Why do I (a Canadian) need a visa to fly back to Canada?

Aeromexico says it is mandatory. Is this something new?
Or related to what’s going on right now in Jalisco??

Must be a misunderstanding,
why would a canadian need a visa to enter his own country???

I believe you, as a non-resident of México, need a stamped (or cancelled) visa to exit México, not necessarily to enter Canada.

Aeromexico yesterday, stated that it was mandatory for me to apply for a visa. I only have what was stamped in my passport when I arrived.

If you enter as a tourist, not as a resident, you should fill out a FMMD on line.

You only need a valid passport for re-entry to Canada however you do need the entry visa that you came into Mexico to exit Mexico. This always been the case.
