On Dec. 1, 2016 Canada removed visa requirements for Mexican nationals, allowing them to travel to Canada without first having to apply and be approved by IRCC. Great news for Mexicans with family or friends in Canada as well as those wanting to experience our great country!

Mexican citizens need to be aware that as visa-exempt foreign nationals they will still require a $7 Electronic Travel Authorization to visit, and in order to study or work in Canada a permit prior to arriving must be applied for and approved. The eTA is a simple, quick process to complete online and is linked to the traveler’s passport.
