Entry Requirements

Visitors should check visa and entry requirements before travelling.

Depending on nationality, travellers may require either a visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter Canada. There is no special World Cup visa, and holding a match ticket does not guarantee entry.

Border officials make the final decision on admission and length of stay.

Visitors should ensure their passport is valid and keep travel confirmations, accommodation details and return or onward travel information accessible.

Further information is available through the Government of Canada.

Customs and Border Information

All travellers must declare goods they are bringing into Canada.

Visitors should declare:

• purchases and gifts

• food, plant or animal products

• cash or monetary instruments valued at CAD $10,000 or more

• firearms, weapons or restricted items

Cannabis is legal in Canada but remains illegal to transport across the Canadian border, including products containing THC or CBD.

Failure to declare goods can result in fines, confiscation of items or delays at the border.

Healthcare and Travel Insurance

Canada's public healthcare system does not generally provide free healthcare to international visitors.

Medical treatment can be expensive without insurance, particularly emergency treatment and hospital care. Comprehensive travel insurance covering medical treatment, existing conditions and emergency repatriation is strongly recommended.

Medication

Visitors should travel with sufficient medication for the duration of their trip and carry prescriptions where appropriate.

Emergencies

Emergency services can generally be reached by calling 911.
