Romanian and Bulgarian citizens no longer need a Temporary Resident Visa to travel to Canada, as of 9 a.m. on December 1, 2017.<\/p>\n

However, similar to other visa-exempt travellers, all Romanian and Bulgarian citizens travelling to Canada by air will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) prior to boarding a flight to Canada. This applies to all Romanian and Bulgarian citizens flying to or transiting through Canada.<\/p>\n

Romanians and Bulgarians who already have a valid Canadian visa can continue to use it for travel to or transit through Canada until it expires and are not required to apply for a new eTA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Canadian pre-approval system\u00a0is only\u00a0required for Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)-exempt individuals seeking to enter Canada by air to visit on a temporary basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Applying for an eTA is relatively simple. Applicants\u00a0are asked to fill out some personal information and answer a few basic questions relating to criminality or medical issues.<\/p>\n
