Canada — Useful tips for your trip
Canada's currency is the dollar (CAD). Cards and tap-to-pay work almost everywhere, so you barely need cash. Note that sales tax is added at the till, not shown on price tags, and tipping around 15-20% is expected in restaurants, bars and taxis.
Distances between towns are huge, especially in the Rockies and out west. Download offline Google Maps for your whole route before you set off — the Icefields Parkway and long stretches between towns have no signal at all.
Weather swings by season and region: winters can be extremely cold (below -20°C on the prairies and in the Rockies), while summers are warm. Pack layers, check the forecast for your dates, and in winter carry proper cold-weather gear.
Canada uses 120V with Type A and B sockets — the same flat-pin plugs as the USA. Travellers from the US need no adapter; others should bring one, and most modern chargers handle the voltage automatically.
Tap water in Canada is safe and pleasant to drink everywhere, so bring a reusable bottle and refill it rather than buying bottled. In the cities, Uber and Lyft work well alongside good public transit, all easy to use on your eSIM data.
In Québec, French is the main language, and signage and service are often in French first. Keep a translation app on your eSIM if you don't speak it — but a friendly 'bonjour' goes a long way, and most people in tourist areas also speak English.
In the national parks, you'll often be out of signal, so plan around it: download park maps offline, tell someone your route, and be bear-aware on trails. Your eSIM covers the towns and trailhead areas but not the deep backcountry.
