In an effort to enhance global ties, Canada has extended its visa-free entry program to include 13 more countries. Citizens from these nations will now only need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) instead of a traditional visa. The eTA can be conveniently obtained through a quick online process.
This development was announced by Sean Fraser, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, who emphasized that the move is intended to both simplify travel procedures and strengthen diplomatic relations.
