To limit the spread of COVID-19, many countries have put in place travel or border restrictions and other measures such as movement restrictions and quarantines. Airlines have cancelled flights. New restrictions may be imposed with little warning. Your travel plans may be severely disrupted and you may be forced to remain outside of Canada longer than expected.

Registration of Canadians Abroad
Registration of Canadians Abroad is a free service that allows the Government of Canada to notify you in case of an emergency abroad or a personal emergency at home. We strongly encourage Canadians to register to receive important information if you still choose to travel during the non-essential travel recommendations. If you register, the Government of Canada can contact you quickly in case of emergency. The service also enables you to receive important information before or during a natural disaster or civil unrest.
