Great news for Mexican nationals wanting to visit Canada. As of December 1, 2016, Mexican nationals who wish to travel to Canada are no longer required to obtain a Visa prior to their travels. The Trudeau government seeks to create closer ties to Mexico by lifting the requirement and it is ultimately expected to improve Canada’s overall competitiveness as a tourism destination, and to encourage travel between the two countries.
As Canada and Mexico are each other’s third largest two-way trading partners, the improvement of bilateral relations is expected from the lifting of the visa requirement, and to facilitate increased trade and business opportunities.
Mexican nationals who plan to travel to or transit through Canada must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) prior to boarding their flight. Anyone with a Visa already is not required to obtain an eTA. The cost to apply for an eTA is $7.00 CDN. To apply for an eTA click here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp
