Know before you go
This chapter gives you essential information on how to prepare for your trip to Canada.
Welcome to Canada!
Consider the size of Canada Made up of 10 provinces and 3 territories, Canada is the second largest country in the world; only Russia is larger. The land plus freshwater area of Canada is 9,984,670 square kms (or 3,855 174 sq miles). The capital of Canada ’ s most westerly province, Victoria, is 4,491 kilometers (2,791 miles) from Toronto and a whopping 7,403 kilometers (4601 miles) from the most easterly capital, St. John ’ s Newfoundland. Time zones
There are six Canadian time zones in total, with a four and a half hour (yes, half an hour!) time difference from St John ’ s in Newfoundland in the east to Vancouver in BC all the way in the west. The east of Canada has the least time difference compared to Europe, and the west has the longest, with Pacific Standard Time 8 hours behind GMT.
Canada ’ s Culture What makes Canada truly special is its people and their culture. Friendly, outgoing and welcoming are just some of the words visitors have used to describe Canadians. Over the course of history, this country has been cultivated by people from across the globe. Their impact on the country can be seen in Canada ’ s wide range of colourful streetscapes, historical landmarks, mouth-watering cuisines, enthralling music and in its symphony
of languages. Reconciliation Our future, and the well-being of all our children rests with the kind of relationships we build today - Chief Dr. Robert Joseph Orange Shirt Day is a chance, every year on September 30th, for communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation, to educate and learn about the history and lasting impact of the residential school system. Reconciliation at its core is establishing and maintaining a mutually respectful relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in this country, and is tied to the federal government's relationship with Indigenous peoples.
The term describes attempts made to raise awareness about colonization and its ongoing effects on Indigenous peoples. Reconciliation also refers to efforts made to address the harms caused by various policies and programs of colonization, such as residential schools. Reconciliation represents an opportunity to reflect on the past, to heal and to make right. Tourism is a gateway for those looking to learn more about Indigenous communities, their culture and their history. Throughout this Travel Book we will inform you of authentic Indigenous experiences, and our commitment is to continuously expand our content with and about Indigenous Nations and operators. Weather Canadian weather varies greatly from region to region and season to season. From rainforest to desert and everything in between, Canada has it all. With most communities situated in the south and along the southern reaches of the eastern and western coastlines, tourists will find Canada's climate is not as cold all year as some may believe. In winter, temperatures fall below freezing throughout most of Canada, but the south-western coast has a relatively mild climate. Along the Arctic Circle, mean temperatures are below freezing for seven months a year, but few will visit here. During the summer months, the southern provinces often experience high levels of humidity and temperatures can often reach 30°C. The west coast of British Columbia, including Vancouver, has a moderate climate year-round and thus the seasons are less distinct from one another. Overall, the west coast has summers that aren't as warm nor winters that are as bitterly cold as say Toronto or Montreal. In the Rockies, winter is long and snow is possible until May or so. From then on, snow stays around only in the higher altitudes. Banff and Canmore may get two feet in April or May. Page 5
Summer in Canada is generally May/June to August/September with hot, humid weather often arriving earlier and staying later than this in central and eastern Canadian cities like Toronto and Montreal. West coast summers are more moderate, with less humidity and cooler evenings. Western and south-eastern Canada can experience rainfall, but the Prairies are dry with 250 mm to 500 mm of rain every year. Canada's northern regions, logically, have cooler summers, but ones that are generally comfortable and sunny. Some northern locales, like Whitehorse, Dawson City or Edmonton have daylight for between 17 and 20 hours. In central and eastern Canada, cooler temperatures in September provide relief from the heat and humidity of August. The weather in the western provinces is also very enjoyable at that time of year. Passes for National Parks in Canada and USA Within its 10 provinces and 3 territories, Canada has an incredible number of parks for your enjoyment. There are 38 national parks in Canada and over one thousand provincial and territorial parks. To enjoy the national parks, you need to purchase a Discovery Pass. When you ’ re visiting national parks for 7 or more days, we recommend purchasing an annual pass. One annual adult pass costs $72.25. Family and group passes are priced at $145.25 (2022 prices). Passholders have unlimited access to nearly 80 national parks, historic sites, and marine conservation areas across the country that normally charge entry fees. Discovery Passes can be purchased on site and should be displayed on vehicle rear view mirrors. Provincial and Territorial Parks are usually free to enter but services (camping etc.) typically have a fee. Travelling to the national parks in the USA? You need an ‘ America the Beautiful ’ pass for entering. US$80 per vehicle. Can be purchased on-site. Before you leave If you ’ re visiting Canada you ’ ll need an eTA to board your flight unless you ’ re otherwise exempted (for example, if you have a valid Canadian visa or a permanent resident card). Most permissions will be granted within minutes of applying and costs CA $7 which can be paid by credit card or INTERAC Online. Applicants will need to input biographic, passport and other personal information via the website www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp However, you do not need an eTA if entering Canada by land or sea, for instance driving from the U.S. or coming by bus, train, or boat, including cruise ship. Driver ’ s license You need to bring your valid driver ’ s license and as long as it's printed in English or French, it ’ s not obligated to bring an international driving license. However, we do recommend bringing an international driver ’ s license, especially when crossing the border into the USA. Covid Restrictions NOTE: restrictions are subject to change without notice, and information below might be inaccurate at moment of travel. Under the current Covid-19 restrictions you are eligible to enter Canada if: • You qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller Note: • Upon arrival you may be selected for a random test • Set up your ArriveCAN account before you travel (more below) For more information: • https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid • https://travel.destinationcanada.com/covid-19-traveller-guidance • https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada Must-have Documents Passport Your passport should be valid for the entire stay in Canada.

ArriveCAN Before you travel to Canada, use the ArriveCAN App to submit your proof of vaccination, your pre-entry COVID-19 molecular PCR test result and your required travel information and quarantine plan information. Your quarantine plan can simply be the name and address of your first hotel in Canada. You'll need to submit your information within 72 hours before your arrival to Canada. It ’ s free and only takes a few minutes. You can find the ArriveCAN App here: Apple Store: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/arrivecan/id1505394667 Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.gc.cbsa.coronavirus ArriveCAN Online: https://arrivecan.cbsa-asfc.cloud-nuage.canada.ca/welcome
Have your ArriveCAN receipt (either on your mobile device or a printed copy), pre-entry COVID-19 molecular test results and proof of vaccination (paper or digital files) ready for assessment by a Border Services Officer when you arrive in Canada. Tip: print all documents (ArriveCAN receipt, test results and vaccination documentation) before you leave, just in case of a technical malfunction. Immunizations & Vaccinations in Canada With the exception of Covid-19 vaccination, t here is no need to receive special immunization or vaccinations before visiting Canada. You can always check with your family doctor if you have any concerns, particularly if you are travelling with children. Travel insurance We would highly recommend you have travel insurance as medical treatment in North America can be very expensive. What to bring

Your flight
Declaration Card If you arrive at selected international airports, you can make an on screen declaration using a Primary Inspection Kiosk. Scan your travel document, take your photo and answer a few questions to complete your declaration. If you arrive at an airport without the kiosks, you will receive a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Declaration Card to complete before you land. Don ’ t forget to bring a pen in your carry-on baggage! The Declaration Card tells Canadian officials what they need to know about you, your travels and what you are bringing into the country. You can list up to four people living at the same residence on one card. If there are more than four people living at your address, use one additional card for each additional group of four or fewer people. The card will be checked by the customs officers, together with your passport, and needs to be handed in before you leave the airport. Be sure . . . declare everything
Page 7
What can you bring into the country? Alcoholic beverages
Travelers of 19 years of age and older (in Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec 18 years and older) are allowed to bring into Canada only one of the following amounts of alcohol and alcoholic beverages free of duty and taxes: Up to 1.5 liters (53 ounces) of wine (2 bottles of 750 ml), or up to 1,14 liters (40 ounces) of liquor (large standard bottle), or up to 8.5 liters (287 ounces) of beer (24 cans or bottles). Tobacco Travelers of 18 years and older are allowed to bring into Canada all of the following amounts of tobacco free of duty and taxes: 200 cigarettes 50 cigars 200 grams (7 ounces) of manufactured tobacco or tobacco sticks. Prohibited & Restricted Items by Canada Customs Many agricultural items are restricted or prohibited entry to Canada. Canadian law requires that you declare all agricultural products you bring into Canada to customs officers when you arrive. Handguns and weapons, such as mace and pepper spray, are prohibited from entering Canada. In addition, some fruits, vegetables, honey, eggs, meats, dairy products and plants from other countries cannot be brought into Canada. Money You must declare any currency or monetary instruments you have valued at CA $10,000 or more. This amount includes Canadian or foreign currency or a combination of both. Gifts Gifts valued at CA $60 or less each may be brought into Canada duty free and tax free.

Money
Cash Canada uses the Canadian dollar, unlike its neighbour to the south that uses the U.S. dollar. Canadian bills or bank notes are commonly available in $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 dollar denominations. The five-dollar bill is blue, ten dollar is purple, twenty dollar is green, fifty dollar is red and the hundred dollar bill is brown. The paper bills have been replaced by plastic bills, which are much more complicated to counterfeit. The bills are very thin and tend to stick together, so be careful! The $1 and $2 bills have been replaced with coins (the loonie and the toonie). Canadian coins include the loonie, toonie, 25¢ quarter, 10¢ dime, 5¢ nickel. There is no longer a penny coin (1¢), so amounts are rounded up or down to the closest 5¢.
Most laundry machines are coin operated, so keep a few loonies and toonies to do your laundry. Which comes in handy for dump stations too. Credit card Most merchants accept credit cards. Visa and MasterCard are the most popular. American Express is not as widely accepted. When you rent a camper or check in at a hotel, a credit card authorization is required. Be aware that most cards charge a transaction fee for foreign currency transactions. Sometimes 3%. You'll want to check with your credit card company on their fee. You should not use your credit card to withdraw money from an ATM, because the fees and interest charges are very high. It's a wise precaution to phone your bank and credit card company before you leave home and let them know you'll be traveling in a foreign country. If you fail to warn them, they may notice unusual transactions on your cards and they may freeze your account. Debit card Always call your bank to tell them you will be using your bank cards in Canada. Most debit cards issued by non-Canadian banks will not work in Canada to make retail purchases. However, they can be used to withdraw Canadian currency from ATMs in Canada. Withdrawal and exchange rate fees usually apply but will vary depending on your bank. Try to make cash withdrawals at major banks where user Page 8
fees are not quite as hefty as at the small ATMs you find at retail outlets (like stores and restaurants) and typically add a 3 to 5 dollar transaction fee. Tipping Tipping is not mandatory, but generally expected because most of the service providers receive a relatively low base pay. Generally, when you are receiving services, such as from wait staff, hairdressers, cab drivers, hotel employees, and others, you are expected to give an extra bit of money in addition to the stated cost. Taxi: Tour guide: Anywhere between 10% - 20% of the fare Couple of dollars $2 to $5 per day or lump sum at end of stay Be sure to check whether a tip is included in the cost of room service. It is
Chambermaid: Room Service: Restaurants: Bartender:
not necessary to tip on top of this. Otherwise, 15% is common 15% - 20% of the before tax total. Please note, sometimes the tip is already included. Check your receipt! $1 per drink
Please note: In some tourist destinations, "tip jars" have started appearing in places that provide counter service: coffee shops, ice cream shops, cafeterias etc., and even in some retail stores. Foreign visitors who are unaccustomed to Canada may feel that this means that Canadians would normally provide a tip, but that is not so. It is not necessary to tip for counter service, and it is definitely not customary to tip the clerk in retail stores. Whether you put money in such a "tip jar" is entirely your choice, and you will not be rude if you choose not to.
Taxes To international visitors, determining the actual cost of things can be a bit of a problem. In Canada taxes are almost never included on the displayed or advertised prices, so visitors must remember to include them in their budget calculations. The rates vary by province and territory, as do the goods and services on which the tax is applied and the way the tax is applied. There are 3 taxes in Canada GST: Goods and Services Tax. This federal tax of 5% is added to almost every transaction for consumer goods and services
PST: HST:
Provincial Sales Tax. This tax is added to most consumer products Harmonized Sales Tax. This harmonized tax is charged on goods and services in Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and Newfoundland in place of both the GST and PST
The table below summarizes the current rates of these sales taxes by province and territory Province GST PST HST Alberta 5% - - BC 5% 7% - Manitoba 5% 8% - New Brunswick - - 15% Newfoundland - - 15% NWT 5% - - Nova Scotia - - 15% Nunavut 5% - - Ontario - - 13% PEI - - 15% Quebec 5% 9.975% - Saskatchewan 5% 6% - Yukon 5% - -

No tax Basic groceries are the major exception with no tax. Basic groceries include fresh, frozen, canned and vacuum sealed fruits and vegetables; breakfast cereals; most milk products; fresh meat, poultry, and fish; eggs; and coffee beans. However, non-food items bought in a grocery store are subject to GST, and "junk food" such as pop, chips are subject to GST as well. There ’ s no tax on ferry fares and bridge tolls. Please note: Fuel prices at the pump always include all applicable taxes. Being connected
Internet Public WiFi is readily available in the southern regions of Canada in airports, cafés, libraries, restaurants, some campgrounds. Paid WiFi is offered through select RV Rental companies. These solutions create a hotspot in your vehicle, using a cellular network. Cell phone If you are bringing your cell phone to Canada, the best advice is to call your local cell phone service before you arrive and set up an international plan that is reasonable.
Another option is if your phone is compatible, to unlock it and use a local SIM card. Phones are usually locked so you can only use them with a SIM from the service provider or carrier who supplied the phone. Phones can be unlocked to accept SIMs from other carriers. You can buy a pay-as-you-go SIM card at virtually any Walmart or major grocery store. The phone carriers have many corporate outlets as well. Making a phone call Calls from Canada or USA to international destinations are preceded by 011, followed by the country code, then followed by the full phone number (including city or area code, where applicable). Prepaid cards can be bought at virtually any Walmart or major grocery store. Emergency number Emergency calls may be placed by dialing 911 (nine-one-one) in most areas. All phone calls to 911 are free, including calls made by pay phone or cell phone. There are a few differences between driving in Europe, the UK and Canada. For starters, in Canada you drive on the right-hand side of the road. There are a few other things as well. Safety rules • Drinking and driving is a serious offense. Canada has very strict laws relating to driving under influence. In most provinces, you can have your license suspended if you are caught with a blood alcohol level of .05% or higher. If you got your license less than 2 years ago and/or if you ’ re under 21, you cannot have any alcohol in your blood. • Having liquor readily available to the driver (in the front seat) is a criminal offence. • Drug-impaired driving is a criminal offence. • Distracted driving in Canada is illegal. Gas up in time In some remote locations the distance to the next filling station may be more than 400 km (250 miles). Don't set out without a full tank! Driving in Canada
Page 10
Traffic rules • Canada operates the four-way intersections (when there are stop signs at all corners), where cars have right of way according to who arrives at the intersection first: • The first vehicle to arrive at the intersection and come to a complete stop should go first. • If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the one on the right should go first. • If two vehicles are facing each other and have arrived at the intersection at about the same time, the one making a left turn should yield to the one going straight through. • Drivers approaching a stopped emergency vehicle, including tow trucks, displaying flashing lights must slow down to 60 kph or the maximum speed limit, whichever is lower, and if traffic permits, move over into the adjacent lane in order to pass by. • If a police car or ambulance is behind you with sirens, give way to them by pulling over to the side of the road. • If you are stopped by the police while driving in Canada, stay seated in your car and switch the engine off. Wait for further instructions from the police officer. Do not attempt to do anything yourself. Always be polite and well mannered. • Yield to a transit bus that is signaling to move out the bus stop.
• When a school bus is stopped and its red lights are flashing, you must bring your vehicle to a stop more than 20 meters/yards from the bus, regardless of whether you are behind the bus or approaching it from the front. Don ’ t move forward until the red lights have stopped flashing. If you are on a divided road, only vehicles behind the bus must stop. Roundabouts On roundabouts (traffic circles), drivers in the roundabout (coming from the left) have right of way. Go around the traffic circle to the right (that is, in a counter clockwise direction). Lines on the road White lines separate traffic travelling in the same direction. Yellow lines separate traffic travelling in opposite directions. Parking • It ’ s illegal to park within 5 meters/yards of a fire hydrant or driveway. • It ’ s illegal to park within 6 meters/yards of a crosswalk, intersection, stop sign, traffic light. • It ’ s illegal to park where the curb is painted yellow or red. • Park in the direction of the traffic. On a one-way street, vehicles may park with the driver ’ s side against the curb as long as the vehicle is facing in the same direction as the one-way traffic. • If you park your vehicle in a zone that enforces a maximum time limit, make sure you adhere to these regulations as someone will be watching you! Speed limits Speed limits vary depending on where you are driving in Canada. The speed is measured in kilometers per hour (km/hr), which might be a bit confusing for someone who's not used to the metric system. Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit in Canada is 50km/hr (31 mi) in cities and 80km/hr (50 mi) on highways. On rural highways, the posted speed limit may be 90 or 100km/hr. Speed limit violators can be caught on speed cameras and radar traps. A lesser known rule is that once five or more cars have formed a line behind the slower driver, the driver is required to pull off the roadway at the earliest safe opportunity to let the following cars pass. Headlights Depending on which province you are driving in, you will need to switch on your headlights even during the day. Most vehicles are equipped with running daylights (DRL, ‘ Daytime Running Lights ’). Please note, these lights do not operate in the rear. Always turn on your lights with poor visibility conditions and at night!
Page 11
Traffic Lights • You are allowed to turn right on red, unless otherwise noted. Come to a complete stop first. It ’ s prohibited at intersections where a sign indicates that turning right on red is not allowed. In Montreal and Quebec City, it is always prohibited to turn right on red. • A red flashing light means, come to a complete stop, then proceed when you can. • In case the traffic lights at an intersection aren ’ t working, treat the intersection as a four-way intersection. Road Signs • There are many stop signs in Canada. It means you have to come to a complete stop. Wait until the way is clear. • This yield sign is a triangle and means that you must let traffic in the intersection, roundabout or any other facility go first and must not proceed until it is safe to do so. A complete stop is not necessary. This sign is used a lot at entrance ramps to highways. • This sign indicates that you are entering a school zone and that children can cross the street. Slow down on schooldays between 8:00AM-5:00PM.
Camping & Wildlife
Campers Code The Camper ’ s Code is all about the responsibility of every single person to create a safe, enjoyable, respectful camping experience for all — people, wildlife, and nature, too. The Campers Code has 9 rules that are really easy to follow: 1 - Respect Wildlife When vacationing in Canada, wildlife sightings can add an exciting wilderness experience. People come from around the world to catch a glimpse of wild animals in their natural habitat, so if you have the good luck to catch sight of an animal, enjoy the moment. However, to prevent your sighting from becoming an encounter, never feed and always keep your distance from wildlife. Marvel at them safely and from a distance with binoculars as animals' behaviour can be unpredictable and they are easily startled. Bear Aware Outside of urban areas, black bears are fairly common. Around campsites they can become a dangerous nuisance. Prevention is better than confrontation. Here are some tips: • Don ’ t keep food outside your vehicle. Clean up any waste. Store all food and scented items inside your vehicle. • Hike during the daylight hours, not at dusk and dawn when the bears are most active. • When possible, travel in groups of 3 or more. Bring bear spray. • Keep small children close by, and pets leashed. • When hiking, biking or trail-running, be sure to make noise to reduce the chances of surprising a bear. If they hear you coming, they will usually leave the area. • If you spot a bear in the distance, do not approach the bear, and make a wide detour around its area, or head in the opposite direction. Do not run, but slowly back away until out of sight. • Don ’ t approach a bear and DON ’ T FEED them! Never.
Page 12
2 - Plan ahead and be prepared Safety first — even if you ’ re RV-ing or going on a hike somewhere very accessible. Anything can happen in wild spaces. Stay safe by adhering to the three Ts: Trip Plan, Train, Take the essentials. Trip plan Decide where you ’ re going and how long you ’ re going for. Train (and know your limits) Prepare, obtain the knowledge and skills you need for the terrain you ’ re embarking on. Know and stay within your limits. Take the essentials No matter how short your outdoor adventure is, always pack the essentials. We recommend: • Flashlight/headlamp + extra batteries • First aid kit • Emergency blanket/shelter • Matches • Signaling device (whistle, mirror, etc.) • Pocket knife • Extra food and water
• Sun protection • Extra clothing • Insect repellent 3 - Take only photos
If it ’ s not yours, don ’ t take it. Nature and all its glory are for everyone to enjoy. Please leave natural and cultural objects undisturbed. We ’ re talking about mushrooms, flowers, and wood, too. If you see it in nature and you just love it so much, then take a photo and leave it in nature. 4 - Control your pets Pets are loveable. They can also negatively impact trails, aggravate park visitors, contaminate natural resources, and impact wildlife. 5 - Respect others Some people go camping for peace and quiet. Some go for family time fun. Some go to play music and chill. Respect your camping neighbours by keeping noise levels low and adhering to posted quiet hours. Here are a few other helpful reminders and tips on how we can all enjoy our camping experience: • Respect other Campers space by not walking through someone else's campsite • Respect Quiet Hours, also when arriving late or leaving early • Follow Campground speed limits • Leave the campsite cleaner than when you first arrived • Don ’ t Leave your outside lights on all night long 6 - Practice fire safety Prevent human-caused wildfires by practicing these three simple (and really important) campfire safety rules: • Respect fire bans; If there is a campfire ban, do not have a campfire under any circumstances. • Never leave a fire unattended; If you ’ re not able to watch the fire, put it out. • Put fires out completely; That means no smoldering and cold to the touch. 100% out. 7 - Store food safely Food and scented items can attract wild animals. Attracting wild animals can lead to personal injury and wildlife being killed. Store all food in a wildlife-proof container or in your RV or car. 8 - Respect staff and signs Staff and signs are here to help. Adhere to their guidance and everyone can stay safe. 9 - Don ’ t litter Littering is not cool nor acceptable under any circumstances. Put all garbage in marked garbage/waste bins. If there are no bins, be kind and take it with you. Learn more: www.camperscode.com
