Ultimas noticias: A partir de las 11:30 pm (EST) del día de hoy, 29 de febrero de 2024, los ciudadanos mexicanos deberán solicitar una visa de visitante canadiense. Los ciudadanos mexicanos que todavía son elegibles para aplicar a una autorización electrónica de viaje (“eTA” – electronic travel authorization) y se eximen de solicitar una visa de visitante son aquellos con pasaportes mexicanos válidos, que deseen entrar a Canadá por vía aérea, y que cumplan con alguna de las siguientes condiciones:
• Tener una visa de no inmigrante válida de Estados Unidos.
• Haber tenido una visa canadiense en los últimos 10 años.
Esta política no afectará a los titulares de permisos de trabajo y permisos de estudio vigentes, siempre y cuando sus eTAs existentes permanezcan válidas y cumplan con las condiciones para mantener sus permisos. Los visitantes mexicanos que ya estén en Canadá con sus eTAs pueden permanecer en Canadá durante el tiempo que les hayan autorizado, siempre y cuando no salgan de Canadá y deseen regresar. Si llegan a salir del país, deben tramitar una visa o una nueva eTA si cumplen con las excepciones.

The Canadian Rockies are near and dear to my heart. I do not work in hospitality, but I have lived in tourism destinations my entire life and work with many tourism and hospitality employers throughout BC and Alberta. I recognize the importance of our hospitality and tourism industry in Canada and the workers that show up to provide an exceptional visitor experience for our visitors. It is an industry that has long been overlooked by formal immigration programs in Canada, yet that is starting to change!

Excitedly, in 2022, Alberta alone saw $10.7 billion in tourism spending, representing an increase of $600 million from 2019 levels. In order to support this economic growth the province has launched a new immigration stream to attract a skilled workforce to the province’s tourism and hospitality industry.

This is great news for the hospitality and tourism industry in Alberta. With over 32 million visitors a year, being a multi-billion-dollar industry, it is time for programs to be tailored to these important workers who keep the industry running.

If you work in tourism and hospitality or run a business in a tourism destination in BC or Alberta, contact us today to talk about how we can help you address staffing shortages and assist current employees in gaining PR in Canada.
