Thanks to the Canadian passport, which is the fifth most powerful in the world according to Henley Passport Index, more than 100 countries across the globe offer visa-free entry to Canadians. And, many of these nations are some of the top-rated tourist spots in the world.
Some popular destinations where visas are not required are France and its territories, Germany, Greece, Belgium, the United States, South Africa, Spain, Bahamas, New Zealand, Morocco, Iceland, Japan etc. Apart from these, there are many other amazing nations where travel for Canadians is visa-free.
There are a couple of nations that do not allow Canadians a visa-free entry but do make their travel much convenient by offering them visa on arrival. Some of these nations are Ethiopia, Egypt, Zimbabwe, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Nepal, Lebanon, Laos, Qatar, Cambodia, and some others.
