Canada's new travel restrictions coming into force March 15

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, formerly Citizenship and Immigration Canada) will be mandating the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) pre-entry requirement on March 15. In two months, all visa-exempt foreign nationals, except US citizens, will need the eTA to enter Canada by air. This will also affect visa-exempt temporary residents currently residing in Canada.

A Tax Alert prepared by Egan LLP, and attached below, provides additional details.
