Therefore, the honorable Sean Fraser the minister of Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship announced today that 13 more countries will now qualify for visa-free travel to Canada. It was announced today that any citizen of these 13 countries who held a Canadian visa in last 10 years or who currently hold a valid United States Non-Immigrant visa can apply for eTA instead of a visa to travel to Canada by air. 13 countries that will benefit from this announcement are as below:
