CANADA VISA FOR BULGARIAN CITIZENS

Los Angeles, California, 23rd February 2024, Bulgarian citizens who travel to Canada for a short period of time must obtain a Canadian eTA visa. Additional modes of transportation necessitate a separate travel authorization. In 2015, the Canadian government introduced an online visa waiver service for qualifying countries. Bulgarian citizens do not require a visa to enter Canada for tourism, business, or transit. It only applies to international flights arriving in Canada. Bulgarian citizens can enter Canada by obtaining a Canadian Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). The Canadian eTA is a five-year online travel permit that allows Bulgarians to visit Canada on multiple occasions for stays of up to six months. The eTA is electronically linked to Bulgarian visitors’ passports and cannot be transferred to a new travel document. This means that if a passport with an approved eTA expires before 5 years, your travel authorization will also expire. Bulgarians who confirm that they meet the requirements can start the Canadian eTA application process online. The application form is a simple questionnaire that takes less than 30 minutes to complete.

CANADA VISA FOR MEXICAN CITIZENS

According to Canadian visa regulations, individuals holding Mexican passports who wish to travel to Canada by air are required to obtain a Canadian eTA. In 2015, the Canadian government implemented the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) system for visitors from more than 50 countries, including Mexico. If Mexican citizens possess a valid passport issued by one of these countries, they do not need a regular visa to enter Canada. However, they must acquire an electronic travel authorization (eTA) to apply for visas online in order to visit Canada. The Canadian eTA for Mexicans is valid for a maximum stay of 6 months and can be utilized for various purposes, such as transiting through Canada to another country, vacationing in Canada, or engaging in business activities, including attending meetings. The Canadian eTA is valid for a period of 5 years from the date of issue or until the traveler’s Mexican passport expires (whichever comes first). This means that visitors to Mexico do not have to reapply every year, as is the case with traditional visas. Mexican citizens can enter and exit Canada as many times as they wish as long as they do so within the validity period of their eTA. Applicants do not need to visit the nearest Canadian embassy, submit documents, or attend an in-person interview. Everything is done online, and it takes most applicants about 15 minutes to complete the application.

Documents required for the Canada Visa

  • A valid Mexico-issued passport

  • A current email address to receive notifications and confirmation of the Canadian eTA

  • A valid form of payment (credit card or debit card) to pay for the eTA fees.

  • A device with internet access, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop in order to fill out and submit their application.

CANADA VISA FOR TOURISTS

Every year, thousands of travelers and tourists from all over the world visit Canada, whether to see friends and family or to simply enjoy the country’s natural beauty. The Canadian government has developed a quick and simple online application process for an electronic Travel Authorization or Canada Visa, making visiting Canada easier than ever. Canada offers two types of visas: single-entry and multiple entry. You can enter Canada for up to six months with a simple visa application called the Canada Visit Visa. A tourist visa does not allow you to work in Canada, but it does allow you to travel within the country for tourism and leisure. Foreign nationals with single-entry visas are only permitted one entry into Canada. For the duration of the visa, a multiple-entry visa entitles the holder to make as many entrances and exits as desired. Online, on paper, or in person at the Visa Application Center (VAC), applicants who need a visitor visa to enter Canada can submit their applications.

CANADA VISA FOR SOUTH KOREAN CITIZENS

In 2015, the Canadian government launched the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) system for passengers from over 50 countries, including South Korea. Only air travelers may apply for a Canada electronic travel authorization. The South Korean electronic travel authorization (eTA) is designed for tourists, business travelers, Canadians traveling to another country, and those seeking medical treatment or counseling. South Korean passport holders are eligible for the Visa Waiver Program in Canada. This means that you won’t need a visa to visit Canada. The eTA was first used by Canada’s Immigration Service in 2015 to assess the eligibility of foreign visitors to Canada and expedite the eTA application process. The Canadian eTA is available to citizens of South Korea. As a replacement for the visa, Canada has introduced the Electronic Travel Authorization (Canadian eTA online). The eTA allows Canadian authorities to pre-screen foreign travelers and makes it easier for South Koreans to enter Canada. Travelers may stay up to 6 months during each trip and may enter Canada multiple times within a 5-year period. The Immigration Service will record the length of stay when the traveler arrives at the border and the expiry date will be written on the passport. The eTA application for South Korean citizens must be submitted at least 72 hours prior to travel to ensure the document is processed and the eTA is issued before you travel.
