IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Canada has removed visa limitations on Bulgarian and Romanian nationals.
What does the change mean? Bulgarian and Romanian nationals no longer need to apply for a visa at a Canadian consulate and may now apply for an electronic travel authorization, or eTA, before traveling to Canada.
Background: Since May, Canada has allowed Bulgarian and Romanian nationals to use the faster eTA only if they held a Canadian visa in the previous 10 years or hold a current and valid U.S. visa. The eTA is now available to all Bulgarian and Romanian citizens.
BAL Analysis: Bulgarian and Romania nationals making business trips to Canada will benefit from the faster eTA procedures.
