February 8, 2017- With the enforcement of the Electronic Travel Authorization ("eTA"), passengers continue to experience problems when trying to board their flights. The eTA is required for all visa-exempt foreign nationals (except American citizens) that are flying or transiting through Canada. Affected travelers who are already authorized to work or study in Canada are encouraged to apply for an eTA prior to boarding their flight back to Canada.
 
We strongly recommend that travelers apply for an eTA at least 72 hours before flying to or through Canada. An eTA is valid for five years or until the traveler's passport expires, whichever comes first.
