Canada     Ensure that you take out full medical and travel insurance.       Check the FCO Travel Advice before booking your ticket and just before you go.       Bring enough funds in case of emergency.       Keep belongings in a safe place out of public view.       Respect local laws. Canadian beer is typically stronger than in the UK – do not drink and drive.       Obey speed limits. Take extra care when driving in winter and at dusk and dawn when deer and moose are most often encountered.       Heed local weather warnings - winter in Canada can be dangerous if you are not adequately protected.       Leave a photocopy of passport, airline tickets and itinerary with friends or relatives in the UK.       Enter next of kin details into the back of your passport.       Don’t carry drugs (including Qhat, which is legal in the UK but not in Canada).       Don’t overstay your visa or non-refundable airline ticket.       Don’t pick up hitchhikers or strangers when driving – especially in remote areas.
