The Canadian government has added two African countries to its Visa-Free travel list, excluding Nigeria.
The visa-free travel is extended to 13 countries across Asia, Africa, Central and South America. The authorities announced visa-free for Antigua and Barbuda, St Lucia, Trinidad and Tobago, St Kitts-Nevis, Panama, Argentina, Costa Rice, Uruguay, Morocco, Seychelles, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Thailand and the Philippines.
While North Africa’s Morocco and East Africa’s Seychelles has made the list, Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa did not.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by Sean Fraser, the Canadian Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. The extension applies to travelers from the 13 countries who have either held a Canadian visa in the last 10 years or who currently hold a valid United States non-immigrant visa for up to six months.
This development, according to the government makes it faster and more affordable for travelers to visit Canada for up to six months for business or leisure.
