Visa & Entry

Swiss passport holders do not need a visa to enter Canada for stays up to 6 months. An Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is required before flying to Canada. Apply online at the official Government of Canada site for CAD 7. Processing takes minutes in most cases and the eTA is valid for 5 years or until the passport expires. The eTA is only needed for air travel. Land or sea crossings from the US do not require one.

Verify entry requirements with official sources before travel.
Getting from YYZ

UP Express from T1 to Union Station runs every 15 minutes (25 min, CAD $12.35). The station is inside T1; take the LINK train from T3 arrivals first (free, 3 min). Taxis to downtown use a meter; expect CAD $55–75.Ride-hail (Uber, Lyft) picks up at the designated Ground Transportation area; follow signs. TTC buses run to the Kipling and Bloor–Yonge subway stations (CAD $3.30) for a longer but cheaper option. Car rental agencies are at T1 and accessible from T3 via the LINK train.

Toronto Climate

Humid continental climate. Winters are harsh (−10 to −1°C, December–March) with significant snowfall. Pearson closes runways for plowing and de-icing regularly, causing wave delays. 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.

Check current weather forecasts before travel.
