Your passport
A valid Luxembourg passport. The eTA is electronically linked to it: if you get a new passport, you must apply for a new eTA.
Health
No vaccination certificate is required to enter Canada from Luxembourg. Travel insurance is still strongly recommended: healthcare is expensive for visitors.
Point to watch
The eTA must be valid when you board the flight to Canada, even if the first leg departs from Luxembourg.
One eTA, whatever the route
A connection changes nothing: a valid eTA is all you need to board for Canada, whether the flight is nonstop or not.
Check the connecting country’s rules
Depending on where you change planes, other formalities may apply. Check with your airline before booking.
Good to know
Travelling to Canada from Luxembourg
Trip idea from Luxembourg
With no nonstop flight, pick your connecting city to suit your route: Montreal for the East and Quebec, Vancouver or Calgary for the West. A multi-city ticket, arriving in the East and leaving from the West, avoids backtracking across this vast country.
Combining with the United States
Many travellers combine Canada and the United States. Luxembourg citizens can generally enter the US with an ESTA, applied for separately. Crossing between Canada and the US by road or train does not require an eTA, but flying back into Canada does.
Electricity
Canada uses type A and B sockets at 120 V. Bring an adapter for European plugs; most phone and laptop chargers accept both voltages, but check hair dryers and heating appliances.
Language
French is an official language of Canada and the majority language in Quebec: in Montreal and Quebec City, you will be served in French. Elsewhere English dominates, but federal services are bilingual.
