Travel advice for Canada

Australia advises normal precautions for Canada.

Normal precautions apply because Canada has a good security standard. From April to September, wildfires can affect British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, the Northwest Territories and Yukon; travellers in affected areas should follow authorities', tour operators' and hotels' instructions and expect smoke, smog and evacuations. Health care meets European standards but waits may be long, so comprehensive insurance is advised. Traffic rules differ by province and territory.

Travel to Canada is generally safe if usual precautions are taken. Carry sufficient funds for emergencies, and travel insurance with international health coverage, including repatriation, is recommended. If you visited the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda or South Sudan in the past 21 days, inform the destination authorities of Canada's entry measures.

Most Danes have no problems in Canada, but should use common sense and remain alert in crowded areas because terrorist attacks can occur without warning. Crime is relatively low, but pickpocketing, drink-spiking, card scams and hacking occur; stay away from demonstrations. Hurricanes, flooding and wildfires are risks, and disasters can arise with little warning. Embassy help is very limited in remote areas, so inform relatives or use a professional guide.

Normal precautions apply when travelling to Canada. Estonian citizens may visit without a visa for up to 180 days if their passport remains valid throughout their stay, and tourists driving must hold a valid Estonian driving licence. Account for hurricanes from May to September, especially June and July, and for wildfires that can close roads or restrict access. Winter roads may be closed because of snowstorms or avalanches.

Germany advises normal precautions for Canada.

Hong Kong advises normal precautions for Canada.

Normal precautions apply because Canada is classified as safe with low security risk, although terrorism is realistically possible despite a medium threat level. Public safety is good, but some large city neighbourhoods warrant extra caution. Travellers should check provincial alcohol and drug rules, carry documents and monitor weather hazards, including wildfires, floods, storms and heatwaves. For Toronto and Vancouver, check event information on transport, venue entry, security and prohibited items.

Take normal precautions when travelling to Canada. The terrorism threat is low, but there remains a global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks against civilian targets, including places frequented by tourists and expatriates. Follow guidance from national and local authorities and remain informed of developments.

Japan advises normal precautions for Canada.

Take normal precautions in Canada and monitor wildfires, which can cause evacuations, road closures and poor air quality during hot, windy conditions. Remote areas face flooding, and avalanches, hurricanes and tornadoes occur, while earthquakes are a risk in western Canada. Watch for pickpockets in major cities. Cannabis cannot be taken across the Canada US border, other drugs are prohibited, and public drinking is banned under province and city rules.

No advisory is in place for Canada, but snow and ice can make winter roads treacherous. Avoid driving in poor weather, use chains or suitable tyres where required, carry extra supplies for remote travel, and buy comprehensive insurance. In the Arctic, rescue can take days to reach a stranded ship, so check your tour operator's medical support and emergency arrangements. Declare all food, plant and animal products to customs.

Use usual precautions, as no area should generally be avoided, but heed wildfire, flood and other emergency warnings and evacuations. Hundreds of wildfires are burning, with the most affected areas being the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, Ontario and northern Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Take extra care around religious sites and crowded locations, monitor air quality during wildfire season, and ensure measles vaccination, particularly when travelling to areas with reported outbreaks.

No travel warning is in force. British citizens should ensure their passport is valid for their stay, check visa requirements, carry proof of onward or return travel and sufficient funds, and comply with strict customs and biosecurity rules. Additional Ebola border measures apply to people who recently visited the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda or South Sudan, including health assessment, quarantine if asymptomatic, and hospital isolation if symptomatic.

Exercise normal precautions when travelling to Canada. Petty crime is common, particularly in popular tourist locations, including purse snatching, pickpocketing and car break-ins or theft. Crimes against foreigners are often opportunistic, so travellers should stay aware of their surroundings.
