Before you start

To apply you will need:

## UK ETA Reviews in Canada

### *---- "Slow"
The app doesn’t allow users to create multiple entries for a family and pay once - instead you must repeatedly enter the same address and payment information for each family member, one by one, paying separately each time - so inefficient! When trying to type in fields you must wait at each new screen for several seconds - painful when by the third or fourth family member one can anticipate what to type but the field isn’t yet open to you.  Canadians are charged in US funds which is asinine.
-- Cdn Runner Girl, 2025-06-07

### **--- "Payment currency is wonky"
After spending 10 minutes fiddling with your passport and scanning your face (requiring multiple tries) it asks you which country you’re applying from to pay and Canada makes you pay in USD. I’d rather not but since it’s right at the end and sunk cost fallacy has kicked in (in addition to there not seeming to be an alternative) I paid but it left a bad taste in my mouth
-- Gatchpeace, 2025-06-03

### ***-- "Currency error"
The app asked for location of applicant so knows I’m in Canada but charges me in US dollars?  Now I have two foreign exchange charges on my credit card. UK to US to CDN. You need to fix this asap!
-- FGNAS, 2025-05-29

### *---- "Terrible app"
Typical gov app. Missing many prompts, insert same info multiple times, and sometimes it does not allow you to input your credit card data. 
Worst part, is that you can only do one application per payment, family of 6, 6 credit card transactions.
-- kaptain ku, 2025-05-13

### ***-- "Should charge in GBP"
I think it’s idiotic that Canadians get charged in USD. Just charge my credit card in GBP without any silly interim currency charge.
-- MyNameDoesntWorkAsANickName, 2025-05-02

### *---- "Failure of an app"
Millions of dollars spent on this web app that fails regularly and makes you retune and reenter 100% of all the info you just spent the last 10 minutes entering. 

All for a 16 pound per person money grab to enter the uk. 

Save yourself the headache and do this process on the web.
-- Pixaholic, 2025-04-20

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
It literally doesn’t work
-- capprev, 2025-04-17

### ***** "Straightforward, Quick, And Easy"
I found this app to be really quite straightforward, and easy to use, and had an exceptionally quick turnaround time. Excellent.
-- Aeroplanext, 2025-04-15

### *---- "Garbage programming"
I tried 20 times to scan the code. No luck. 
I’m in canada but had to pay in US dollars!!!  We are not a small country.
-- dogdame, 2025-04-10

### **--- "Gramma Joe"
First just let me say I find it disheartening to be paying a fee to visit the country of my ancestors. I’m a Canadian born member of this commonwealth and I’m willing to apply for a visa but now I must pay for this visa and I must pay in USA $. Oh the tea party in Boston harbour really was for nothing.
-- NnooJo, 2025-04-09

### *---- "Racist to Asians and USD Charge"
The app kept telling me to open my eyes even though I did everything correctly for the photos. I gave up and just submitted it. Hopefully I don’t get charged twice. Also they charge Canadians in USD.
-- Orca_chow, 2025-04-08

### *---- "Charging Canadians USD"
You’d think Commonwealth nations could pay in their respective currencies, or at the very least GBP, but nope! If you select Canada as your location, you get charged USD. Make it make sense.
-- dominiklee, 2025-04-07

### *---- "USD is not the continental currency"
It’s fine. Had a couple of goes at it since it somehow truncated my four-letter last name.  One star for currency payment requirement of USD for “North America.”  Fine if you want to reduce costs (and possibly errors from applicants) by limiting currency payment selections but, why not have the option to at least choose GBP or USD? UK wanted to keep the Pound back in the day but now they’re chasing the Yankee Dollar?
-- inefficiencyatwork, 2025-04-06

### **--- "Bugs and US currency"
Had to delete and reinstall the app as it wouldn’t stop buffering after my passport photo didn’t go through. I expected an official app not to have problems like this. Also, why did I have to pay in USD after being asked what country I reside in??? I’m Canadian and part of the Commonwealth, not American!
-- Travel2026, 2025-04-05

### *---- "Incorrect fee charge"
The price should be £10..so how do I end up with $110 Canadian when it should be $18??!
-- taz35, 2025-04-03

### **--- "Somewhat buggy, charged me in USD"
I had to take several runs at it to get the passport photos to work (well lit, on a plain dark background), then it errored out upon the photo being “upside down” (there is no indication which way to turn your phone to take the photo). The chip scanning worked well and was pretty cool! Unfortunately, my experience concluded on a bit of a sour note as the app charged me in USD when I put in a home address in Canada. Come on, UK, we’re supposed to be a commonwealth country - USD is an extra charge AND it’s insulting!
-- MimiTheKat, 2025-04-01

### *---- "You’re a Canadian applying from Canada? You must want to use US dollars to pay."
Given recent events, being told to use US dollars to do business between Canada and the U.K. is very offensive.  
Do better.
-- nojunktoday, 2025-03-30

### ***-- "Not happy to pay in USA $"
Went very smoothly but I agree about the payment. Request to pay in USA dollars for Canadians is ridicules. Please fix this immediately. We are not 51 state and never will be. 
Give us some respect.
-- Ela@4, 2025-03-28

### ***** "Easy to use!"
The instructions were very clear and concise. The entire process is quick and easy if you have your passport handy and have access to a light coloured wall and even lighting for pictures of yourself. From start to finish, completing the application took me 8 minutes. Even though I was told that the application review would take up to three business days, I was approved within a minute.
-- Logo Jo, 2025-03-28

### ***-- "Canadians charged in USD?!?!"
No way. Somebody dropped the ball on that. Waiting to see if I have now had to pay two conversion fees. Try a little bit harder.
-- Sturgian., 2025-03-24
