Why Canada is a Safe Haven for Travelers in 2025

Have you ever wanted to travel to a place that feels safe and welcoming? Well, Canada might just be the spot for you! According to a recent report, Canada is ranked as the third safest country in the world for travelers in 2025, right behind Iceland and Australia.

Conducted by Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection (BHTP), this annual safety ranking takes a close look at various safety aspects, including crime levels, health measures, and how safe it is for marginalized groups like people of color and LGBTQIA+ travelers. And guess what? Canada scored incredibly well across the board!

In fact, Canada ranked second in safety from violent crime and terrorism, first in transportation safety, and first in health measures. Plus, it shines when it comes to safety for women and travelers from diverse backgrounds.

But wait, there's more! If you're planning a trip to explore Canada’s breathtaking nature, be sure to keep an eye out for wildlife while driving. Whether it's bears or moose, the great outdoors have a lot to offer, but safety should always come first!

Thinking of visiting Canada? Most travelers will need a visitor visa or an electronic travel authorization (eTA). Americans and green card holders have it easy as they don’t need an eTA, just a valid passport!
