→ United Kingdom visa for Canadian citizens
Canadians planning a trip to the United Kingdom will find entry straightforward, though an electronic travel authorization (ETA), considered an e-visa, will soon be a mandatory requirement for short stays. This e-visa allows for both tourist and transit purposes, granting a generous maximum stay of 180 days for exploring the rich history and vibrant culture. With numerous direct flights frequently departing from major Canadian hubs like Toronto and Vancouver to London, crossing the Atlantic is remarkably convenient. Just remember to account for the typical 5-8 hour time difference and the unique experience of driving on the left-hand side of the road when you arrive, a distinct difference from North American travel.
