No. If you plan to travel to Canada, you need a valid visitor visa OR a valid eTA.
The one you need depends on:
- the type of travel document you will travel with;
- the country that issued your travel document;
- your nationality; and
- how you will travel to Canada.
If you already have a valid Canadian visitor visa you don't need to apply for an eTA – even if you're eligible for an eTA. You can travel with your visa until it expires.
If you apply for an
initial work or study permit before you travel to Canada, you'll get a visa or an eTA automatically once your work or study permit application is approved. You don't need to apply for a visa or an eTA, or pay extra fees.
