application and fee.
