With recent U.S. travel advisories and an increase in entry restrictions, Canada has issued new travel warnings about the U.S.
The new travel warning issued by the Canadian government encourages citizens to take proper precautions when venturing to America’s most populous cities. Released on the Government of Canada’s webpage, the Great White North has specifically warned Canadian tourists against traveling to Los Angeles, owing to the continued clashes between anti-Trump protesters and both local and federal law enforcement officials inside the city.
In addition to its current warning for traveling to Los Angeles, the Canadian government also highlights other key issues that one should take into consideration before traveling to the U.S., including both petty and violent crime, credit card and ATM fraud and gun violence.
“Since June 6, 2025, large demonstrations have been taking place in Los Angeles. Demonstrations are also occurring in other major cities,” the Canadian government said. “Additional security forces have been deployed and a curfew is in effect for most of downtown Los Angeles from 8 pm to 6 am. Additional curfew orders may be imposed on short notice.”
“If you are in an affected area: monitor local media for the latest information, stay away from demonstrations and follow the instructions of local authorities, including curfew orders.”
In the past, the U.S. and Canadian governments have maintained a fairly standard travel advisory for their respective nations, encouraging their citizens to “take normal precautions” when venturing beyond their neighbors’ borders.
While this new warning has officially impacted Canada’s travel advisory level for the U.S., it does emphasize the current unrest affecting Los Angeles, which has seen significant government protests for 10 straight days.
“The rate of firearm possession in the U.S. is high…incidences of mass shootings occur, resulting most often in casualties. Although tourists are rarely involved, there is a risk of being in the wrong place at the wrong time,” the advisory noted.
