Visa-free travel for Canadian passport holders
According to the Passport Index, more than 170 countries grant visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to Canadian passport holders.
Where visa-free access is permitted, such access is not necessarily a right, and admission may technically be at the discretion of border enforcement officers. Visitors engaging in activities other than tourism, including unpaid work, may require a visa or work permit.
According to the Passport Index, the Canadian passport is ranked 7th in the world.
