Canada Details Entry Rules and Warns Against Visa Scams for FIFA World Cup 2026 Visitors

Canada has clarified that visitors attending the FIFA World Cup 2026 will enter as tourists, requiring either a visitor visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA) based on citizenship and travel method. There is no special FIFA World Cup visa, and holding a match ticket does not guarantee entry. Immigration authorities advise early application and warn against fraudulent agents promising guaranteed visas, emphasizing that only FIFA employees with official invitations may have special work permissions during the event.
