As of February 29, 2024, the Government of Canada has modified the rules for entering the country. Mexicans will be required to obtain a visa or an electronic authorization “eTA” if they have a valid and current non-immigrant visa issued by the government of the United States of America or if they have been holders of a Canadian visa during the last 10 years and are traveling to Canada by plane.

All eTAs issued to Mexican passports before 10:30 p.m. Mexico time on February 29, 2024 will no longer be valid, except for eTAs linked to Mexican passports with a valid Canadian work or study permit.
