Canada's passport ranks ninth in global rankings

 

 

Canada's passport ranks ninth in global rankings. Canada's passport has risen to ninth place in the prestigious Henley Passport Index. It offers visa-free entry to 183 countries around the world and visa-on-arrival facilities. Singapore remains at the top of the list, followed by South Korea and Japan. Earlier this year, Canada was ranked seventh. There has been a slight decline from that. However, Canada's passport is still ranked higher than the United States. The US passport has fallen to 12th place for the first time in 20 years.

The drop in the ranking is partly due to countries such as Singapore, South Korea and the UAE expanding their visa-free travel agreements. Canada continues to benefit from strong diplomatic relations with most countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The ninth place in the global ranking is also a testament to its credibility on a global scale, beyond travel. Moreover, Canadian citizens will be able to enjoy faster visa processing and easier travel for tourism, business, and family visits. The Henley Passport Index is prepared using data from the International Air Transport Association.
