The new policy took effect on May 26, according to a statement posted by the Government of Canada's website.
Under the updated rules, Malaysian and Indonesian citizens who have held a Canadian temporary resident visa (TRVs) within the past 10 years, or who currently possess a valid United States non-immigrant visa, may qualify to apply for an eTA when traveling to or transiting through Canada by air.
Travelers who already hold valid Canadian TRVs may continue using them until they expire.
The policy change forms part of Canada's broader strategy to strengthen ties with the Indo-Pacific region through closer trade, investment, and economic cooperation.
The eTA system allows Canadian authorities to conduct pre-travel screening for air passengers before departure.
