Expecting Visitors?
Plan Ahead
Ottawa, ON – With the number
of visitors coming to Canada on the
rise, Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada is launching a
campaign to encourage those who
need a visa to apply early to avoid
disappointment.
In 2016, Canada received
2,674,964 temporary resident
applications – an increase of 15
percent from 2015, and the upward
trend is continuing in 2017.
With a significant number of
people wanting to visit Canada in
the coming months, particularly for
#Canada 150, applying early is more
important than ever. Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship Canada
is reminding travellers to review
Canada’s entry requirements to
help ensure they are prepared for
their trip ahead of time.
Expecting
international
visitors? Help spread the message
by reminding your friends and
family abroad to apply as early as
possible for a visa or electronic
travel authorization (eTA), to help
ensure a smooth and stress-free
travel experience.
Whether they plan to come
to Canada for tourism, business or
studies, planning ahead and getting
the right travel documents is key.
Quote
“It is our goal to ensure that
Canada remains a welcoming
destination for visitors. If you know of
someone coming to Canada for their
holidays, to attend a wedding or visit
family, we encourage you to reach
out to them. Help raise awareness
of the importance of applying early
for any travel documents, to avoid
any last-minute problems.”
– The Honourable Ahmed
Hussen, Minister of Immigration,
Refugees and Citizenship
Quick facts
• Canadian citizens, including
dual citizens, cannot apply for
an eTA or a visa and will need a
valid Canadian passport to fly to
Canada.
• Permanent residents of
Canada are also not eligible to apply
for an eTA or a visa, and, as usual,
must show their permanent resident
card or a permanent resident
travel document when travelling to
Canada.
