Canada

Canada offers an amazing array of hunting for a variety of major species, such as wolves, bears and caribou. It is recognized worldwide as having one of the best wildlife management and conservation programs.

Spanning six time zones, Canada consists of 10 independent provinces and three territories united under a federal parliamentary system. Its territory stretches from the ice floes of the Arctic Circle across vast stretches of tundra, rugged mountains, open plains, dense forests and thousands of lakes. Hunting opportunities exist throughout the country, including numerous species of predators, deer, waterfowl and upland game.

Languages

English and French (French spoken in the province of Quebec, throughout Atlantic Canada and in scattered francophone communities further west)

Entry Requirements

  • Americans – US Passport Card or Passport Book with one blank page. No visa required for stays under 180 days.
  • Other Travelers – Electronic Travel Authorization or a visitor visa is required. Travelers from Europe, the Middle East and Africa must provide biometrics. For more information on entering Canada visit the Government of Canada website.

Criminal Background Checks

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service conducts criminal background checks at the border using computer databases. Travelers with any convictions for felonies or misdemeanors, including driving while impaired (DUI), will be refused entry to Canada. Canada treats DUI as a serious crime.

See the Canada Border Services Agency webpage on Inadmissibility for information on what could make travelers inadmissible and how to overcome those issues. Applications to be considered “rehabilitated” require a year or more to process, so travelers with any questionable legal records should plan this far in advance of a trip to Canada. Also, at least five years must have passed since the offense or since a completed sentence.

Temporary Import of a Firearm

All firearms must be properly declared to an agent of the Canada Border Services Agency upon entering Canada. For details on temporarily importing a firearm for a hunting trip to Canada click here.
