Canada has launched a pilot program offering digital visitor visas to a limited number of Moroccan nationals, as Ottawa moves to modernise immigration services and improve customer experience.
Under the trial, some Moroccan applicants who receive a visitor visa may also be issued a digital version alongside the physical sticker placed in their passport, the Canadian government said.
Officials said the pilot aims to collect user feedback and test whether digital visas are compatible with airlines and other third party systems before wider deployment.
Canada said digital visas are designed to speed up travel, enhance security and reduce the need to send passports by post, while allowing travellers to share only necessary information.
The government also said the move could cut printing and mailing costs and make visa programs more efficient.
Separately, Canada reminded travellers that some Moroccan nationals may qualify for an electronic travel authorization instead of a visa when flying to the country.
