Travel safety in Toronto, Canada

Is Toronto safe to visit right now? (September 2026)

Both advisories on this page are issued for Canada as a whole, not for Toronto specifically.

The United States and the United Kingdom both publish travel advice at country level, so what follows describes Canada rather than Toronto on its own. Neither government rates individual cities.

What the advice says

  • The US State Department places Canada at Level 1, Exercise Normal Precautions, a country-level rating rather than one specific to Toronto.
  • UK guidance notes a high threat of terrorism globally affecting British nationals and states that terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Canada, including possibly indiscriminate ones in places visited by foreign nationals.
  • Travelers should take precautions against petty crime, such as not leaving bags or luggage unattended, keeping luggage out of sight in cars, and keeping valuables and passports in a secure location.
  • Carrying a copy of your passport for identification and leaving copies of important documents with family or friends back home is recommended.
  • Solo travelers should stay aware of their surroundings at all times, keep up with local media reports, and follow the advice of local authorities, particularly after dark in unfamiliar areas.
  • These advisories apply at the country level and are not specific assessments of conditions within Toronto itself.

Checked on September 21, 2026. Advisory data is refreshed weekly.
