Travelers from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon now need electronic travel authorizations (eTAs) to enter Canada by sea, including those arriving by ferry, commercial vessels, and private vessels.

The new eTA requirement does not apply to passengers arriving by cruise ship, seafarers on commercial vessels, U.S. citizens and permanent residents, and French citizens from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon traveling directly to Canada.

Canada has recently strengthened its borders to enhance security while maintaining economic and tourism ties with Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.
