Beautiful mountain scenery, crystal clear lakes and more refreshing air than anything you’ve breathed before. These are three things you can surely expect when visiting Canada, one of the most picturesque countries on our planet. The unstained beauty of the Canadian desert has been the playground for adventurers and vacationers for generations. This is precisely the kind of natural majesty that continually makes visitors return north of the border. But, if this is your first trip to Canada, there are some essential things you should keep in mind. To make your visit as exciting and fun as possible, here are some tips to plan your vacation in Canada.
Travel documents
If you are traveling to Canada, the priority is to make sure you bring your travel documents. You need an electronic travel visa (eta-canada.com) to travel to Canada, and if you come from the United States, you must have a valid passport, a permanent resident card or a Nexus card. Border services officials and airport customs will verify these documents before they allow you to enter the country or even allow you to board an aircraft serving in Canada. You can apply for a Canada eTA.
Travel insurance
Persons traveling with a temporary resident visa must also present their insurance documents to their visitors in case of border officials request to see it. To be safe, you must also bring photocopies of all your travel and identity documents. Having travel insurance can give you peace of mind when traveling far from home, if your luggage is lost or stolen, or if you get sick. Travel insurance does not have to be expensive, but lost luggage and medical expenses indeed can be. Medical and dental care is expensive, and the government recommends that visitors be appropriately insured during their stay in the country.
Clothes
Of course, a checklist for the traveler must include appropriate clothing. The type of clothing you must bring to Canada depends on the time of year you will be there and where you will be staying. If you are in Canada during the summer, you can bring your usual summer clothes: shirts, shorts, jeans and other light clothing. You should also bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats for UV protection.
Summers in Canada can be very hot, as it can be freezing during the winter. If your visit takes place during this season, do not forget to bring your best jackets, boots, and underwear. You should also bring windbreaks, gloves, scarves, mufflers, and hats. Cold winds can be powerful in winter, especially if you head to the prairies: Manitoba, Saskatchewan and northern Alberta. In fact, anywhere in the north, there will be cold.
Conclusion
Vacation planning, whether inside or outside the country, is essential. Use a significant amount of information available on the Internet to get a good idea. All the best hotels with famous attractions can be found online, and you will need to ensure that you have a Canada eTA. It is essential to be able to calculate the time difference to know how long a trip will last and also to coordinate with the people in the home.
