Check eTA application status

The final determination and issuance of the eTA are made solely by Canadian immigration authorities (IRCC).

During the review process of your eTA application by IRCC, the status updates displayed here are retrieved directly from official government communication channels.

eTA approval times by the Canadian immigration authorities (IRCC) can vary depending on their procedures; most applicants receive instant approval, while others may wait a few hours, up to 72 hours, or in some cases, several days. We will keep you informed about any unexpected delays or updates.

Once IRCC makes a final determination, you will be able to view the outcome on this page and download the approved eTA details in PDF format, which are provided by the Canadian immigration authorities (IRCC). Additionally, you will be able to independently verify the final status of your eTA through the official Government of Canada eTA Status Check Tool.
