Travel Safety in Canada

There are very few security risks in Canada.

Crime, although uncommon throughout the country, is more likely to take place in major cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary and Ottowa.

These cities are also the focal point of protests, but such gatherings only occasionally turn violent.

Recent terrorist activity in Canada has generally been small in scale and carried out by radicalised individuals, but the country faces an ongoing and general risk of attack.

Travellers face a negligible risk of kidnapping and conflict.

In general, medical facilities in the country are of an excellent standard in major urban centres, but services may be limited in smaller towns and rural areas.
