For more information about the eTA system, and to apply online, visit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cic.gc.ca\/english\/visit\/eta.asp?utm_campaign=eta_20150417_travel&amp;utm_source=online_vanity-url&amp;utm_medium=web-marketing&amp;utm_content=canada.ca-eta\" rel=\"external\">official Canadian government website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re travelling in winter, be aware that severe snow storms regularly hit all parts of the country at this time of year. Before travelling anywhere in Canada, you should check local news and weather reports and visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ec.gc.ca\/default.asp?lang=En&amp;n=FD9B0E51-1\" rel=\"external\">Environment Canada<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Crime rates aren&#8217;t especially high in Canada, but you should always be vigilant and take sensible precautions to protect yourself from petty crime. This includes not leaving any bags or luggage unattended, including in cars, and keeping valuables, including your passport, in a hotel safe. Thieves in Canada will often target hotel rooms, so it&#8217;s worth leaving copies of important documents with family and friends in the UK and consider carrying a photocopy of your passport for ID.<\/p>\n<p>If you need the police, call 911 or 0 and ask the operator to connect you. There is no charge for emergency calls placed from a public pay phone. If you lose your passport, contact the British High Commission or Consulate immediately.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re driving in Canada, it&#8217;s worth knowing that you can drive a car there using a full UK driving licence, but individual car hire companies may require you to have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theaa.com\/driving-advice\/driving-abroad\/idp\" rel=\"external\">International Driving Permit<\/a>. Always check your car hire company\u2019s requirements before you travel and arrange full insurance. If driving, you should also carry your licence with you at all times.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/foreign-travel-advice\/canada\">GOV.UK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Image by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/jorono-1966666\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=2681245\">jorono<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=2681245\">Pixabay<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conferencecall.co.uk\/conference-call\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1777 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conferencecall.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/conference-call-banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"118\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK is Canada&#8217;s second biggest world trading partner &#8211; after the US &#8211; but quite where this relationship is headed after Brexit is uncertain.
