This is due to
Canada's overall safety and security situation being generally stable. However, there is always a risk of terrorist attacks, petty crime, and natural disasters. It is important to stay informed of your surroundings and be prepared for any unexpected situations.
It is also recommended to have comprehensive travel insurance that includes coverage for medical evacuations, as healthcare costs in Canada can be high for foreign visitors.
Respect local laws and customs, as behaviors that may be acceptable in your home country could be offensive or illegal in Canada. Be aware of any travel advisories and heed warnings from local authorities.
