Best time to go to Toronto

Toronto sees warm summers and cold winters. The hottest months are July and August, where temperatures reach the early twenties, and the coolest is January, where the mercury quite often dips below freezing. July also happens to be the rainiest month in the year, so if you’re visiting then, don’t forget to pack an umbrella.

Passports & Visas

British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Canada but require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) and for a small fee, you can apply through our visa and travel authorisation partner – Sherpa. You also must have a valid passport for the proposed duration of stay. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/canada/entry-requirements.

Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

Health & Safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/canada/health
