Canadian ordinary (personal) passport holders require a visa for Turkey. The visa can be obtained either from this Embassy or at the point of entry in Turkey if the purpose of the trip is pleasure, business or attending a meeting. Visa fee at the point of entry is US$ 60.00 or Euro 45 (cash) for Canadian ordinary passport holders traveling to Turkey for pleasure, business or attending a meeting. This visa allows the holder to stay in Turkey for a maximum period of 90 days and is valid for multiple entries during that period. It is a quicker and easier way for Canadian travelers to obtain a tourist visa to Turkey.
Citizens of some countries have the possibility to obtain their visas at the Turkish border gates (sticker visa). Please click on here to see the list of countries whose nationals are allowed to obtain their visas at the border gates.
For cruise passengers: Those cruise passengers coming to a Turkish port of call by a cruise ship and thereafter leave Turkey by the same cruise ship for another country, are exempt from visa for a maximum period of 72 hours (with the permission given by the local security authorities).
The passengers of cruise ships are allowed to enter and stay overnight in the port cities of Turkey upon the permission given by local border police authorities. These passengers are not required to obtain an entry visa to Turkey.
OBTAINING VISA TO TURKEY AT
THE EMBASSY OF THE REPUBLIC OF TURKEY IN OTTAWA
Due to the high volume of applications for Turkish visas, the Consular Section is not in a position to provide a specific duration for visa processing. Therefore we strongly suggest that you apply for visas, well before (e.g. one month) the planned visit to Turkey. As the visas are valid for 3 months from the date of issue, applications must be made no earlier than 3 months before your planned traveling date to Turkey. If you are the citizen of a country for whom visa can be issued at the point of entry in Turkey, it is highly recommended to obtain visa at the point of entry

also can obtain a visa from the Turkish Embassy in Ottawa at a cost of CAD$
75.00 for a single entry or CAD$ 178.00 for multiple entries both valid for 90

applied per person, not per passport, and applies to children listed on parent's
