Travel tips for the United States

All Canadians travelling to the United States by air, land or water require a valid Canadian passport to enter the country. Canadians can apply for a NEXUS Card to speed up security clearance at the border crossing. Canadians, including snowbirds, do not need a visa to visit the US and are permitted to stay in the country for up to six months per trip.

The average temperature in the US depends on where you are in the country; much like Canada, the US is geographically diverse. However, popular destinations include Florida, California and Las Vegas, which are warm during the winter months, and New York is another commonly visited destination. Road trips are popular and cost-effective travel options. You will need to convert your currency into US dollars or use your credit card to pay for food and accommodation.
