Canadian Passport Ranks Higher than U.S. in Visa-Free Access
The Henley Passport Index ranks Canada in 9th place for visa-free access to various countries, surpassing the U.S.
According to Henley and Partners, Canadian passport holders can visit more countries without a visa compared to Americans. Last year, both countries were tied at 7th place.
- Canadians can access Belarus, Papua New Guinea, and Uzbekistan without a visa.
- They can also skip visa requirements upon arrival in Bolivia and Rwanda.
Henley and Partners attributes the shift to countries imposing reciprocal policies in response to new U.S. visa restrictions or entry requirements.
