As the holiday season approaches, many Canadians are preparing for their winter getaway.
The Government of Canada is taking this opportunity to remind all travellers of the importance of having safe travel arrangements. A number of travel tools and advice are available to Canadians at Travel.gc.ca. The following advice could be especially helpful when planning a winter vacation outside Canada:
- Check your destination on Canada's official Travel Advice and Advisories to get all the information about its risk level, security conditions, entry and exit requirements, local laws and customs, and more.
- Sign up for the Government of Canada's Registration of Canadians abroad service to get the latest updates in case of an emergency abroad or a personal emergency at home.
- Get travel insurance. Travellers should always buy the best travel health insurance they can afford and ensure complete coverage.
- Carry emergency contact information, including for the Government of Canada office nearest to your destination and for Global Affairs Canada's Emergency Watch and Response Centre
