Essential Travel Tips

Make the most of your Canadian adventure with these helpful insights

Weather Preparedness

Canada's weather can vary dramatically by region and season. Pack layers and check local forecasts before traveling. Winter visitors should bring proper cold-weather gear, while summer travelers should be prepared for occasional rain.

Transportation

Canada is vast! Consider domestic flights for long distances. In cities, public transit is reliable, while rural areas often require rental cars. The VIA Rail network offers scenic routes between major centers, and the Trans-Canada Highway spans the entire country.

Currency & Payments

The Canadian dollar (CAD) is the official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted in urban areas, but carry some cash for rural locations. Notify your bank before traveling to prevent card blocks on international transactions.

Cultural Etiquette

Canadians are known for politeness and inclusivity. Tipping 15-20% is customary in restaurants. Respect Indigenous lands and cultural sites. Learn a few French phrases if visiting Quebec, though most people speak English as well.
