See table of contents

Below is the link to the official website of IRCC, hence you can be confident na it is, no doubt, legit.
Eligible travellers from 13 more countries now qualify for visa-free travel to Canada
Are all Filipino's eligible?
The answer is NO.
Travellers from these countries who have either held a Canadian visa in the last 10 years or who currently hold a valid United States non-immigrant visa can now apply for an eTA instead of a visa when travelling to Canada by air.
In tagalog,
sabi ni google, Karapat-dapat ka lang kung dati ka nang may Canadian visa sa nakaraang sampong taon, o may valid US visan.
Hence, if you have an expired visitors visa to Canada, you don't need to apply for a new one.
Please note: eTAs can only be used to fly to Canada. Travellers will need a visitor visa when entering Canada by car, bus, train or boat, including a cruise ship.
If you never had a Canadian visa before, then here's how you can apply for visitors visa.
Updates
Though the IRCC website says na the opportunity to apply for an eTA is limited to previous visitor visa holders, we have members who confirmed that they were successful in applying for an eTA as per below
Temporary Foreign Worker Holder
The next question is, eligible din ba ang seafarers who has a C1/D visa?
Yes and please see below success story.
Nag-back Out na Employer
The news release never mention na this is limited to previous visitors visa holder only. This means hope!
Travellers from these countries who have either held a Canadian visa in the last 10 years or who currently hold a valid United States non-immigrant visa can now apply for an eTA instead of a visa when travelling to Canada by air.
UNFORTUNATELY, on another webpage in the IRCC website, it says:
Reference below:
I also hate the news release, bat ang daming kulang and mis-leading statements. This happened with the eligibility ng OWP for Teer4&5 din last January 2023.
So many confusion and it's frustrating, but as I mentioned above, previous TFW were also able to successfully apply for an eTA.
ON the otherhand, ask yourself kung sigurado ba talaga kayong tutuloy pa rin kayo ng Canada na walang employer. What are the risks, and anoung gagawin nyo dito? Please read this guide below.
