Big news for anyone flying to Canada. As and from 15 March next, in fact, passengers without visa travelling to or transiting through Canada must necessarily obtain an electronic permit similar to that required for the USA.

This authorization is called eTA - Electronic Travel Authorization – and will be issued by the Canadian authorities.

For details of the categories of persons involved and how to apply for the eTA, simply log onto the website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta-facts-it.asp.
