Almost everyone travelling to Canada will require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), even if they don't need a visa.
The application process is generally past, but can take up to three days in some cases, so please make sure to apply for it sufficiently early before your trip.
You can find out here if you need an eTA and get to the official page: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eta/important-reminders-apply-eta.html
Please note that there are several fraudulent web pages pretending to be eTA application sites, so it is highly recommended to use the official web page linked above.

Certain countries do not require a VISA including EU and EEA (European economic Area) nationals. In general, foreign travelers require a visa for stays in Canada.
