All people who wish to visit Canada must hold a valid passport with at least six months remaining before its expiration.

Visitors from visa-exempt countries, excluding the US, must obtain an electronic travel authorization before departing from their home country. On the other hand, visitors who are not from visa-exempt countries are expected to apply for the appropriate visa through an embassy or consulate before traveling to Canada.

The Canadian Dollar is the official currency of Canada. It is abbreviated either with the dollar sign $ or Can$ or C$, in order to distinguish it from other currencies. The Canadian dollar is divided into 100 cents.

The currency is sometimes referred to as loonie by foreign exchange traders and analysts, due to one-dollar coin featuring a loon on it. As in any country, the paper money has different colors and designs. Blue paper money is for 5 dollar bills, other colors include purple, green, red, and brown.

Many hotels, restaurant, and shops are likely to accept US dollars, however, at a lower exchange rate in comparison to the one set by a bank. Converting your money to the Canadian dollar might be a good idea. If you wish to pay by card, exchange rates will be determined by the bank and the day of your purchase.

Following the provisions of the Canada Health Act of 1984, Healthcare in Canada is delivered through its thirteen provincial and territorial systems of publicly funded health care. This means that all health authorities are responsible for funding and delivering hospital services, long-term care, and mental and public health services.

The organization of Canada's health care system is largely determined by the Canadian Constitution, in which roles and responsibilities are divided between the federal, and provincial and territorial governments.
