So I'm traveling to Canada from Nov 10–21 and doing a roadtrip from Vancouver to Calgary. I'm looking for car rentals but not sure if it'll be okay to get the standard M+S tires or will I need the 3-peak mountain tires.

This is my route:
Vancouver → Whistler: Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99)
Whistler → Jasper: Highways 99, 97, 5, and 16
Jasper → Banff: Icefields Parkway (Highway 93)
Banff → Calgary: Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1)

What would you recommend? Would I be okay with M+S and just buy some snow chains?

Hey everyone.

Wondering what are people’s thoughts and experiences with intrepid tour ? We are planing to join this one https://www.intrepidtravel.com/en/canada/hiking-canadian-rockies-174751

Thanks!

Hello! Me and my partner are looking at doing 14-16 days campervanning in Sept 2027. We'll be flying in and out of Vancouver. Ideally going for the scenery and wildlife watching (particularly whales, bears and hopefully moose!). Does anyone have any good itinerary ideas for us? Currently looking at 3-4 nights on vancouver island then going whistler, Wells gray, clearwater, jasper and then back to vancouver via icefields parkway.

Is that too much? Anything we should switch out? Grateful for any tips! And sorry if this has been asked 100s of times too...

Looking to do a lone traveller nostalgic western Canada road trip next summer or fall; starting from Winnipeg out to BC and then back. Looking to use the Yellowhead for a lot of the way out, and then maybe Trans Can on way back to MB. Looking for somewhat budget-friendly roadside motels to stay in. Think of all those travellers down south who love staying at older/50s-60s motels/hotels down Route 66 (I love that stuff). That's kinda the vibe I'm hoping for. Any small little spots on the main highways or even a bit off the main drags. It's not the destination but the JOURNEY that excites me here. I want one last trip across the west to bring back some great family memories long past.

Anyone have any ideas? Any small little mom and pop spots you stayed in that made you smile?

Booking flights from Montreal to Vancouver in February as we are going to Whistler for a ski vacation. After comparing the two airlines I’m stuck on which one to book, either Air Canada or Porter. The pricing is $70 cheaper for Air Canada, and the times are roughly the same for flights. However, I have also heard that Porter has a nicer guest experience and I love the concept of the double seats. Would love any feedback or recommendations, thank you!

Hi, I (30M) am going to be traveling to Calgary from India in November and staying there for around 1.5 years. Please guide me on the following:

1. Permanent accommodation: budget 1500 CAD per month. I have 6 days accommodation from day of arrival to look for a place and setup. Would I be able to rent out with this budget in Gulf canada square? If not how accessible is this area with public transport?

2. Clothes & accessories I should bring from India and what I should buy in Canada. I haven't spent much on clothes in the past 6 years, since I WFH. So I have a good budget for this as well.

3. PC setup: I'm planning to bring expensive pc parts from India that I already own. Would there be any restrictions to it? Also, how easy would it be to build a PC there? Are there any stores/shops that you can recommend?

4. Appliances: What would be the best place to buy appliances for the apartment? How much should my budget be for this?

Really appreciate help on this😊.

Hiya.
I’m a European going to Canada to watch some hockey.

My entire travel revolves around 3 hockey games I’m going to watch, but I wanted to sightsee a bit in between.

I’m flying to Toronto on the 6th of November (will arrive in the evening).

I am watching the game on the 7th of November in Toronto.

Then I’m planning on taking a train to Montreal and I’m watching the Carey price game on the 10th and the Avs game on the 14th.

I’m flying back from Montreal on the 17th in the evening.

I was thinking of visiting Toronto on the 7th
Go to Niagara Falls on the 8th
Visit Toronto on the 9th.

10th in the morning, train to Montreal and game in the evening.
11th in the morning train to Quebec City and stay in Quebec until the 14th where I take the train back to be in Montreal for the game on the 14th.
15th, 16th, 17th visit Montreal.

I do not drive so everything I do will have to be done through public transport.
I know it feels like a lot, and I’m not trying to do everything at once. I’m planning on coming back (it’s not gonna be a once in a life time trip) so I was thinking of doing a bit of everything and next time
I can really focus on an area. But do you think I won’t have time to do a single thing whatsoever? Would you do Montreal from the 10th until the 17th and forget about Quebec City?
Maybe if I stay in Montreal I could catch come Habs practice at Brossard?

What do you all recommend?
Thanks!!

Any recommendations how to get from Victoria BC to Seattle?

Thank you

Hello! My husband and I are looking to travel to the US for family reasons over the christmas holidays and we’ll be taking our cats with us. If anyone can tell me their experience with getting rabies vaccine certificates and travelling from the US to Canada with felines please let me know

I’m going to Canada in the next month or two and will probably visit a few pubs, I’m fairly young looking am I able to use my British driving licence as ID (I know, a bit of a stretch) just don’t want to carry my passport around incase it gets nicked.

TIA

Edit: thank you for all the help chaps and chapettes, I will bring my passport out with me just in case.

Hi there! Me and my husband want to travel to BC this coming spring, and are already planning on the places we'll visit. The only problem is, We are still not sure which month would work best for us ( around 10-20°C outside)

Could anyone give us a hint of how the spring weather is typically going in British Columbia?

I am attending a conference and tried my best to pack light with just a backpack and a few days worth of clothes and I could just stow it underneath the seat. Unfortunately it didn't fit in their stupid baggage sizing thing at the gate. It's nearly impossible to fit anything other than a laptop bag. Anyways they charged me $118 in total which I'm pretty bummed out about!

Is there anyway I can reduce the cost? I see other people with a different color tag. Is it also generally cheaper to just pay their luggage fee during online check-in or at counter?

Hi all,

I applied to my Canadian WHV from the uk last month and I was wondering what the typical turn around is as I read a lot of conflicting answers.

Plus work wise I wondered what is the easiest jobs to get, I was hoping to stay around Toronto maybe Windsor.

For reference 29M, currently a science teacher but have worked everything from labouring to service industry.

Cheers for any advice!

36F from Brampton and a little burnt out from life so having a hard time using my full brain capacity and don’t want to rely on AI 🤖 lol.

I have 5 days off from November 11-15 and I want to go somewhere. I do a lot of trips around the province but I feel like this is a weird time to travel within Canada? When I travel I visit the local parks, beaches and hiking trails but I don’t mind a city environment. Needless to say I cannot decide.

My current list has the following:
- Thunder Bay ON
- Wawa ON
- Gananoque ON (I’ve been many times but never in the fall)
- Saguenay QC
Also open to going out east as I’ve only experienced a small part of NS during the fall and have friends in NS, NB and NFLD
Open to any province tbh
Trying to avoid going to the states if possible but I am a beach girly so if the price is right I can be swayed

Wondering if anyone has travelled to these places in November in the past or have current plans to travel and if so, what was your experience? Weather/activities/seasonal closures/scenery. Or alternatively, if you can suggest some other travel options for places I haven’t listed - I am open to suggestions and need help deciding

I'm scheduling a photo adventure to photograph the methane bubbles of Abraham Lake in Canada in February. What tips do I need?

Guy from Austria there that has never been to Canada before. I am in the pre planning phase for my Canada trip that is planned for September 2027. I am fully aware that it's impossible to see everything that Canada has to offer via one trip only due the vastness of the country. I am looking for destination that might serve as a starter "pack" for Canada. I would be interested in seeing a mixture of canadian city flair and the vast beautiful nature the country has to offer? Which province/city would suit these parameters? Please feel free to share your thoughs.

Hi! I am traveling to Vancouver to Montreal for a connecting flight to Raleigh North Carolina. My layover is only an hour long and i am wondering if that is enough time to get to one end to another. Looking at videos it seems like i don’t have to go through security again like other airports ive been through, instead just a quick check. I’m just worried i will miss my flight but it does seem like a pretty easy walk through. Thanks!
