Canada travel information
Canada is one of the world’s most popular destinations for travellers and most visits will be trouble-free. Canada has a well developed tourist infrastructure and services are first rate. Crime is relatively low and there is little security risk in tourist areas.
Up-to-date travel advice is available on the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website. The threat from terrorism in this country is low; however, you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets. Winter travel can be dangerous due to heavy snowfalls and ice, which make road conditions hazardous.
