Citizens of two African countries can travel to Canada without applying for a traditional visitor visa if they meet certain eligibility conditions and travel by air.
The two African countries are Morocco and Seychelles, whose citizens may qualify to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) instead of a Canadian visitor visa.
Canada introduced the expanded eTA eligibility in 2023, allowing eligible travellers from selected visa-required countries to use the simpler electronic travel authorization system.
However, the arrangement does not apply automatically to every passport holder from the two countries.
To qualify, travellers from Morocco and Seychelles must have either held a Canadian visitor visa within the previous 10 years or currently hold a valid United States non-immigrant visa.
