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 than Americans, with access to countries like Belarus, Papua New Guinea, and Uzbekistan without a visa, and visa-free entry to Bolivia and Rwanda.
Canadians can access Belarus, Papua New Guinea and Uzbekistan without a visa, and they can also skip the requirement for a visa upon arriving in Bolivia and Rwanda.
This shift is partly due to countries imposing reciprocal policies in response to new U.S. visa restrictions or entry requirements.
