Entry rules for Nauru passport holders
Nauruan citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to Canada. Applications generally go through a Canada embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Canada immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
