Deadline and Website

nov: That's because foreign travellers faced a Nov. 10 deadline to obtain so-called electronic travel authorizations online before they could fly into Canada, according to CBC. They apparently flooded the website before that deadline to pay 7 online for electronic delivery of the mandatory travel documents, known as eTAs. CBC News has learned that the website for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada was already in trouble hours before Donald Trump's victory became clear on Nov. 8, the day of the U.S. presidential election. Technicians took more than 32 hours on Nov. 8-9, 2016 to fix Canada's immigration website, which was flooded with applications from travelers looking for transit documents before a key deadline. By about 2 p.m. The rush seemed to catch Canada's immigration officials off guard. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
