Travel app provides updates and information for Canadians

The Government of Canada's Travel Smart app is a one-stop shop for international travel information and advice that helps users travel safely around the globe.

The Travel Smart app provides a host of useful information at the touch of a screen, including:

 • up-to-date travel advice and advisories for over 200 destinations worldwide;

 • emergency contact information for embassies and consulates abroad and the 24-7 Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa; and

 • continuously updated wait times at key Canada-U.S. border crossing posts listed by distance from the user's location;

 • links to Travel.gc.ca's social media accounts, where you can ask questions, share travel advice and learn even more about travelling safely and smarter abroad.

 • the Registration of Canadians Abroad service to assist Canadians in case of an emergency abroad or at home;

Canada's Travel Smart app is available at the Apple App Store and Google Play for download to smartphones and tablets.
