I am a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. (green card holder) and my home country will not issue a passport to me. Can I apply for an eTA using a document other than a passport?

As of April 26, 2022, lawful permanent residents of the United States are exempt from the eTA requirement.

If you’re a lawful permanent resident of the U.S.

If you cannot get a passport from your home country because it doesn’t issue passports to permanent residents of other countries, for all methods of travel to Canada you must bring

one of the following:
- your U.S. Refugee Travel Document (I-571) or
- your Permit to Re-enter the United States (I-327)
and
a valid green card (or equivalent valid proof of status in the United States)
