| Useful
Information For Visitors |
Credit Cards - Most major
credit cards are welcome in Canada. Debit cards are also
widely accepted at many establishments. Currency - We
recommend that visitors use Canadian funds. It is best to
exchange your money at financial institutions such as banks,
trust companies and currency exchanges. Currency exchange
offices can be found at most airports and at some provincial
travel information centres. Other businesses such as hotels
and stores will exchange your currency but the rate is not
generally as good as at a financial institution.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Refund - Visitors from outside Canada may claim a refund
of the seven per cent federal GST (Goods and Services Tax)
on accumulated purchases of a minimum of $200, provided that
each receipt is at least $50 in goods before tax and that
the goods are taken out of Canada within 60 days of
purchase. GST charged on hotel and motel accommodation is
also eligible for refund. Excluded items are consumable
goods, transportation, services, rentals, campsites, cruise
ship cabins and train berths.

and Immigration |
American visitors crossing the
border, either way, may be asked to verify their citizenship
with such documents as a passport, or a birth or baptismal
certificate. Naturalized U.S. citizens should carry a
naturalization certificate. Permanent U.S. residents who are
not U.S. citizens are advised to bring their "green
card". For citizens of certain countries Canada
requires a visitors visa to be obtained from their nearest
Canadian Consulate before entry into Canada. Travellers
should check to see if this is required of them before their
trip.
Travellers under the age of 18 and
unaccompanied by a parent need a letter of permission to
travel in Canada from a parent or guardian.

| Health
Insurance |
Visitors are strongly urged to obtain
medical travel insurance before coming to Canada. Make sure
your health insurance will cover your costs outside of your
home country, or purchase medical travel insurance from a
travel agent. If you are taking medicine prescribed by your
doctor, bring an adequate supply and a copy of the
prescription in case it needs to be renewed by a doctor in
Canada.
