Just as the U.S. continues to monitor global events and issue travel warnings based on their international findings, so too does its northern neighbor come out with new travel advisories reflecting ongoing geopolitical events.
Case in point with the new travel warning issued by the Canadian government, encouraging citizens to take proper precautions when venturing to America’s most populous cities.
According to the new travel advisory released on the Government of Canada’s webpage, the Great White North has specifically warned Canadian tourists against traveling to Los Angeles, owing to the continued clashes between anti-Trump protesters and both local and federal law enforcement officials inside the city.
“Since June 6, 2025, large demonstrations have been taking place in Los Angeles. Demonstrations are also occurring in other major cities,” the Canadian government said. “Additional security forces have been deployed and a curfew is in effect for most of downtown Los Angeles from 8 pm to 6 am. Additional curfew orders may be imposed on short notice.”
“If you are in an affected area: monitor local media for the latest information, stay away from demonstrations and follow the instructions of local authorities, including curfew orders.”
In the past, the U.S. and Canadian governments have maintained a fairly standard travel advisory for their respective nations, encouraging their citizens to “take normal precautions” when venturing beyond their neighbors’ borders.
While this new warning has officially impacted Canada’s travel advisory level for the U.S., it does emphasize the current unrest affecting Los Angeles, which has seen significant government protests for 10 straight days.
In addition to its current warning for traveling to Los Angeles, the Canadian government also highlights other key issues that one should take into consideration before traveling to the U.S., including both petty and violent crime, credit card and ATM fraud and gun violence.
