Citizens Canada offers an authorization to, on conditions

The table to subsection 7.01(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations: seventeen countries whose citizens need a temporary resident visa or an electronic travel authorization to fly to Canada. It is the middle class of Canada's entry regime and the one that does not appear in any summary of it.

**The authorization is conditional.** Subsection 7.01(2) lets a citizen of these countries apply for one only if they have held a Canadian temporary resident visa at any time in the previous ten years, or hold a valid United States nonimmigrant visa on the day they apply. A first-time traveller satisfies neither and applies for a visa.

**Of this corpus it reaches eleven.** The six the table names outside our coverage are Indonesia, Malaysia, Morocco, the Philippines, the Seychelles and Thailand. The table spells three of the Caribbean members 'St.' rather than 'Saint'.

Where it actually bites

Membership is one thing and what a destination does with it is another. These are the countries covered here that treat these nationalities differently, and on which question.

    About this source

    Canada's consolidated federal statutes and regulations, served whole as plain HTML at a stable address built from the Act's chapter or the regulation's registration number. Each consolidation states the date it is current to and the last amendment applied.

    Standing: Maintains the text in force

    Cannot be cited for: The consolidations are official under the Legislation Revision and Consolidation Act, but the site itself warns that where a consolidation and the original statute differ, the original prevails. The date a page is current to is printed in a side panel our capture does not carry, so a stored reading here shows the text without the line that dates it. Immigration practice in Canada also sits largely in ministerial instructions and programme delivery guidance, which are not law and are not published here, and Quebec selects its own immigrants under an accord this site does not carry.
