Packing Essentials
| Season | What to Pack |
|---|---|

| Fall (Sept-Nov) | Layers (it can be warm or cold), light jacket, waterproof shoes, umbrella |
| Winter (Dec-Feb) | Heavy winter coat, thermal underwear, insulated boots, gloves, hat, scarf — Canada gets VERY cold (-20°C or colder!) |
| Spring (March-May) | Layers, rain jacket, waterproof shoes — weather is unpredictable |
- 6. Pack power adapter: Canada uses Type A/B plugs (same as USA). Voltage is 120V.
During Your Trip
- 7. Keep documents safe: Carry copies of passport, visa, insurance; leave originals in hotel safe.
- 8. Respect local customs: Canadians are polite — say “please,” “thank you,” “sorry.” Queue properly.
- 9. Tip appropriately: 15-20% at restaurants, $1-2 per bag for hotel porters, 15% for taxis.
- 10. Use public transit: Toronto TTC, Vancouver TransLink, Montreal STM are efficient and affordable.
- 11. Stay connected: Buy a local SIM (Freedom Mobile, Lucky Mobile are budget options) or get international roaming.
- 12. Drink tap water: Canadian tap water is safe and high quality — save money on bottled water.

- 14. Check attraction hours: Many attractions close earlier in off-season or are closed Mondays.

- ❌ Underestimating distances — Canada is HUGE; Toronto to Vancouver is 4,400 km (like Dhaka to Dubai!)
- ❌ Not packing for cold weather — even summer evenings can be chilly
- ❌ Forgetting travel insurance — medical bills can be $1,000s per day without insurance
