13 Countries Added to Visa-Free Travel to Canada

[ad_1]

Individuals who want to travel, work, or reunite with loved ones often choose Canada as a top destination. The electronic travel authorization (eTA) program has been expanded to include 13 more nations, according to Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship.

Which Countries Have Been Added to the eTA Program?

Travelers from these countries can now choose to use an eTA instead of a visa when flying to Canada if they have previously held a Canadian visa within the last ten years or presently have a valid United States non-immigrant visa. As of right now, citizens of these countries that qualify for this program may make use of it:

  • Antigua and Barbuda
  • Argentina
  • Costa Rica
  • Morocco
  • Panama
  • Philippines
  • St. Kitts and Nevis
  • St. Lucia
  • St. Vincent and the Grenadines
  • Seychelles
  • Thailand
  • Trinidad and Tobago
  • Uruguay

Introducing visa-free air travel will streamline and simplify the process for thousands of visitors, enabling them to stay in Canada for up to six months for business or leisure purposes. This initiative will also bolster Canada’s economy by promoting tourism, international business, and fostering stronger ties with these countries while prioritizing the safety of Canadian citizens.

Additionally, this decision will lighten the load on Canada’s visa processing system, enabling the quicker processing of visa applications to the benefit of all applicants.
