I am a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. (Green Card holder). What documents do I need to apply for an eTA?

To apply for an eTA, you will need:

• a passport from your country of nationality, and
• proof of U.S. lawful permanent resident status, such as:
• your valid U.S. permanent resident card (Green Card), or
• your valid Alien Documentation Identification and Telecommunications System (ADIT) stamp.

On the eTA application, enter your Green Card number or your ADIT stamp number in the field:

United States lawful permanent resident alien registration card (Green Card) number

What to bring to the airport

The eTA is electronically linked to that passport. There is no need to print anything.

However, to board your flight to Canada you need:

• the passport you used to apply for your eTA (i.e. the valid passport from your country of nationality), and
• proof of U.S. lawful permanent resident status, such as:
• your valid Green Card, or
• your valid ADIT stamp in your passport.

NOTE: If you get a new passport after receiving an eTA, you need to apply for a new eTA.
