Plan your unique holiday to Canada

British citizens do not need a visa for tourist visits of up to six months. However, if you are flying to Canada, you will need to apply for an eTA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) before departure. You can find more information about this in the Practical Information section.

There are no compulsory vaccinations for travel to Canada. It is still advisable to ensure your routine vaccinations are up to date. If you have any concerns or specific health questions, speak to your GP or a travel health clinic before travelling.

Canada is widely considered one of the safest countries in the world to travel in. Crime rates are relatively low, and Canadians are known for being friendly and welcoming. National parks and wilderness areas are well managed. While wildlife such as bears and moose do live in these areas, clear guidance is provided, and encounters are very rare when visitors follow local advice.
