This agreement is purely between the EU and Canada only. It does not refer to any other country. Under this agreement the airlines will have to pass on passengers' names and details to the Canadian border authorities. I went to Canada about 15 years ago and the Canadian mounted police were at the airport when I arrived in Toronto. I never got as thorough a check in my life as I did then. They told me that my passport photograph was not a good likeness and that I had deteriorated since the time it had been taken. The Canadian authorities are quite thorough in their checks. Is there a particular reason that it is only Canada that is doing this?
