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 compared to Americans, with access to countries like Belarus, Papua New Guinea, and Uzbekistan.

This shift is partly due to countries imposing reciprocal policies in response to new U.S. visa restrictions or entry requirements.

Canadian passport holders have overtaken Americans in terms of visa-free access to the world.
