We are not sure whether
Donald Trump will be able to go ahead with his plan to implement
ideological tests for immigrants, but Canada is all set and ready to
implement a screening test for a certain group of visitors that are
entering the country.
The rule is applicable on
visitors flying to Canada from visa exempt countries. This rule is
not applicable on countries that need to obtain Canada permanent
residency. This screening test is called the Electronic Travel
Authorization (eTA) and it is mandatory for every person who wants to
visit Canada and is travelling through air.
The objective of this
screening test is to act against terrorism. An individual who wants
to visit Canada and is a resident of visa exempt country than has he
or she has to designate an individual a party of person who can fill
the eTA application on their behalf.
Individuals who are
resident of non visa exempt country will have to apply a proper
tourist visa during which process proper screening is done. This new
rule has been implemented with the objective to put a check on
terrorism that is plaguing the world.
What is an eTA?
The objective of putting
eTA system in place is to make it stress free for visitors coming
from visa exempt countries. During this screening process, a visitor
has to fill out an online application form before he or she takes a
flight to Canada.
The short online form
will ask questions on the medical history, criminal background if any
of the person and history of immigration. The prospective visitor is
also supposed to specify his or her passport number.
An individual has to
apply for permanent residency visa for Canada, in case he or she
wants to settle permanently in Canada. On the other hand, an
individual who is visiting Canada from visa exempt country is only
allowed to stay for a specified period of time.
