Canadian Authorities Have Lost Tract of 400 Mexican Hit Men and Drug Traffickers
05/27/2019
Shortly after Trudeau was elected prime minister, the federal government stopped requiring Mexican citizens to apply for a visa before visiting Canada in 2016. Currently, anybody hoping to enter Canada through an airport must attain an Electronic Travel Authorization, which costs about $7 and takes a few minutes to complete. Stringent visa requirements for Mexico were implemented by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2009.
Despite calls from officials warning the federal
government that the visa lift would result in criminals taking
advantage of the situation, the Trudeau government carried on with the reform.
