Explore Canadian Travel Destinations: A TravelDoc Guide
Whether you're seeking adventure, culture, or sun-soaked beaches, it’s essential to understand the visa requirements - especially as rules evolve in 2025. That’s where TravelDoc comes in. It’s your go-to tool for checking visa requirements and travel rules for nearly every country in the world.
Canadian travellers have the pleasure of holding a passport ranked no. 7 in the world by the Henley Passport Index and the Global Passport Power Rank. This is because Canadians can travel to nearly 200 destinations around the world without needing to obtain a visa, or being able to obtain a visa on arrival.
But for the remaining countries that do require a visa for Canadian nationals, what are the best?
Cuba has been a long favourite destination for Canadians craving a combination of historical charm, warm weather, and a splash of Caribbean culture. You can see the sights of beautiful Havana, and explore the wide sandy beaches in that Caribbean sun.

Travel Tip
Make sure to carry cash in euros or Canadian dollars, as U.S. dollars incur a steep exchange penalty in Cuba, and credit card acceptance is limited.
From the Great Wall to the tech-forward megacities like Shanghai and Beijing, China offers a blend of ancient history and modern marvels that’s hard to match. With a relaxation and simplification of its travel rules recently, China is firmly back on the map for adventurous Canadians.

Travel Tip
If applying for a visa, apply at least 1–2 months in advance to account for processing delays. And if you're planning to explore multiple cities, consider applying for a multi-entry visa to allow flexibility. You can apply for a visa at TravelDoc though our partner iVisa.
Australia tends to top many Canadians wish lists for those wanting to travel somewhere far from home, but still with some familiar comforts. Explore the iconic Australian outback, or relax in the sun sea and surf of the vibrant cities. As an English-speaking country, the lack of language barrier is also a tempting prospect.
Visa overview
Travel Tip
Australia’s seasons are opposite to Canada’s, so head down during your winter (their summer) for the best beach weather. Also, be sure to check their customs requirements as they have very strict biosecurity rules.
Visa requirements don’t have to be a hassle. With TravelDoc, Canadian travellers can enjoy stress-free trips to top Canadian Travel Destinations and beyond - from Cuba and China to Australia - balancing ease of access with amazing experiences.
Always check TravelDoc before booking to stay ahead of the rules.
