Accepted answer

Unfortunately changes in Turkish Evisa are not allowed. From the beginning when we apply for an e visa, the website clearly mentions changes will not be permitted. Also from Frequently ask questions confirms the same:

Since you are traveling on Turkish Airlines and you have a layover for 10 hours and 10, you are can simply enjoy complementary hotel accommodation provided by Turkish airlines.

"A complimentary hotel accommodation (maximum 2 nights) will be provided to our valuable passengers when there are more than 10 hours (for economy cabin passengers) and 7 or more hours (for business cabin passengers) waiting during their international connecting flights due to Turkish Airlines’ schedule structure. The first and the connecting flights must be with Turkish Airlines. All passengers must hold a confirmed reservation for the first and the connecting flights."

Moreover if you plan to go outside from Ataturk airport, as a Canadian citizen you are still eligible to apply on arrival provided you meet all the required criterea in Istanbul airport. Also website Ministry Of Foreign Affairs Turkey says

" Fees for e-Visas obtained via the e-Visa website (www.evisa.gov.tr) are lower than the fees for visas obtained upon arrival to Turkish airports."

Therfore there are 2 options available:

  • 1 Either apply for a new evisa and pay another 60 USD
  • 2 Or simply enjoy a complementy hotel stay at Attaturk airport
