We are Canadians. And as most Canadians, we love a lot, a picturesque trip by road and complain politely for politics. But we are going to clarify one thing: we are not treading the foot in the United States at this time. Not to buy, not for the sun, and definitely not for the “land of the free”, where border agents interpret their reasons to travel as tarot cards.
Travel notices for the United States are increasing by 2025
In case it has been lost: New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany and yes, even Canada … All have issued updated travel notices for the United States. The reasons?
- Civil disturbances
- Unpredictable border crossings
- Increased political instability
- Growing incidents of violent crimes and mass shootings
And this is not alarmism, it is intelligent travel planning. Canada’s tourism to the United States is down. The conferences are relocating. Creators and public figures are omitting appearances. And honestly? We understand it.
Travel warnings are accumulating, and it’s not just that Canada sounds the alarm
We are not the only ones who take advantage of the brakes on American Road’s trips. Several of Canada’s closest allies are updating their own travel notices, and say that it is not because of the high gas prices or the long TSA lines.
This is what other countries say about traveling to the United States in 2025:
- United Kingdom: The British government warns its citizens that even the rupture of the minor rules could lead to arrest or detentionRemembering travelers that US authorities enforce the entry rules very strictly.
- Germany: His notice now states that even with a visa exemption program, the entrance is not guaranteed. This update followed multiple cases of German citizens who were rejected or detained on the American border.
- Denmark: Danish authorities now advise transgender travelers to communicate with the United States General Consulate before traveling due to growing concerns about state laws aimed at LGBTQ+people.
- Finland: It issued a similar warning after Trump’s executive order that limits gender recognition rights.
- Canada: Our government He has also updated his US travel advice. UU. Canadians and other foreign citizens who visit for more than 30 days must now register with immigration services.
These are not marginal countries. These are G7 partners, NATO allies and some of the strongest supporters in the United States. And everyone warns that traveling to the United States in 2025 comes with greater risk.
The double standard: if this were any other country …
Let’s be honest: if any other country had this level of violence, political disturbances and instability, Canada would issue a full travel notice. But because it is America, we receive mixed messages and diplomatic gymnastics.
Canada’s advice mentions many red flags:
The rate of possession of firearms in the United States is high. It is legal in many states that citizens transport firearms openly in public. Incidents of mass shootings are produced, resulting in victims. Although tourists are rarely involved, there is a risk of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. “
If this happened in certain countries, Colombia, Türkiye, even China, we would all avoid it as a prone to natural disasters.
Canada warns that attacks could occur throughout the year. Potential objectives include:
- Government buildings and public events
- Schools, places of worship, transport centers
- Tourist destinations, restaurants, hotels, shopping centers
Always take into account your environment in areas full of people. Monitor local media and follow local authorities to obtain updates. “OH, and yes, the US National Security Department maintains a public alert system for terrorism.
Manifestations that make violent
Even peaceful manifestations can become violent at any time. Avoid the affected areas, follow the evacuation orders if relevant state sources are issued and verified in search of interruptions. “
Add climatic conditions, active volcanoes, hurricane season and the risk of being stranded without essential services, and is beginning to sound more like a survival guide than as a vacation brochure.
New requirement: Travel record for Canadians
Here is something that many Canadians do not know:
Canadians and other foreign citizens visiting the United States for more than 30 days must now register with US authorities.
This registration requirement is linked to your Form i-94. If you are not automatically registered, you must do it yourself through customs and border protection of the USA (CBP) or the Immigration Services portal.
Failure could lead to:
- Fines
- Sanctions
- Minor crime prosecution
Basically, they treat a vacation overcome as a serious violation of national security.
Is it safe to travel to the United States?
Short answer: Not precisely.
Even if you have your permanent resident card, visa or travel authorization, a CBP officer can deny you entry or entry with little warning or brief notice.
Ask Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian with a valid visa that was stopped for almost two weeks. No charges. There is no legal advisor. It only remains in conditions worse than some prisons.
This is the reality for travelers with minor problems, such as criminal history, a medical condition marked or not with sufficient funds.
What can make you point to the border?
- Carry prescription medications without documentation
- Bringing inadvertently controlled substances
- Ignore local laws such as drinking alcohol in public
- Visit a destination recently affected by volcanic eruptions or meteorological reports
- Travel from certain countries or with unclear educational ties
It is expected to know the entry requirements, follow the emergency procedures and can re -enter Canada with the right paperwork. A wrong movement, and you are out.
Why we are avoiding the United States (and why it matters)
It’s not just about omitting a trip.
It’s about defending your safety.
It’s about refusing to normalize a broken system.
So no, we are not stepping on the United States at this time. But we are intensifying something better.
Canada, it’s time to lead
Canada has an option. We can hold on to the influence of fading, or we can lead. While others pursue cultural wars, we can build real bridges.
Because if we do not take control of our future, Trump, Putin and the crowd of chaos will gladly choose the route for us.
