Canada Travel FAQs
A trip with Royalairtrip allows you to have a tour with freedom and flexibility. You decide where to visit, when to see, what to eat and where to stay.
What should I pack for a trip to Canada?
Packing for Canada requires a little thought because the weather can vary dramatically depending on which region you are visiting and what time of year you are travelling. For summer visits between June and August lightweight clothing is perfect for city sightseeing but always pack a light jacket or fleece because Canadian evenings can get surprisingly cool even in the warmest months. If you are visiting the Rocky Mountains or national parks comfortable walking shoes or proper hiking boots are absolutely essential along with sunscreen, a hat, and insect repellent for outdoor activities. For winter travel between November and March you will need serious cold weather gear including a heavy insulated coat, thermal underlayers, warm boots, gloves, and a hat as temperatures in many parts of Canada can drop well below minus 20 degrees Celsius. A universal power adapter is useful as Canada uses the same Type A and B plugs as the USA.
What is the best time to visit Canada?
Canada is a destination that can be visited all year round but the best time really depends on what kind of experience you are looking for. If you want to enjoy warm weather, outdoor activities, hiking in national parks, and sightseeing in cities then June to August is the perfect time to visit. The summer months bring long sunny days, lush green landscapes, and a vibrant festival atmosphere across all major Canadian cities. If you are a winter lover and dream of seeing the famous Northern Lights, skiing in world class resorts like Whistler, or experiencing a magical white Christmas then December to February is absolutely ideal. The autumn months of September and October are arguably the most beautiful time to visit Canada when the entire country transforms into a stunning canvas of red, orange, and golden leaves making it a paradise for photographers and nature lovers.
What are the must visit places in Canada?
Canada is packed with incredible destinations and choosing where to go can feel overwhelming given the sheer size and diversity of the country. Niagara Falls is one of the most iconic natural wonders in the world and an absolute must see for every visitor to Canada with its thundering waterfalls and stunning viewpoints on both the Canadian and American sides. Banff National Park in Alberta is another unmissable destination with its turquoise glacial lakes, snow capped Rocky Mountain peaks, and abundant wildlife including elk, bears, and eagles. The city of Toronto offers world class dining, shopping, and entertainment along with the famous CN Tower which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and Lake Ontario. Quebec City is a charming and uniquely European feeling destination with its cobblestone streets, fortified walls, and beautiful French architecture that feels like stepping into another world.
What is the food like in Canada?
Canadian cuisine is as diverse and multicultural as the country itself and food lovers will find an incredible range of flavours and experiences throughout their trip. Poutine is perhaps Canada's most famous dish consisting of crispy French fries topped with cheese curds and rich brown gravy and it is absolutely delicious and found everywhere from small diners to upscale restaurants. Fresh seafood is outstanding particularly on the coasts where you can enjoy world class lobster in Nova Scotia, Pacific salmon in British Columbia, and fresh oysters along the eastern seaboard. Montreal is widely considered one of the best food cities in North America with its incredible bagels, smoked meat sandwiches, and thriving restaurant scene influenced by French culinary traditions. Maple syrup is of course a Canadian icon and you will find it drizzled over pancakes, incorporated into desserts, and even used in savoury dishes throughout the country.
Do I need a visa to visit Canada?
Visa requirements for Canada depend on your nationality and it is important to check the specific requirements well in advance of your trip. Indian passport holders are required to obtain a Canadian visitor visa also known as a Temporary Resident Visa before travelling to Canada. The application is done online through the official Canadian government immigration website and requires documents such as your passport, photographs, proof of funds, travel itinerary, and proof of ties to your home country. Processing times can vary from a few weeks to a few months so it is always advisable to apply at least 2 to 3 months before your planned travel date. Citizens of many other countries including the UK, Australia, and most European nations do not need a visa but are required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization known as an eTA which is a quick and simple online process costing just a few Canadian dollars. Royal Air Trip's team provides full visa guidance and documentation support to all our clients so you never have to worry about the paperwork side of planning your Canada trip.
