Did you know?

Canada has the longest coastline of any country in the world, stretching over 202,080 kilometers (125,566 miles). That’s almost four times the circumference of the Earth and about 20% of the worlds total coastline.

Travel Tips details

Canada’s peak travel seasons are summer (June to August) and autumn (September to October). Summer offers warm weather, perfect for exploring national parks and cities, while autumn showcases vibrant fall foliage. For winter sports lovers, December to February is ideal for skiing and snowboarding.

Canada’s currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). Credit cards are widely accepted, even in smaller towns, but it’s always good to carry some cash for small purchases, especially in rural areas or local markets.

The official languages are English and French, with French being predominantly spoken in Quebec. While most Canadians speak English, knowing basic French phrases can be helpful in certain areas and appreciated by locals.

Canada is vast, so consider flying for long distances between provinces. For shorter trips, rental cars or trains (like VIA Rail) are excellent for scenic travel. Public transit in cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal is efficient. Apps like Uber and Lyft operate in most urban areas.

Tap water in Canada is safe to drink across the country, even in most rural areas. Carry a reusable water bottle to stay eco-friendly.

SIM Cards – Consider purchasing an E-Sim or a local SIM card from providers like Bell, Rogers, or Telus for affordable mobile data and calls. Coverage is excellent in cities but can be limited in remote or mountainous regions. Wi-Fi – WiFi is widely available in hotels, cafes, and public areas, though speeds can vary in rural locations.

The emergency number for police, ambulance, and fire services is 911.

A tip of 15-20% is customary in restaurants, and small tips for taxi drivers, hotel staff, and tour guides are appreciated.

Canada is known for its pristine natural environments. Opt for eco-friendly accommodations, follow Leave-No-Trace principles, and support sustainable tours, especially in national parks and wilderness areas.

Canada is one of the world’s safest countries, but it’s always wise to be cautious. Keep an eye on your belongings in crowded tourist areas and avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar urban settings. When exploring the wilderness, follow park guidelines, carry bear spray in some regions, and inform someone of your plans.

Food - Indulge in poutine (fries with cheese curds and gravy), butter tarts, Nanaimo bars, and fresh seafood, especially Atlantic lobster and Pacific salmon. Festivals - Experience vibrant events like Canada Day (July 1), Montreal Jazz Festival, or Calgary’s Stampede. Etiquette - Canadians are known for their politeness. A friendly "hello," holding doors open, and respecting personal space are appreciated.
