Planning a trip

Visa requirements

All countries have special entry requirements. Since those requirements may change, we suggest you consult the the nearest diplomatic mission of the country you intend to visit. You may also consult the Foreign Affairs Canada's Travel Reports. These provide general information on most countries as well as information on entry requirements.

Before you leave... be prepared

  1. Status document from Citizenship and Immigration Canada
  2. Ensure that you are carrying a valid travel document. Check that the expiry date of your travel document is well beyond your return date.
  3. Remember to sign your travel document on page 3 and fill in your current address and the name of a person to contact in case of emergency on page 4.
  4. Make two photocopies of the identification page of your travel document.
    • Leave one copy with a friend or relative at home.
    • Bring the second copy with you on your trip. Carry this photocopy separately from your travel document when you travel. This can help identify you if your travel document is lost, stolen, damaged, destroyed or inaccessible.
  5. Read the last page of the travel document.
