Visa Applications / Entry Requirements: Canada
German citizens are required to obtain an entry permit (called eTA) from the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs prior to travel, provided that entry is by air.
An eTA is valid for multiple entries within 5 years or until the passport expires, provided that the passport is valid for less than 5 years, and allows a stay of up to 6 months.
For more information, see “eVisa”.
If you require a visa, you can find information on how to apply for a visa via the Canada Visa Application Center in Düsseldorf or Berlin.
Unfortunately, SERVISUM cannot assist you with regular visa applications. In this case, please contact VFS Global directly.
