Hello,
My fiance (filipina) and I just heard that Filipinos can now apply for an eTA to visit Canada for up to 6 months, visa free.
We excitedly checked the requirements and they make no sense to me. I require help in understanding the eTA.
Specifically this requirement:
you’ve held a Canadian visitor visa in the past 10 years or currently hold a valid United States nonimmigrant visa
What would be the purpose of an eTA if you have a visitor visa, which allows for much more flexibility?
And, what does the US have to do with visiting Canada? I can't understand the requirement of a US visitor visa to visit Canada.
Thanks in advance
