Top 10 Countries (2025):
Canada didn’t just shine as a country — its cities also impressed travellers. Victoria, British Columbia, took the top position in the Best Small Cities category.
The article described Victoria as “a popular day trip from Vancouver, British Columbia’s capital city deserves a standalone visit.” It praised the city’s ferry ride across Swartz Bay and its authentic British high tea culture.
In the Best Big Cities category, Vancouver and Montreal both earned high rankings. Vancouver placed 7th, while Montreal secured 9th.
The article highlighted Montreal’s charm, saying, “Quebec’s biggest—and most cosmopolitan—city is perhaps best known for its picturesque Old Montreal neighbourhood, with its quaint cobblestone streets and Gothic Revival cathedral.”
It also celebrated Montreal’s artistic and culinary side, calling attention to iconic restaurants like Joe Beef and Au Pied de Cochon. The city’s modern art scene, lively bars, and design-forward hotels added to its appeal.
Vancouver, on the other hand, was recognized for its mix of nature and culture. The article stated, “There’s something wonderful about visiting a city where you can be in the heart of a metropolis, eating a five-star meal one day and enjoying the skyline from the seat of a kayak the next.”
Visiting Canada Made Simple
For international travellers, visiting Canada requires either a Visitor Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), depending on nationality. The eTA costs $7 CAD and is usually approved within minutes. However, visitors should check processing times early, as they vary by country.
Certain travellers, such as U.S. citizens, Green Card holders, and French nationals from St. Pierre and Miquelon, can enter Canada without a visa or eTA under specific conditions.
