Good news, friends,
It seems that the etias electronic visa for the Schengen area, which was initially scheduled for January 1, 2021, has finally been postponed until ... the end of 2022! (Probably because of covid which upset all their logistics plans to install this system common to all the countries of the Schengen area).
Here is the source of the news:

This is good news for Canadian Blue RTD owners:
This means additional time to access Europe via Germany with Canadian travel documents (I really advise, given the current global circumstances, to leave Canada only in case of ABSOLUTE AND URGENT necessity.
If you don't have an emergency, quietly wait for your Canadian citizenship).
But it is also good news for those with a pending application for Canadian citizenship, especially with the recent resumption of online tests (This is especially a good thing because the European electronic visa for the area Schengen Ethias even concerns holders of a regular Canadian passport).
