Mexican authorities have welcomed the relaxation of entry rules for Mexican citizens traveling to Canada.

The Canadian government has announced in its annual budget that Mexico and three other countries will be included under the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) program.

Mexicans who are in possession of a United States visa or have had a Canadian visa in the past can apply online for the eTA and avoid having to apply for a visa. The option will be available in 2016.

The Foreign Affairs Secretariat welcomed the announcement, which comes six years after Canada decided to require Mexican visitors to obtain a visa.

The new rule is a fundamental step toward elimination of the visa requirement, said the secretariat in a statement, observing that it comes as a result of diplomatic dialogue and the development of a deeper relationship between the two countries in the last two years.
