German passport holders do not need a visa for Canada. You do need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before boarding your flight. It costs CAD 7, takes about 5 minutes to fill out online, and is usually approved within minutes. The eTA is valid for 5 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
Each stay is limited to 6 months. Immigration officers at the border decide the exact duration, but 6 months is standard for tourists. Your passport must be valid for the length of your stay. Bring proof of return travel and enough funds for your trip.
The eTA is only required for air travel. If you enter Canada by land or sea from the US, no eTA is needed. Apply at the official Government of Canada site (canada.ca) and avoid third-party sites that charge extra fees.

Ice storms (freezing rain) are more disruptive than snowfall and can halt operations for hours. Buffalo-effect lake-effect snow can bring heavy accumulations with little warning.
Summers are warm and humid (22–30°C) with afternoon thunderstorms that delay departures July–August. Spring and fall are pleasant but unpredictable. YYZ connections in winter require significant schedule buffer. It is Canada's most weather-disrupted major hub.
