Entering Canada
On this page
By air
Whether you’re returning home or visiting, you’ll follow the same 3 steps to enter Canada:
Step 1. Pre-arrival: Use Advance Declaration or complete a Declaration Card
If you’re arriving by air at one of Canada’s participating international airports, you can save time at the border.
Where do you go through customs when you have a connecting flight
Submit your customs and immigration declaration online using Advance Declaration up to 72 hours before you arrive in Canada.
If you choose not to submit your declaration in advance, you can complete it at an airport kiosk or eGate.
If you’re landing at an airport without kiosks or eGates, you’ll receive a Declaration Card on board the aircraft or other conveyance. Read the instructions and complete the card before you arrive. Have it ready to present to Canadian officials at the airport, along with your identification and other travel documents.
If you're travelling with children, please have their documentation ready as well.
If using a Declaration Card, detach and discard the instructions. To help us serve you faster, do not fold the card.
