Whilst comparing travel quotes from different travel insurances for Canada, make sure you are aware of the following:
Canada's currency is the Canadian dollar (CAD), denoted by the symbol C$, to distinguish it from the US dollar. It is available in 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100-dollar paper notes. Canadian coins circulate as 5 cents (nickel), 10 cents (dime), 25 cents (quarter), 1 CAD (loonie) and 2 CAD (toonie).
As of 24th June 2024, the currency exchange rates of CAD are as follows:

| India | 100 INR | 1.64 CAD |
| United States of America | 100 USD | 136.63 CAD |

Canada is famous for the heavenly Niagara Falls, world-famous maple syrup, rich diversity in people and the great outdoors, charming northern lights, and astounding wildlife.
Being the second-largest country in the world (also the politest!), Canada must be on almost everyone’s travel bucket list. Whether you’re going in for the summer or the extreme winters, you can be sure you’ll never be bored! Especially if you’re touring on the road.
Honestly, this depends largely on your travel purpose. While most people prefer the summer, many travellers also pick the winters (yes, even when it’s extremely cold!) owing to the specific snow experiences they’re looking for.
However, considering everything, the fall months between September and November are the best time to visit Canada. The weather is neither cold nor hot. It’s not packed with tourists, and if you’ve never experienced autumn, Canadian cities will make you fall in love with their changing fall foliage and breathtaking backdrops.
It is the most favourable time to experience Canada at its best. You can almost feel like you’re in one of your picturesque desktop wallpapers.
Canada is known to be safer than its neighbouring country. However, this also primarily depends on the cities you plan to visit.
Here’s a quick list of safety precautions that will ensure you’re safe:
