Introduction
Canada is a gorgeous country with a lot of natural beauty, so many people visit it every year. If you’re planning to do the same, use this guide to plan your trip.
Getting to Canada
You can get to Canada by plane, train, or car. The easiest way to travel from city to city is by air because it’s quick and convenient. If you’re traveling with a group of people, it might be cheaper for everyone if you fly together rather than taking separate trains or buses.
If you don’t want to spend extra money on flights, then driving is another option for getting yourself up north. It may take longer than flying but it will save money in the long run because there are no fees associated with renting cars at airports like there would be when using public transportation systems such as buses or trains (and who knows what kind of traffic jams could ensue!). If possible though…I’d recommend flying!
Tourist Information
- The internet is a great resource for finding tourist information. You can use the internet to find local tourist information by looking at websites that have information on things like festivals and events, hotels and restaurants, attractions, and parks.
- If you’re planning to visit Canada during the winter months (December-March), it’s important to check out the weather forecast before you leave home!
Currency and Money
If you’re visiting Canada, it’s important to know that the currency is the Canadian dollar (symbolized by $). The same notes and coins are used throughout the country.
ATMs are widely available in Canada, so don’t worry about carrying too much cash with you. Credit cards are also widely accepted throughout the country; however, there may be some establishments that only accept cash payments and do not have a credit card machine available for use at all times.
Arriving in Canada
Once you’ve cleared customs, your next step is to get a visa if you need one. If not, great! You can skip this section and go straight to “Entering Canada.”
If you’re planning on staying in Canada for more than six months (or even just visiting), then it’s very important that you have a valid study permit or visitor visa before entering the country. You can apply for one at any Canadian embassy or consulate outside of Canada–the government provides an extensive list of locations here.
Once approved, bring along your confirmation e-mail so that border agents know that they should let you in without asking any questions about whether or not your documents are authentic (they will still check them).
The Climate
The climate in Canada is very diverse, ranging from tropical to polar. The country spans from the Pacific Ocean to the Arctic Ocean, so its climate is affected by both of these bodies of water.
Canada has a continental climate, which means that it experiences all four seasons: winter (January through March), spring (April through June), summer (July through September), and fall (October through December).
