Before You Leave On Your Next Trip To A Far Off Land

With the recent hurricanes on the Caribean it is worth a reminder that before you travel to far off lands, you register your trip with the Canadian Federal Government. There is no cost to do this, and it allows your home country to know if you happen to be on vacation in a part of the world that experiences a natural disaster or undue political turmoil.

Registering is easy:

There is no fee to register and you can get assistance in a variety of situations such as "Arrest and Detention", "Death Abroad", "Financial Assistance", "Hijacking, hostage takings and kidnappings", "Missing Persons" and "Large Scale emergencies abroad".
