No visa, but an eTA

eTA required180 days

United Kingdom passport holders can visit Canada without a visa for up to 180 days, but must get an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) online before they travel.

Not a visa, but an approval you apply for online and must have before you travel, like the US ESTA or the UK ETA.
