Wrong Passport Expiration Date on Canadian ETA

taco_truck_tom

Got my Canadian ETA Approved But realized I made a mistake in the passport issuance and expiration date (got the dates mixed up) Will I be denied entry if I use the approved ETA in flying to Canada? Or will it be wiser for me to re-apply instead?

Great question — answering as the UphillTech team:

The Canadian eTA is checked automatically/electronically when you attempt to check-in for your flight to Canada. If the details of the passport being used do not match a valid eTA, then you will not be able to check-in. You can attempt to contact Canadian immigration and see if they will change the date for you (there is a 'Contact Us' link on their website), however it's probably just quicker/easier to simply re-apply with the correct details.
