Canada and the French overseas collectivity of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon share strong travel, tourism and economic ties, particularly in Atlantic Canada. We work closely to support safe, efficient travel while strengthening the security and integrity of our shared travel routes. As of 1:00 a.m. Eastern Time on June 5, 2026, most visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to Canada by boat from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon will need an electronic travel authorization (eTA). This applies to travellers arriving by ferry, private boats and commercial vessels. Through ongoing monitoring of migration patterns, Canada identified that some people were attempting to bypass Canada’s pre-arrival screening requirements by travelling by boat between Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon and Fortune, Newfoundland and Labrador.
