The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) encourages fans, teams, officials and media to plan ahead before travelling to Canada for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026™, taking place June 11 until July 19 2026.
In 2025, the CBSA welcomed over 82 million travellers, stopped over 83,200 kg of illegal drugs from entering our communities and kept more than 17,700 weapons and firearms off our streets.
Here are some travel tips to help you plan for your trip:
Prepare your documents
- A FIFA World Cup ticket is not a ticket into the country. Before making travel plans, learn about entry requirements by country or territory. There is no special “FIFA visa”.
- Have your travel documents ready. All international travellers, regardless of age, must carry acceptable identification when entering Canada. A passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel and identification document when abroad.
- When travelling with children who are not your own or for whom you don’t have legal custody, bring a consent letter from the parent or legal guardian authorizing you to travel with the child. We are always watching for missing children, and in the absence of the letter, border officers may ask additional questions.
Declare your goods
- Declare everything you have with you upon entry into Canada. You are responsible for everything inside your vehicle, boat or luggage.
- Bringing goods for sale or business use? All goods imported for sale, resale, lease, or use by your business are considered commercial goods. Use the Canada Border Services Agency’s Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) system to properly declare your commercial goods and pay applicable duties and taxes.

- Travelling with CAN$10,000 or more?Declare it. There are no restrictions on the amount of money you can bring into or take out of Canada, and it is not illegal to do so; you just need to declare it.
- Some foods, such as certain meats, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables, are prohibited from entering Canada to prevent serious risks of plant pests, animal diseases and human health.
