Moroccans can travel to Canada by obtaining an electronic travel authorization starting Wednesday, announced the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, Sean Fraser on Tuesday.

The Canadian Ministry of Immigration added thirteen new countries to the list of countries allowed to enter Canadian territory without a visa.

Eligible travelers include passport holders from the Philippines, Morocco, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Costa Rica, Panama, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Seychelles, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, and Uruguay.

 Travelers from these countries who have had a Canadian visa in the past 10 years or currently hold a valid U.S. visa issued for purposes other than immigration can apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) instead of a visa if they are traveling to Canada by air. 

Fraser said that Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have worked to make the pre-travel screening process easier, faster, and more affordable. He also emphasizes that this decision will enable IRCC to process visa applications more efficiently. 

Travellers are encouraged to visit the website Canada.ca/eTA to check if they are eligible for an eTA and how to apply for it.
