Planning to spend some time in a warmer country this winter?

You may want to look at some Canadian Government websites for useful traveller information.

If you are planning a trip abroad this winter you may want to look at some Canadian Government websites that provide useful traveller information.

The first one, travel.gc.ca, provides information on destination safety and security, local laws and customs, entry requirements, health conditions, and emergency contact information for Canadian offices.

And once you have found information about your destination, got there and enjoyed the warm weather for a too short little while, have a look at the Canada Border Services Agency’s website to see what you can bring back to Canada and what are your personal exemptions.

Finally, if you are travelling by air, and brought your smart phone, you could use the CanBorder – eDeclaration mobile app to prepare your customs declaration. Once you get to the Primary Inspection Kiosk just scan the bar code provided by the app to give your information. Note that it is important to scan the bar code on your phone’s screen before you choose a languange.

Have a safe and wonderful trip!
