We understand the importance of health and well-being during your sacred pilgrimage journey. This page is dedicated to equip you with vital information and resources to ensure a safe and healthy experience while performing Hajj or Umrah, as advised by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
While the Government of Canada currently advises Canadians to avoid non-essential travel to Saudi Arabia due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East, many are expected to perform Hajj. Please refer to the multilingual travel info sheets below on what you can do before, during, and after your trip, as well as requirements to return to Canada.
