South Korean passport holders need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to fly to Canada. Apply at canada.ca/eta for CAD 7 (about $5). Processing is usually within minutes, sometimes up to 72 hours. The eTA is valid for 5 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first, and allows stays of up to 6 months per entry. If entering Canada by land from the US, no eTA is needed.
Passport must be valid for the duration of your stay (Canada has no strict 6-month validity rule, but matching your intended departure date is the minimum). At the border, a CBSA officer determines your length of stay, up to 6 months. Have your return ticket, accommodation details, and proof of funds ready. For stays beyond 6 months, apply for a visitor record extension at least 30 days before your current status expires, online through IRCC.

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.
