Official sourceircc.canada.ca
Ghana is not visa-exempt for Canada, so travellers from Ghana require a Temporary Resident (Visitor) Visa rather than an eTA, which is only for visa-exempt nationals travelling by air. Specific fees, processing times and document requirements are not detailed on this general overview page.
