Passports
Your passport is the only proof of your Canadian citizenship and identity that is accepted in all countries. You and all family members should have a valid passport if you plan to travel outside Canada.

Visas
Permission to enter another country is the sole prerogative of that country. Verify in advance whether your destination country or countries require a visa for entry, and apply well in advance.

Children and Travel
Travel with or by children should be planned carefully to ensure everyone's safety. Make sure you and your children leave home with proper identification.

Travel to the U.S.
It is important to prepare for travel to or through the United States, and to be aware of regulations and conditions that may affect your journey. The requirements of U.S. authorities have recently become much stricter.
