If you’re from an eTA-required country
If you’re the family member of a Ukrainian national and you’re from an eTA-required country, you need to apply and pay for an eTA to travel to Canada.
However, you can still benefit from the CUAET measures, including the option to apply
• to extend your stay in Canada as a visitor for up to 3 more years or until your passport expires
• for a fee-exempt work permit when you arrive in Canada
• for a fee-exempt study permit (if applicable)
After you arrive in Canada, follow the instructions for those inside Canada for more information.
How to apply for an eTA
Documents to prove your family relationship
Documents you can use to prove your family relationship include
• a marriage certificate or proof of common-law status (documents showing a shared address)
• a birth certificate
• other documents that show an immediate family connection, for example
◦ correspondence from us showing a spousal sponsorship application in progress
◦ documents that show a shared home address
When you travel, bring documents that prove your family relationship. When you arrive at the border, you need to show these documents to the border services officer.
The documents above are examples only. An officer may ask for other documents.
