Does an Australian citizen need an eTA for Canada for a 15-hour transit layover not leaving the airport?

Everyone transiting at a Canadian airport is subject to Canadian immigration control (except at Vancouver, Toronto Pearson terminal 1 and Calgary, where there are dedicated transit corridors for passengers headed for US Preclearance).

With the exception of a few Asian nationals holding US visas and continuing to the US through these dedicated transit corridors, US citizens, French citizens residing in and travelling from St Pierre & Miquelon, and permanent residents of Canada, everyone changing planes at a Canadian airport needs an eTA or Canadian visa, whichever is applicable to the nationality of the traveller.

In your case, you need an eTA.

Yes. eTA’s are required equally regardless of whether you are entering Canada or just transiting.

Australians do require an ETA.

The process to obtain one is quick and easy and only costs CAN$7. When I applied for one a few weeks ago it was approved instantly.
