Travelers who hold a temporary passport or travel documents with a different status, such as refugees or temporary residents, will\u00a0need to apply for a Canadian visa at the embassy\u00a0unless they also hold a passport from another visa-exempt country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All eTA applicants must be over 18 at the time of application.&nbsp;<strong>Minors will need a parent or guardian to complete the application on their behalf<\/strong>.
