But ... Carney said we were square with Europe:
Last month, European countries began rolling out the new Entry/Exit System (EES) for travellers crossing European borders. It’s expected to be fully operational by April 10, 2026. Here’s what to know.
The EES is for non-EU nationals (including Canadians) who are travelling for a short stay to one or more countries in the Schengen area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. ...
The EES replaces the manual stamping of passports at border crossings. During the first six months of its use, border officers will continue to stamp passports in addition to registering entries and exits digitally. Countries may also revert to manual stamping if they experience technical problems. Once the system is fully in place, only the digital system will be used.
The system will also track overstays and denials of entry. The government of Canada notes on its website that each country decides who can enter or exit through its borders, and Canada can’t intervene if someone doesn’t meet entry or exit requirements. ...
Biometric data, such as fingerprints and facial images, will also be collected at the point of entry, and stored for three years.
