Canada Visa Requirements

Visit the Goverment of Canada web site for more information or check your specific country at VisaHQ. For a list of exempt countries, visit Project Visa. Visitors from the United States do not require a visa.

Canadian “Loonie” Currency

The Canadian dollar is the official currency of Canada. The US dollar is often accepted near ports of entry for air or cruise ship. The Canadian one dollar coin is called the “loonie”, because the coin has a loon on one face. When the two dollar coin came out, the name “twonie” then caught on.

Canadian Languages

Canada’s two official languages are English and French. French is most commonly spoken in the province of Québec. Canada also acknowledges First Nations languages and sometimes produces signage in native languages.
