🛡️Safety
★★★★★ Extremely Safe

Canada is one of the safest countries in the world. Crime is low and travellers feel at ease day and night.

📍 Areas to Watch

No dangerous areas. The main risk comes from nature: extreme weather, wildlife and long distances.

⚠️ Common Scams

  • Tourist scams are rare; use normal caution in busy areas of big cities
  • High parking fees and fines downtown: read the signs carefully
  • Wildlife (bears, moose) on the roads: follow park guidelines

💡 Safety Tips

  • Check the weather and your gear before any hike: conditions change fast
  • Never feed wildlife and keep your distance
  • Plan for long distances between cities and refuel regularly
📱Mobile Connectivity

🚄Getting Around

✈️ From the Airport

Toronto: UP Express train to downtown (~25 min). Montreal: 747 bus from the airport. Vancouver: SkyTrain Canada Line straight to downtown.

🗺️ Getting Around

Distances are huge: domestic flights link the big cities efficiently. Scenic VIA Rail trains, and car rental is ideal for the parks.

📱 Essential Apps

  • Google Maps — navigation and public transit
  • Uber / Lyft — ride-hailing in big cities
  • VIA Rail / Flixbus — long-distance trains and buses
💡

To explore the Rockies or the coast, renting a car is almost essential. In cities, transit and ride apps are enough.

  • Underestimate distances and weather in the wild
  • Approach or feed wild animals
  • Confuse Canadians with Americans: it's not appreciated
  • Smoke outside permitted areas, where rules are strict
