Message from the Government of Canada about lifting the electronic travel authorization  requirement for lawful permanent residents of the United States

PROTECTED B

Name:  ZHANG SAN

eTA Number : J888888123

Your Canadian electronic travel authorization (eTA), as identified above, was issued based on your indication that you are a lawful permanent resident of the United States (U.S.). As of 08:00 a.m. EST on April 26th, 2022, Canadian entry requirements for lawful permanent residents of the U.S. (USLPRs) have changed and valid USLPR card holders no longer require an eTA. As a result of this policy change, your eTA document has been invalidated and can no longer be used for travel to or through a Canadian airport.

If you are a representative, we recommend that you share this with your clients.

To travel to or through Canada, you must follow the instructions below.

All modes of travel (air, land, rail, marine)

You must be prepared to provide your valid passport or other travel documents and proof of your valid status as a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. to airline staff at check in and to a Canada Border Services Agency  border services officer when you arrive at a Canadian port of entry. These documents will be used to determine admissibility to Canada as you no longer require an eTA. For documentation considered acceptable as proof of your valid status as a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., please consult the section Required documents for lawful permanent residents of the U.S. to travel to or through Canada on page 2.

If you are a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. who is already in Canada:

Visitors

If you are already in Canada, you can continue to stay and travel within Canada for the length of your authorized period of stay. If you plan to leave Canada for any reason or any length of time, you will need to provide proof of your valid status as a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. and a valid identification document or documents to re-enter Canada.

Students and temporary workers

If you have a study or work permit, your permit is still valid. You can continue to stay and travel within Canada according to the validity and conditions of your permit. If you plan to leave Canada for any reason or any length of time, you will need to provide proof of your valid status as a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. and a valid identification document or documents to re-enter Canada, along with your permit.

For more information on this change, please consult our website.

Sincerely,

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

科领出国已就以上信息通知持有美国绿卡的客户，告知赴加将不再需要申请ETA，仅需要携带有效护照以及美国绿卡（或其他美国永居证明文件）即可，取消ETA确认是个好消息，过往我们不时收到客户求助，因为持有美国绿卡赴美时，航班在加拿大转机，因为忘记或不知道申请ETA，在机场无法打印登机牌，现在起，将不再有此类情况发生。不过，如果持有香港护照，入境加拿大，或是在加拿大转机是必须要申请ETA，不然同样无法顺利办理乘机手续。
