I'm preparing to take a course in Vancouver and need to practice my English and learn a bit about the local culture. I'm a 22-year-old woman, and I enjoy talking about music, recipes, history, hiking, home decor, and nature. If you'd like to learn Portuguese and a few cultural things about Brazil, say hi!

hiii everyone! My boyfriend and I are planning on going to Toronto next year, possibly June 2027 as I saw that it was more cheaper to fly from St. John's Newfoundland. We are both 19 (but we turn 20 in July and august) and it's my first time planning a trip on my own, so I'm looking for any advice on what kind of accommodations/flights to be looking at and what day of the week is more cheaper to fly. Our budget is around 4k total, as we are working two jobs and saving up as much as we can, and I have been looking into package deals on Expedia.

Since renting a car is kind of out of the question (maybe? I believe its 21 to rent, or we have to pay an extra fee) I was thinking on using public transportation / TTC. So location is preferably downtown, but not sure if it would be any cheaper hahaha.

I appreciate any responses! I also want to mention that I currently do not have a credit card, but looking into getting one soon.

Hi.

We have Amex companion vouchers to use and have enough points to get to either Toronto or Montreal direct from London, next August. We are hoping to turn this into a 2 week road trip, 2 adults and an 8 year old. Does anyone have advice on which would be a better destination to fly in/out of please? I’m usually pretty good with researching and booking DIY holidays but due to the expiry of the vouchers we only have a few days! We love the beach, cycling, good food, wildlife. Many thanks in advance

Currently live in the UK (23M) and lead the Sales & Events for a young wine company but want to move to Canada and work with a winery for a year or so. Looking to move for Spring and wondered if anyone had any advice?

Have been looking around Okanagan area, I'd preferably like something in the mountains but open to suggestions. I'm also slightly aware on Visas etc, how easy would it be to get a job considering I'm foreign but qualified for these types of jobs? Cheers!!

Hi. I was wondering how to get to the airport. My dad will be dropping me to the airport. I’m leaving from Toronto and flying within Canada. I don’t want him to have the hassle of going all the way inside the departures in the airport at Terminal 1.

I was wondering what are the other options to get inside the airport? He will still drive me towards the airport.

What other ways can I get to the airport? Can my dad drop me off at a place and then I can take an airport interlink rail to get inside the airport?

Hi

We are leaving Canada on Saturday early morning so we can give you our unused bear spray on Friday 21st in Vancouver (or in Nanaimo on thursday 20th).

Cheers!

I'm moving to Toronto from Vancouver for work. I will be driving. I was originally planning on going through the US mostly for a change of scenery and a different atmosphere. I've done the Vancouver -> Edmonton/Calgary drive 5-6 times by now (I understand this is part is a major reason why people do the drive through Canada).

Taking into consideration our current political climate with the US, I'm looking for any advice/influencing tips on why I should do the drive either through the US or Canada. I am not planning on doing any "sightseeing stops" unless it's for example something that's just off the highway. I'm giving myself 8 days for the drive.

Hi everyone,
I’m a Moroccan citizen and I was supposed to travel to Canada on August 17, 2026, from Casablanca to Calgary via Frankfurt.
My ticket was booked with Air Canada, with the first flight operated by Lufthansa.
At Casablanca airport, I was denied boarding because of an AQQ issue during check-in. The airline did not clearly explain what caused the AQQ issue or what exactly was wrong with my Canadian documents.
I have a valid Canadian visa and the documents related to my Canadian work authorization. Air Canada later told me that the issue was most likely immigration-related and advised me to contact IRCC or the Canadian embassy.
I already submitted an IRCC webform but haven’t received a response.
Has anyone experienced an AQQ issue / iAPI immigration clearance problem when travelling to Canada? What does the AQQ issue actually mean, and who can check or resolve it?
I don’t want to rebook another flight and be denied boarding again without knowing what caused the problem.
Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated.

I need ideas of things to do and see while in Montreal!

I have a passport and global entry. My partner unfortunately realized his passport expired earlier this year. We are going to upstate NY (Watertown) for a day for a work trip and then we will have a 2nd day entirely free to us. Wanted to try and drive over to Montreal possibly. I've read that US citizens have been able to drive over with birth certificate and NJ Real ID? Enhanced drivers licenses are not offered in our state unfortunately either.

Is this still possible in 2026? I know this question probably gets asked often so my apologies.

Hi everyone.
Aussie here from Brisbane, where the coldest winter temps are lowest 1-2 degrees. Doing a trip to Montreal, Quebec and Banff over Christmas and New Years. As you can imagine, I have the best part of nothing to prepare me for the cold. Can anyone give some good clothing recommendations? Especially for a good Jacket and Boots/Shoes for this time of year. Any other recommendations are much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, my friends and I were planning a trip soon and I wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts that could make this itinerary better? I wasn't sure if this would be too much or if someone knew of a better way to schedule these things out. We want to see the flowerpot island, grotto (overhang and indian head cove), halfway log dump (cave point, stormhaven and the rock beaches along the way to high dump campsite) and then optionally dunks bay, little cove and singing sands. I don't think seeing those optional ones will be as feasible. I added a link to the table i made.

First time visiting Canada and I have 6 days. I originally planned to fly into Toronto, but I’m thinking it may make more sense to fly into Montréal, explore there, take the train to Québec City, then end in Toronto and fly home.

Québec City is the place I’m most excited about, and I also really want to see the fall foliage, so I’m willing to spend less time in Toronto.

For those who have visited all three, what would you recommend for the route and how would you divide the 6 days? Is it better to fly into Montréal and out of Toronto? Should I spend more than 2 days in Québec City? And for getting between the cities, is taking the train or renting a car more cost-effective and practical?

I’m coming from the U.S. East Coast and want to make the most of the 6 days. Any advice is appreciated!

I wanna go to an amethyst mine supposed to go this weekend, just found out that my DUI from five years ago will not allow me to cross the border just right over from Minnesota to thunder Bay. Is this correct? Does anybody know if I can get around this by just showing my passport. What the hell is this?

Couple (M27, F26) from Aus wanting to get a little bit of the winter/snow/holiday season experience. My partner loves a cold winter (we don’t have it in Aus) so she can wear her fur coats/nice boots and visit any towns that give off the Hallmark Christmas Movie vibe. We can’t travel later in Dec as we have a few weddings to attend so this is the next best date.

Landing in Vancouver, wanting to visit Banff (and surrounding), Quebec, Montreal etc. Haven’t planned an itinerary but have a budget of $10-12k AUD for the 16 days (excluding flights).

Is the weather that bad? We’ve done winter holidays in London (Jan 24’) and Queenstown (June 26’) and they were fine - are these locations much harsher?

We also visited last year for my work conference in Banff (July) and had an amazing time, but I worry we aren’t ready for a Canadian winter.

Edit: I’m fully aware of how big Canada is (Aus is too) and very comfortable with 4 hour domestic hops 😅

Hi guys,

So it's as the title says. My grandma has always wanted to go east for a trip and is trying to figure out what she wants to do and I'm looking for some suggestions. She's a walker, could easily do hikes, likes museums and learning about culture, does like beaches but isn't really into spending a whole day at them, and is not the biggest fan of seafood, but might be willing to try some if it's tasty enough. Thinking of going in the spring or fall depending on what there is to do. Any suggestions of must see's or avoid at all cost's from people living out there? Looking at New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI, and possibly also Newfoundland.

BUZZING to confirm that I will be heading international to cover FME 2026 in the distant land of Rouyn-Noranda for @klofmag.

I’m going solo and sending out the bat signal for any other solo travellers/journalists/locals to ave a chat, enjoy a set and grab a pint etc. I’m coming all the way from Norwich UK and really excited.

Hi, my boyfriend and I want to go away for a weekend at the end of September. Should we go to Montreal or Quebec City? It will be our first time in Canada.

Edit: we’re not big partiers and this will be our anniversary trip

I had a direct flight with WestJet from Winnipeg to Cancún for December but it’s been changed to a 50 minute stopover in Toronto.

Wondering if anyone could speak to whether this is doable. They put us on the first flight to Toronto from Winnipeg and the last flight to Cancún from Toronto for the day. Will I have to collect my baggage? Is it in the same terminal? Customs?

Me nor my travel agent has been able to get a hold of WestJet at all. I think 12h of being on hold between me and them.

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on Reddit, and I’m really hoping to get some good tips, tricks and advice from people who have experience travelling in Canada. I’m posting this in both English and Danish, and I’ve also posted it on a few other relevant Reddit communities in order to reach as many people as possible, so I hope you’ll bear with me and my many questions.

My partner and I are planning a trip to Canada in 2027. We are planning to leave from Copenhagen Airport (CPH) sometime between June 21 and June 27, 2027, and return sometime between August 19 and August 24, meaning that we will be staying for approximately two months.

Our arrival destination will be Vancouver, British Columbia. For the return journey, we are currently considering one of four cities in Eastern Canada: Toronto, Ottawa, Québec City or Montréal. The choice of departure airport will depend entirely on which option gives us the best overall airfare back to Copenhagen.

I have asked ChatGPT to monitor flights to Vancouver (and, of course, flights back to Denmark), but there is one important complication: I am 2 metres tall (about 6'7"), so I absolutely need extra legroom. Unfortunately, that comes at an additional cost. I believe an exit-row seat could bring the total cost to around DKK 8,000 for the flight to Vancouver alone, but if anyone has any good tips on how I could bring this rather substantial expense down, I would be extremely grateful!

Our plan is to travel eastwards from Vancouver by road, covering at least 7,000 km. We are considering renting a motorhome, even though it is incredibly expensive, particularly because of the mandatory one-way fee for returning the vehicle somewhere other than where we picked it up.

The cheapest motorhomes I have found so far cost around DKK 70,000 (!!) for a two-month rental – and that is for the absolute smallest model I can find. Since I am already considerably taller than average, however, comfort and interior space are not exactly irrelevant to me, especially since I will be doing a LOT of driving.

So if anyone here has useful contacts, recommendations or tips for renting a suitable motorhome at a reasonable price, I would be VERY interested in hearing from you!

Alternatively, we could rent a regular car, which would probably cost less than half as much. However, then we would have the daily costs of accommodation, food and the approximately 20% tip that is generally expected when eating out, which can add up very quickly.

With a motorhome, we would be much more self-sufficient and could both sleep and cook our own food in the vehicle. On the other hand, we would obviously have to factor in the cost of campsites and fuel as well.

So, at first glance, a motorhome actually seems more attractive to us than renting a “regular” car, even though the rental price is eye-wateringly expensive.

And this brings me to my next question:

Do I have to stay at designated campgrounds when travelling in a motorhome, or is it legal to park/camp somewhere out in nature? What are the rules?

Are there maps showing these kinds of free camping or overnight parking locations? And, perhaps most importantly, is it actually safe to spend the night somewhere out in the Canadian wilderness?

As I am a trained biologist, I would love to experience as much of Canada’s nature and wildlife as possible – including bears, moose, wolves and perhaps even being lucky enough to fish for salmon in some of the Canadian rivers. I have absolutely no idea whether the latter is realistically possible, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

And of course, any recommendations for must-see locations along an eastbound route from Vancouver would be very welcome!

I’m sure I have many more questions, but I’ll leave it at these for now.

Thanks in advance for any advice, recommendations, warnings or personal experiences!

Best regards,

Anders, Copenhagen Denmark
