The Canada Urgent eTA is often used to describe situations where a traveller needs an eTA shortly before departure. However, travellers should not assume that an urgent application guarantees immediate approval. The safest approach is to apply as soon as you know you will be travelling. Keep your passport ready and enter every detail accurately, particularly the passport number and expiry date. If your flight is approaching and you have not received confirmation, check the status of your application and the latest Canadian guidance rather than submitting repeated applications unnecessarily. Remember that an approved eTA is linked to the passport used in the application, so travelling with a different passport can create additional problems.
