In our previous legal update Flying to Canada? Electronic Travel Authorization becomes mandatory on September 30, 2016, we alerted you to the new requirements that were to come into force when the leniency period expired on September 29, 2016. After that date, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) was planning to enforce the requirement that visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to or transiting through Canada obtain an electronic travel authorization (eTA).
However, on September 20, 2016, IRCC announced that it would extend the leniency period until November 9, 2016 to lessen the impact of the transition to this new requirement on travellers and air carriers.
The extension of the leniency period will also allow Canadian citizens who are dual nationals to apply for a Canadian passport. Since Canadian citizens cannot apply for an eTA, dual nationals will have to present a valid Canadian passport before they can board an aircraft travelling to Canada, starting on November 10, 2016.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
