Registration of Canadians Abroad - travel.gc.ca (2024)
Registration of Canadians Abroad is a free service that allows the Government of Canada to notify you in case of an emergency at your destination or a personal emergency at home. The service also enables you to receive important information before or during a natural disaster or civil unrest.
The personal information obtained through registration is confidential and is used in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act.
For group registrations, complete the online registration with the first 10 co-travellers, save and create your account. Log in again to add more co-travellers.
We strongly recommend that all Canadian citizens travelling or living abroad sign up for Registration of Canadians Abroad. It allows us to contact you to provide important information in advance of an emergency abroad and to send you information on how to stay safe and secure as you travel.
This is the Government of Canada's official web page to apply for an electronic travel authorization (eTA) to fly to, or transit through, a Canadian airport. It only costs CAN$7. Find out what it is and how to apply online.
Most travellers, including Canadian and U.S. citizens, must carry a valid passport to travel to a foreign country. A visa or electronic visa may also be required for some countries. Canadians holding dual citizenship must travel to Canada with a Canadian passport.
Signing up for STEP helps the U.S. embassy get in touch with you if there's an emergency. And, if your family or friends in the U.S. can't reach you with urgent news while you're traveling, we can use the information in STEP to try and contact you.
Answer: You need a valid passport or travel document to travel to Canada by car, train, bus or boat. If you decide to fly to a Canadian airport instead, you'll need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).
No, citizens of Canada who are traveling with a Canadian passport do not need an ESTA. I am a Lawful Permanent Resident of the United States and a citizen of a VWP country? No.
Visa-exempt foreign nationals need an eTA to fly to or transit through a Canadian airport. These travellers do not need an eTA when arriving by car, bus, train or boat (including a cruise ship).
However, all Canadians entering the U.S. by air require passports, and Canadians entering the U.S. by land or sea must have a Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI)-compliant travel document.
In actual fact, you can be absent from Canada as long as you want. The Canadian government recognizes that citizens may travel extensively, work or study abroad. You will always maintain your Canadian citizenship. What absentia may affect is your Canadian health care coverage and income tax.
Effective October 1, 2022, COVID-19 border entry restrictions were removed. In addition, testing, quarantine and isolation requirements were removed, regardless of citizenship and vaccination status. For general information on monthly traveller volumes by port of entry, visit the Open Government Portal.
The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) is a free service to allow U.S. citizens and nationals traveling or residing abroad to enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
Travel Documents for International Travel Checklist
Passport – Some countries require your passport to be valid until at least three or six months after your trip is scheduled to end. Visa – Some countries require citizens of certain countries to also obtain a visa in order to enter.
STEP can provide information about your destinations before you leave. You aren't likely to cancel your trip just because the State Department sends you a security bulletin, but it never hurts to be more informed. STEP can send you safety updates.
Since October 2022 , there are no longer COVID-19 related restrictions in place for travel to Canada. Visit COVID-19: Travel, testing and borders for the latest COVID-19 related travel requirements. Any COVID-19 vaccination records you may have previously uploaded in ArriveCAN are no longer available via the app.
Receiving a passport request letter from IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) is a positive indication that your visa application has progressed and is in the final stages of processing.
