Canada Travel Planning
& Travel Tips
Embassy Contact Information: U.S. citizens living in or
visiting Canada may register at the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy
or at a U.S. Consulate General in Canada, and may obtain updated information
on travel and security within Canada.
The U.S. Embassy is in Ottawa, Ontario, at 490 Sussex Drive, K1N 1G8, telephone
(613) 238-5335, fax (613) 688-3082. The Embassy website is
http://www.usembassycanada.gov. The Embassy's consular district includes
Baffin Island, the following counties in eastern Ontario: Lanark, Leeds,
Prescott, Renfrew, Russell and Stormont; and the following counties in western
Quebec: Gatineau, Hull, Labelle, Papineau, Pontiac and Tamiscamingue.
Calling Internationally: The Canadian phone system is exactly the same as the system in the United States. Canadian phone numbers have 10 digits: The first three numbers are the area code, which corresponds to a province or division thereof, plus a seven-digit local number. To call a number within the same locality, usually all you have to dial is the seven-digit local number. If you're making a long-distance call (out of the area or province), you need to precede the local number with "1" plus the area code.
Electricity: Canada uses the same electrical plug configuration
and current as the United States: 110 to 115 volts, 60 cycles.
Travel Insurance for Canada Trips: You should consider the benefits of travel
insurance as part of your Canada travel planning. Most travelers look for
travel tips that discuss the importance of travel insurance and travel
insurance through AIG Travel Guard can provide important coverage for your trip.
