To arrive at Canada Now it is possible. The government of the North American country has indicated that it will eliminate the visa so that citizens of certain Latin American countries can freely access it. Unfortunately, Ecuador is not part of this group. The winners were Argentina, Uruguay, Costa Rica and Panama.
According to CNN, this is part of the electronic travel update program. The Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs made it public in a press release on Tuesday, June 6.
Citizens of these countries who will have access to this benefit will be those who have obtained a visa from the Canadian country within the last 10 years or who have a valid non-resident visa from the United States. This would make it easier to obtain the document for a period of six months.
According to the Canadian Embassy in Ecuador, Ecuadorian citizens wishing to travel to the North American country will need a visitor’s visa (also known as a temporary resident visa) if they wish to visit Canada for tourism purposes, family or business.
To obtain this visa, they must meet certain conditions and submit an application to the embassy either canadian consulate closer.
On the other hand, if the purpose of the visit to Canada is to study or work, Ecuadorian citizens will need to apply for a student visa or a work visa, respectively, and meet the specific requirements for each type of visa.
