Passengers who do not require a visa to fly to Canada need to apply for an eTA. This includes passengers travelling on an Irish passport.
To apply, passengers must have a valid passport, a credit card, and an e-mail address. Passengers who arrive at the airport without an eTA should expect to experience delays in their travels, and may not be allowed to board their flight.
For this reason, passengers should apply for their eTA before booking your flight to Canada. Dual citizens, who hold Canadian citizenship and citizenship from a visa-exempt country such as Ireland, cannot apply for an eTA because eTA was set up to screen foreign visitors for admissibility to enter Canada.
If you are a dual Irish-Canadian citizen you cannot apply for an eTA on your Irish passport and must enter Canada on a valid Canadian passport. You may be denied boarding if you attempt to travel using your Irish passport. To prepare for these changes, dual citizens are strongly encouraged to apply for a Canadian passport. This will prevent delays during travel and help ensure dual Canadian citizens are treated according to the rules that apply to Canadian citizens.
Note: As it can take time to get a Canadian passport, IRCC encourages Canadian citizens, including dual citizens, to renew or obtain these documents as soon as they can and before leniency period ends.
