In-Depth Information
If you are refused entry but have a visa, you have the right of appeal at the port of
entry. If you're arriving by land, the best course is simply to try again later (after a shift
change) or at a different border crossing.
Women Travelers
Vancouver is generally quite safe for women traveling solo, although jogging alone after
dark in parks and hanging out late at night in the Downtown Eastside without company
is best avoided. Note it is illegal to carry pepper spray or mace in Canada. The
