Safety and Security

Driving: Snow and ice make road conditions especially treacherous in winter. Seek advice on safe driving in icy road conditions. Snow chains or tyres are advisable and may be required in certain provinces. If you are driving to a remote area, pack extra water, food, and blankets. Do not drive if weather conditions are poor. Drivers are strongly encouraged to purchase a comprehensive insurance plan.

Arctic Travel: Travellers should be mindful that search and rescue in the Arctic is difficult. It can take days for help to reach a stranded ship. Travellers should check with the tour operator on their medical support plans and emergency arrangements.

Local Laws

Declare all food, plant, and animal products to customs authorities on arrival in Canada. Inadmissible goods may be confiscated or disposed of. Failure to declare any of these products is an offence. More information is available from the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), including at https://inspection.canada.ca/food-safety-for-consumers/travellers/eng/1389630031549/1389630282362.
