Be extra careful when you enter your passport information.

Canada.
 You may only find out at the airport if you made a mistake.
 You’ll have to reapply for an eTA.
 Depending on your situation, it may not be possible to get an eTA at the last minute.
Tips to enter your passport number correctly:
 Enter the passport number that is at the top of the passport information page (the page with
your photo).
o Do not enter the number on the first page of your passport, or the number at the
bottom of the page with your photo.
 Most passport numbers are 8 to 11 characters long. If the number you plan to enter is much
shorter or longer than this, check that you are using the right number.
 Passport numbers are made up of a combination of letters and numbers. Be extra careful with
the letter O and the number 0, and the letter I and the number 1.
 Don’t enter any special characters (like a hyphen) or spaces.
