ETIAS will be operational in the last quarter of 2026. [...] The European Union will communicate the precise start-up date of ETIAS several months before its launch,” states the official European Union website, updated on Monday.

On social networks, several Canadians planning to visit the Old Continent in the near future have been asking questions in recent weeks about how and when this new measure will come into effect.

Designed to strengthen European border security, ETIAS was initially scheduled to be implemented as early as 2021. However, this step has been repeatedly postponed.

When it comes into force, this authorization will be required by 30 countries that are members - or in the process of becoming members - of the Schengen area. It will enable visitors already exempt from visa requirements to travel freely in the European countries concerned for a maximum of 90 days, within a 180-day period. This new measure will apply to nationals of some sixty countries, including Canada. Those wishing to work or study in Europe will still need a visa.

The authorization will cost 7 euros, or around 11 Canadian dollars, and can be obtained via the ETIAS website and mobile application. Valid for three years
The 30 countries requiring ETIAS

Les 30 pays qui exigeront l’ETIAS
L’Allemagne, l’Autriche, la Belgique, la Bulgarie, Chypre, la Croatie, le Danemark, l’Espagne, l’Estonie, la Finlande, la France, la Grèce, la Hongrie, l’Islande, l’Italie, la Lettonie, le Liechtenstein, la Lituanie, le Luxembourg, Malte, la Norvège, les Pays-Bas, la Pologne, le Portugal, la République tchèque, la Roumanie, la Slovaquie, la Slovénie, la Suède et la Suisse.

« L’ETIAS sera opérationnel au cours du dernier trimestre de 2026. […] L’Union européenne communiquera la date précise du démarrage de l’ETIAS plusieurs mois avant son lancement », peut-on lire sur le site officiel de l’Union européenne, mis à jour lundi.

Sur les réseaux sociaux, plusieurs Canadiens prévoyant se rendre prochainement sur le Vieux Continent se questionnaient justement dans les dernières semaines sur les modalités et la date d’entrée en vigueur de cette nouvelle mesure.

Conçu pour renforcer la sécurité des frontières européennes, l’ETIAS devait initialement être mis en place dès 2021. Mais cette étape ne cesse depuis d’être reportée.

Lorsqu’elle entrera en vigueur, cette autorisation sera exigée par 30 pays membres — ou en voie de l’être — de l’espace Schengen. Elle permettra aux visiteurs déjà exemptés de l’obligation de visa de circuler librement dans les pays européens concernés pendant 90 jours maximum, à l’intérieur d’une période de 180 jours. Cette nouvelle mesure s’appliquera aux ressortissants d’une soixantaine de pays, dont le Canada. À noter que les personnes souhaitant travailler ou étudier en Europe auront toujours besoin d’un visa.

Air Transat is also ending one free checked item for its Eco Standard fare class, its second lowest option, for the same destinations.

À compter du 11 février, les voyageurs utilisant la classe tarifaire Eco Budget, la plus basse, ne pourront apporter qu'un article personnel à leur siège, comme un sac à main ou un petit sac à dos. Tous les autres bagages sont assujettis à des frais et devront être enregistrés, a indiqué la compagnie dans un courriel envoyé à Radio-Canada.

Air Canada says this is a more efficient way to reunite passengers with their luggage.

The airline provided the steps to use this feature.

Generate a Share Item Location link in the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac and securely share it with Air Canada's baggage team through its Delayed Baggage Claim website.
For customers' privacy and security, location sharing will automatically end as soon as a customer is reunited with their bag, can be stopped by the customer at any time, and will automatically expire after seven days.
To use the new Share Item Location feature, customers should verify that their Apple device is running iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, or macOS 15.2 or later
