The best packing lists for Canada

Canada is vast and its seasons are emphatic: a summer trip to Ontario and a winter trip to Québec need essentially two different suitcases. Settle on region and month first, clothing second.

Good to know for Canada

City summers turn warm and muggy and cool off sharply by the water in the evening. From June to August mosquitoes and black flies are a nuisance in wooded areas, while winter across much of the country means well below freezing — a down jacket, thermal trousers and grippy boots are not optional.

Power matches the United States at 120 volts on type A and B plugs. The currency is the Canadian dollar, contactless works nearly everywhere, and tap water is reliably drinkable.

Distances are what people misjudge: two provinces apart usually means a flight, and domestic allowances count every kilo. For winter, pack moisturiser — indoor heating leaves the air extremely dry.
