Where can you go on a Canada passport?

The Canadian passport provides visa-free or eTA-only entry to most major destinations including the European Union (Schengen — 90 days), the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Australia (eVisitor), Singapore, and most of the Americas. Canadians travelling to the United States are exempt from ESTA but still require I-94 entry. Long-stay options vary widely: Australian working holiday visas are available to Canadians under 35; Schengen long-stay national visas (D-class) are issued by individual EU member states; and bilateral working-holiday agreements exist with Japan, South Korea, Ireland, and several others.

About travel from Canada

Visa requirements for Canada passport holders vary by destination, purpose, and policies that change without notice. We pull from official government sources where possible — embassy and ministry-of-foreign-affairs pages — and surface the date we last verified each requirement, plus a direct link to the primary source on every answer.

For each destination, you'll find tourist, business, transit, work, study, partner/family and diplomatic visa routes (where applicable). Each shows the visa type, maximum stay, typical cost, processing time, and the official application URL.

Important: a valid visa permits entry subject to officer discretion at the border. Always verify with the destination's embassy or consulate before booking travel, accepting employment, or making relocation plans — particularly for long-stay routes (work, study, family) where the consequences of incorrect information are severe.
