You can apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) through the Canadian federal government website.

• A valid passport
• As a permanent resident of the United States, you can apply by:
• A valid U.S. Refugee Travel Document (I-571)
• A valid permit to re-enter the United States (I-327)
• A credit card to pay the $ 7 fee

The Canadian government advises you to apply as soon as you know you are traveling.

However, last minute eTAs can be obtained by phone (smartphone). All you need is an internet connection. Email authorization often takes only a few minutes.

There are no requirements to print an eTA. It is linked electronically to your passport or travel document.
