BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) — Canada has introduced a revision to its new entry requirements for all visa-exempt travellers seeking to enter the country by air.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade here said it has been advised that, effective March 15, 2016, it will become mandatory for Barbadians and other Caribbean nationals travelling to Canada to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA).

It said the application must be submitted online and will be available from August 1, 2015.
