They are electronic authorizations that are less bureaucratic than regular visas to enter these countries, each one with its respective rules.

ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) Canada

Since May 1st, 2017 some Brazilian citizens became eligible to request an Electronic Travel Authorization, instead of a visa, to fly to or transit in a Canadian airport.

Because of this initiative, citizens of Brazil who had a Canadian visa issued in the past 10 years, or who have a valid non-immigrant American visa, are eligible to request an ETA.

The application process is simple and has a low cost, and in most of the cases can be granted in a few minutes. However, some applications may take some days to be processed, so we recommend applying for the ETA before purchasing your air ticket. The authorization is valid for up to 5 years and allows people to travel to Canada as many times as they want for short periods (normally up to 6 months) to study, do business or transit through a Canadian airport.
