The Great North is one of the most beautiful places on planet earth – but it’s also one of the best places to live and be an adventure-seeker!
According to a new ranking published by The Passport Index, Canada has a pretty impressive mobility rating and is among the countries with the most powerful Identification in the world for 2022.
With a current score of 170, Canadians were given a passport power ranking of 5 along with Slovakia, Lithuania, Malta and Singapore.
Though it was the United Arab Emirates that placed first in the world, Canada was given a higher ranking than last year, is one of the few countries that can travel visa-free to over 100 destinations, and only need to prove where they’re from upon arrival in 55 countries!
What really should impress you, however, is how few of our global neighbours ask Canadians to secure a visa before visiting.
