On January 1, 2008 Canada will recognize the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Travel Card (ABTC), which is designed to facilitate business travel and provide accredited business people with priority processing. Current ABTC holders will be able to enter Canada using the special service lane at Canada's eight major international airports in the following cities: Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal and Halifax. Travellers should follow signage with the APEC logo to access this lane. Cardholders will still need a valid passport to travel since the ABTC is not meant to replace the passport as an official travel document. When using the special service lane to enter Canada, ABTC holders will be required to show the following documents to border services officers: a valid ABTC; a valid passport; a visa, if they are from one of these 10 countries: Chile, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Peru, the Phillippines, Russia, Thailand and Vietnam. Work permits may also be required depending on the nature of the business to be conducted in Canada. 1, record 2, English, - APEC%20Business%20Travel%20Card

À partir du 1er janvier 2008, le Canada reconnaîtra la carte de voyage d'affaires de la Coopération économique de la zone Asie-Pacifique (APEC), ou CVAA, qui est conçue pour faciliter les voyages d'affaires et pour offrir aux gens d'affaires accrédités un traitement prioritaire. Les détenteurs de la CVAA pourront entrer au Canada par un passage de service spécial aux huit grands aéroports internationaux canadiens, soit ceux des villes de Vancouver, d'Edmonton, de Calgary, de Winnipeg, de Toronto, d'Ottawa, de Montréal et d'Halifax. Ils devront suivre la signalisation marquée du logo de l'APEC pour accéder à ce passage. Les détenteurs devront posséder un passeport valide puisque la CVAA ne remplace pas le passeport comme document de voyage officiel. Lorsqu'ils utiliseront le passage de service spécial pour entrer au Canada, les détenteurs de la CVAA devront présenter les documents ci-dessous aux agents des services frontaliers : une carte de voyage d'affaires de l'APEC valide; un passeport valide; un visa s'ils arrivent de l'un des dix pays suivants : Chili, Chine, Indonésie, Malaisie, Pérou, Philippines, Russie, Taipei chinois, Thaïlande et Vietnam. Un permis de travail pourrait être exigé selon la nature des affaires qu'ils mèneront au Canada. 1, record 2, French, - Carte%20de%20voyage%20d%27affaires%20de%20l%27APEC
