This is good news, with a bit of a catch. You must have previously held a visa to Canada within the last 10 years or current hold a valid non-immigrant visa to the US. Still good news all same :)

Canada is a destination of choice for people looking to visit, do business or reunite with family and friends. That’s why we are committed to improving our immigration programs and services by making them more efficient and equitable for people around the world.
