I am from a visa-exempt country and want to study in Canada for less than six months. Do I need an eTA?
You need to apply for an eTA if you are from a visa-exempt country and plan to travel to Canada by air.
You don’t need an eTA if you plan to travel by car, bus, train or boat (including cruise ships).
Note: you don’t need a study permit to study in Canada for less than 6 months.
