SPUR | Japan's fashion trend information site it started with a shocking refusal!Rumen Maji Maji Time!Vancouver alone GO!

【please note!There are serious pitfalls on Canada trip!!]

hello everyone.This time, P alone aimed for → → → → Vancouver, Canada and Vancouver!I thought, "Eh? Can you go with bullet!?"You can go!If you take a direct flight at 9 o'clock at the night of Haneda Airport, you can travel to bullet without waste.A regular discount ticket can be issued on the at least 2 nights (2 nights and 1 night in the aircraft = 3 consecutive holidays in a total of 3 consecutive holidays), but so that the time staying on the local station is quite tight due to the schedule of the return flight and the time difference.。One P alone decided to attach a day off for three consecutive holidays in September and go for four consecutive holidays."Wow! It's Vancouver for the first time in two years ~ ~ !! ( * By the way, the second time)", I finished my work on Friday night and headed to Haneda Airport as usual.But what was waiting there!!

What a shocking "rejection of boarding"!!It was!!

What do you mean?In fact, the sign was when I tried to check in the web the night before."What? Can't you check in?"On the smartphone screen, there is a display that "document is incomplete".He searched, "Well? What documents!?"Oh, I thought it was that, but I took the procedure for applying for customs electronic ( * This customs electronic application seems to be unnecessary after all).However, we cannot check in web as usual."Well, you can understand it if you listen to the check -in counter," said a mistake that stopped pursuing here ...!!!On the day, two hours before departure, I was waiting for one P who arrived at the counter!!

"Customer, did you have to proceed with electronic travel authentication?" "... Eh!? Yeah! ??"

When I was in Canada, I installed a pre -electronic transit authentication system (ETA, Ia) like ESTA in the United States! ! I haven't heard it! ! from when! ? It wasn't two years ago! The investigation was sweet! And you don't have enough information from various related areas while tongue on yourself! ? At this point, I was still in time. In fact, it was discovered that the ESTA was cut off at the check -in counter twice when traveling to the United States, and I applied for a smartphone on the spot and got nothing. I am very careful). The ETA heard that the certification would be down in a few minutes after the application, and calmly completed the electronic application using a smartphone in one corner of Haneda (the application site is only in English, the application fee is 7 Canada dollars. It took about 15 minutes to complete the application. rice field). There was also a display saying "The application fee has been charged to the credit card", so go to the check -in counter again. But. "Well, the authentication has not been down yet. Have you received the authentication email?" nothing! ? Authentication email! ? I haven't come that much. "Payment has been approved," he shows the approval screen that captured. "Oh, it's true. Please wait a bit. I'll check it out." !

"The system on the Canadian side seems to be down."

Eh, yeah!???

"What happens to that!?" "If the authentication does not go down by the check -in deadline, you cannot board."

Yeah yeah yeah!!!????(White eyes)

At this point, 40 minutes to the deadline.It has been 20 minutes since the application was completed.One step before Zetsubo (further white eyes)

[I just waited for "email from Canada", but ...]

It is unknown when the system has been down, but it seems that he had already down somewhere before I applied.Will it recover!???Please do it!!!While writhing, it is 40 minutes to wait in one corner of Haneda.

yes.After all, the system is not restored by time."Email from Canada" did not arrive ...!!!Cheen!Person alone, no way to board!!I can't leave!!!(Crying !!)

Vancouver is in the distance!!!(I feel like Cape Ashizuri)

About 9 hours from Haneda to Vancouver.Will it be authenticated in the meantime?You who thought!Yes, I thought so too.But, nat!People who have not reached ETA authentication are said to be a system that cannot be checked in in the first place, and sinks!!(By the way, the same is true for ESTA in the United States)

"In other words, it may be easy to apply, but it's like a visa!!

In the first place, I will tell you about your uniqueness.

Since this time, I have been talking to various people, but even though the US ESTA is OK, no one has yet to meet anyone who knows about Canadian electronic travel authentication.Perhaps only those who have gone to Canada in the last two years??ETA is too aware.In the first place, if there is no ETA, you will not be able to board, so I would like you to be more careful about various related areas!

Even though I bought a ticket from the airline site, the guidance of the ETA was pear (I do not know just by displaying the "document deficiency" at the time of the web check -in!).I would like Canada ticket buyers to give some alerts for an inadvertent stupid like one P!!The guidebook is also written about ETA!?If you look closely, it certainly wrote it, but the tension to be handled is normal, and many people do not notice.There is no sense of importance that you cannot get on Canadian flights without having this.I want you to write it so that you are in the red and noticeable inadvertent stupid like a pawn P!

[Person alone, I reflected deeper than the sea!]

There are various points of reflection. In the first place, it was the second Vancouver, so I bought a new guidebook to the latest version, but I just checked the shops and restaurants. Most of them have the same store as before, so they read quickly. I don't think it's going to be like this, and I don't read the part of the procedure. It was a blind spot that Canada introduced electronic travel authentication. Whenever I go to any country, I need to reconfirm the conditions of entry into the other country before traveling. Also, when you searched for a "document inadequate" and searched for immigration in Canada, you should first check the site of the Canadian Embassy in Japan. It was a major failure to see only articles that came out in the top search. "Documents" display = I will order to be serious about serious problems. Well, the system down! ! ! It's the best (tears). Without that, I was able to board safely (tears).

So, one P who was rejected to board, what happened after all ↓

Departure to transfer to flight the next day.The schedule for 3 nights and 5 days (in real 4 days) has been reduced to 4 days (actually 3 days) for 2 nights.In other words, the stay is one day, where we arrive (arrival in the hotel in the evening) & return to Japan (arrived at the airport at 2:00 pm).In the case of Asia, the arrival day and return day are almost full -full, but the flight time is longer and the stay in the land is short, and it is an overwhelmingly bullet trip.In fact, I asked at the counter that if this happened, I would be able to change the return flight one day later (I couldn't do the job!), But that was not allowed.frame.Well, I don't say luxury because I'm grateful just to transfer my trip (tears).

At the Tully's (24 -hour business) on the arrival floor under the Haneda International Terminal departure floor, I had a remorse alone (tears).

After all, the ETA authentication email came after 1:30 in midnight!!It was around 20:00 that P alone applied, so it was down the system for at least five and a half hours.I think there were more people who were crying around the world because they were refused to board.tragedy···!!

So, in order not to repeat this tragedy, I will say the voice, no, the letters in the red!

Entering Canada requires an e -operating ETA in advance!If this certification is not descended, you will not be able to board the flight!There are cases where authentication does not fall immediately due to system down, so the application is as early as possible and have plenty of time!Rather, apply before buying a ticket!

By the way, authentication seems to be valid for 5 years.By the way, × 2, here are various websites and guidebooks that ETA was introduced in March 2016, but P alone P alone went to Vancouver.Is July 2016.At that time, ETA authentication was not required.So I have not applied.If you apply, you should have been able to board without any problems this time within 5 years and the same passport, so there is no doubt!???Was there a transition period??
