Starting in 2024, Canadian passport holders will be required to apply online and pay a fee if they plan to stay short term in 30 European countries.

I wonder what's the reason for the change? The article just mentions vaguely about the EU tightening border security. But is border security from Canada really a concern? Or did we just get swept up in a larger change?

I'm personally of the opinion we should be going the opposite direction. It should be easier to visit, work, and immigrate/emigrate to and from similar countries.

The EU is basically slapping Canadians with a reciprocal policy. Canada has the eTA (electronic travel authorization) which they have to file and pay 7$ to visit, even if they don't need a visa. This is the same in reverse.

We should stop doing that.
