Visitor Requirements: Travellers from Europe
European passport holders do not require a visa to
visit Canada. All you need is a valid passport, a
return ticket and sufficient funds to support
yourself and your dependents during your stay in
Canada.
European visitors to Canada who wish to also
visit the United States must possess valid
passports to be admitted; residents of Portugal
are further required to have a visa.
Visitor Requirements: U.S. Residents
Although a passport is the ideal identification,
you do not require a passport or visa to enter
Canada. Just make sure you carry identification to
establish your citizenship such as a Birth
Certificate and least one ID card with photo. If
you are a naturalized U.S. citizen, you should
carry this certificate.
Although it is rare, immigration officials may
prevent the entry of visitors:
-
who appear to pose a health risk.
-
those they doubt will be able to support
themselves and their dependents in Canada.
-
whose willingness and means to return to the
U.S. is in doubt.
-
those who have been convicted of a DUI (driving
under influence)
If you have questions about your admissibility
to enter Canada, contact your nearest Canadian
Embassy or Consulate for consultation. Or contact:
Visitors from the U.S. who are not American
Citizens
Permanent residents of the United States do not need to carry a passport
or travel documents to enter Canada.
Temporary residents of the United States
(anyone who carries a Temporary Resident Card,
Form 1-688, or Employment Authorization Card,
1-688A or 1-688B) must carry a passport and may
also require a visa depending on their country of
citizenship
Citizens of other countries who wish to enter
Canada through the United States must also carry a
valid passport and may require a visa, which they
should obtain from a Canadian Embassy or Consulate
outside Canada. Those in this category should
check with an office of the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service before they enter Canada.
Visitor Requirements: Travellers from Other
