The government of canada has announced in the official Canada Gazette that it intends to introduce electronics exempt from the requirement to obtain a temporary resident Visa (TRV) before they may enter Canada.
System which is scheduled to come into full operation on
March 15,2016, is similar to the ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) currently in use by the United States of America.
Individuals will be able to apply for the eTA from August 1, 2015, and the eTA will be required for Visa-exempt travel on and after march 15, 2016. Until now, Visa-exem foreign nationals seeking entry to Canada are not systematically screened for admissibility until they arrive at a Canadian port of entry.
Electronic travel authorization will be valid for a period of five years from the day of issuance to the applicant or until the earliest of the following days:
> The day on which the applicant's passport or other travel document expires.
> The day on which the electronic travel authorization is cancelled, or
>Thedayonwhichanewelectronictravelauthorizationisissuedtotheapplication.
