Canada has announced a list of 17 countries whose citizens may be eligible to travel to Canada by air with an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) instead of a visitor visa. Eligibility is not automatic; applicants must have held a Canadian visitor visa in the past 10 years or currently hold a valid U.S. non-immigrant visa. They must also be traveling for a temporary stay of up to six months and fly to or transit through a Canadian airport with a valid passport from an eligible country. Those who do not meet all conditions must still apply for a visitor visa.
