Before you set off to catch your flight to Toronto, remember that UK citizens visiting Canada need a visa called an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) to enter the country. It only costs a few Canadian dollars, and lasts for five years (or until your passport expires, whichever comes first). Plus, it can be easily completed online before you go.
