Travel Information – Government Information and Advisories

The Government of Canada provides online travel information at www.travel.gc.ca to over 220 nations worldwide. It provides country-by-country information and advice on security, entry and exit information, health, laws and culture, natural disasters and climate, and assistance while travelling in the respective countries.

It addition, it publishes travel advisories for Canadians travelling and living abroad. These advisories are updated nearly daily. The website also notes that if the country an individual is visiting is subject to a travel advisory, travel health insurance or trip cancellation insurance may be affected.
