Mexican passport holders flying to Canada can apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) if they hold a valid US non-immigrant visa or have held a Canadian visa in the past 10 years. The eTA costs CAD 7 and is processed within minutes. It covers air travel only.
If you don't meet those conditions, you need a Canadian visitor visa instead. Approved visitor visas are typically multiple-entry, valid for up to 10 years. The eTA does not apply to land or sea crossings. Those require a visitor visa regardless.
Mexico City Metro Line B runs from Buenavista station to Pantitlán, then transfer to Line 5 to Terminal Aérea (Terminal 1); total about 45–60 minutes (MXN$7). Metrobús Line 4 connects Buenavista to the airport more directly (MXN$12, 30–40 min). Both are safe and reliable for travelers with minimal luggage.Authorized airport taxis (Taxi Ejecutivo or TICO) must be purchased inside the terminal; do not take street taxis.

The 747 Express bus departs from the arrivals level every 20–30 minutes around the clock (CAD $11). It stops at several downtown métro stations, making it convenient for most city-centre destinations. Taxis from the arrivals level charge a flat rate of CAD $45 to downtown; Uber and Lyft are available from a separate ride-share zone.Rental car facilities are located on-site in the terminal complex. During winter, confirm road conditions before driving; Highway 20 can be slow or briefly closed during heavy snowstorms.
Continental climate with dramatic seasonal swings. Summers (June–August) are warm and humid at 24–30°C with occasional thunderstorms. Winters (December–March) are severe, with temperatures regularly dropping to −15°C or colder and heavy snowfall that causes frequent de-icing delays and occasional ground stops.
Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are transitional and relatively pleasant, though spring snowstorms are not unusual. Pack serious winter gear from November through March; ice storms in early spring create particularly difficult travel conditions.
