OverviewOverviewOverviewSecurity statusNormal Precautions Latest Travel AlertCitizens planning travel abroad should take into account the ongoing risk of testing positive for COVID-19 while abroad and are advised to take out comprehensive travel insurance that includes COVID-19 cover. Before departure and during travel, citizens are advised to monitor our Travel Advice, follow us on Twitter, and register with their nearest Irish Embassy or Consulate. Travel to CanadaThere are no COVID-19 restrictions in place for travel to Canada from Ireland. There is no requirement to present certificates of vaccination/testing for COVID-19, or to complete a Passenger Locator Form. Departing CanadaProof of COVID-19 vaccination is no longer required to board a plane or train in Canada. If you are in Canada, you should monitor developments regularly and follow the advice of local authorities. See links to relevant websites below. Contact Information for Public Health Authorities Global Affairs Canada Travel Advisories Health Canada General Travel AdviceIrish visitors to Canada are reminded of the importance of adhering to the terms and conditions of your Canadian visa. The local laws apply to you as a visitor and it is your responsibility to follow them. IMPORTANT NOTICE: REQUIREMENT FOR VISA-EXEMPT FOREIGN NATIONALS TRAVELLING TO CANADA BY AIR Canada has introduced an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals flying to or transiting through Canada. Passengers who do not require a visa to fly to Canada need to apply for an eTA. This includes passengers travelling on an Irish passport. Applying for an eTA is a simple, inexpensive ($7 Canadian) online process that takes minutes to complete. To apply, passengers must have a valid passport, a credit card, and an e-mail address. An eTA is electronically linked to a passenger’s passport and once approved, it is valid for 5 years or until passport expiry. Passengers who arrive at the airport without an eTA should expect to experience delays in their travels, and may not be allowed to board their flight. For this reason, passengers should apply for their eTA before booking your flight to Canada. For more information or to apply for an eTA, visit the following link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/eta/apply.html Note:
Irish-Canadian dual citizens please note carefully: Dual citizens, who hold Canadian citizenship and citizenship from a visa-exempt country such as Ireland, cannot apply for an eTA because eTA was set up to screen foreign visitors for admissibility to enter Canada. If you are a dual Irish-Canadian citizen you cannot apply for an eTA on your Irish passport and must enter Canada on a valid Canadian passport. You may be denied boarding if you attempt to travel using your Irish passport. To prepare for these changes, dual citizens are strongly encouraged to apply for a Canadian passport. This will prevent delays during travel and help ensure dual Canadian citizens are treated according to the rules that apply to Canadian citizens. Note: As it can take time to get a Canadian passport, IRCC encourages Canadian citizens, including dual citizens, to renew or obtain these documents as soon as they can and before leniency period ends. Find out more about travel documents for dual Canadian citizens flying to Canada. Irish citizens who are permanent residents (PRs) of Canada please note carefully: Permanent residents (PRs) of Canada are not eligible to apply for an eTA. Canadian PRs must carry and present their valid PR card or Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) when boarding a flight to Canada or travelling to Canada on any other commercial carrier. If your PR card expires, it does not mean you have lost permanent resident status, however it is your responsibility to apply for a new PR card when your current card expires. If you need to replace or renew your permanent resident card, make sure to plan ahead and check the processing times. If you have lived outside of Canada for many years and are not sure whether you are still a Canadian permanent resident, see “How long must I stay in Canada to keep my permanent resident status” to review the residency requirement details. The best help is often close at hand so if you have problems, start by talking to your local contacts, tour operator representative or hotel management. Our emergency assistance guidelines give useful information. Safety and SecuritySafety and SecuritySafety and securityTerrorism Although the threat from terrorism in Canada is low, there is still a global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by tourists and expatriates. Crime
Petty theft As with any country, crimes such as mugging, bag-snatching and pickpocketing are not uncommon in Canadian cities and towns. However, most visits to Canada are trouble-free. Reporting crime If you’re a victim of a crime while in Canada, report it to the local police immediately and get a police report. You’ll need this if you’re applying for areplacement passport or making an insurance claim. You can contact us at the Irish Embassy in Ottawa if you need help. Driving If you’re planning to drive in Canada, be aware that cars drive on the right side of the road but otherwise road safety conditions are fairly similar to Ireland. If you want to drive:
Vehicle hire If you’re hiring a vehicle, we advise you not to hand over your passport as a form of security. If you’re allowing your passport to be photocopied, keep it in your sight at all times. Check that you have adequate insurance and read the small print of the vehicle hire contract (particularly any waiver that will come into effect if the vehicle is damaged). Local Laws and CustomsLocal Laws and CustomsLocal laws and customsRemember, the local laws apply to you as a visitor and it is your responsibility to follow them.
