Getting to Vancouver
Flights from Buenos Aires (EZE) to Vancouver (YVR) typically connect through the US — total journey 16–20 hours. Book well in advance; demand from Argentine fans will be extremely high.
Entry requirement: eTA required. Apply at canada.ca/en/immigration well before your trip.
Staying connected
Skip your Argentine carrier's international roaming — costs in Canada are very high. An eSIM gets you full 5G data from the moment you land at YVR, with no surprises.
