The Canada eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) program was approved in 2012 and became mandatory for Cayman Islands citizens in 2016. It’s a system that ties in with existing immigration databases and other security data to provide a new screening tool for travelers flying to or transiting through Canadian airports.  Citizens of the Cayman Islands and other European Union members must submit an electronic visa application before boarding an aircraft bound for Canada, even if they are simply passing through on their way to another foreign destination. The eTA is linked electronically to the traveler’s passport and is valid for up to five years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. Cayman Islands nationals can apply for a Canada eTA to enter Canada for short-term tourist, business, transit, or medical purposes. The eTA program was implemented in 2016 to check visitors arriving from outside in response to the global surge in terrorist activity, to safeguard Canada's borders, and to give real-time data on all passengers entering Canada.
