📖About Canada
Canada gives its passport holders broad travel room in 2026: 7th globally, with 182 destinations in reach through simplified entry routes. It is slightly below its 2006 position of 6th. Access has widened meaningfully, from 125 destinations then to 182 now. The wider scoring backs that up: 88 for global strength and 85 for openness. The useful part is the visa-free base: 137 destinations, including Japan, South Korea, and Albania. Visa on arrival adds another 36 options, with examples like Egypt, Ethiopia, and Madagascar. Before relying on any route, verify the current rule with the destination government or embassy because entry policies can move without much notice.
