Canada passport visa matrix visual: Blank passport-like booklets arranged in a dark editorial travel matrix.

Canadian passport holders access 117 countries visa-free or with a stamp on arrival, plus 44 destinations offering e-visas or quick authorizations. This rank places Canada among the world's most travel-friendly passports—whether crossing to the U.S., exploring Europe, or reaching Southeast Asia with minimal friction.

Visa results start from a historical January 2025 base matrix with limited, documented corrections. A mapped destination-level source provides context only; it does not independently verify a passport-destination result.
