Travelers flying to Canada starting Sept. 30 will experience a raft of new documentation requirements depending on their citizenship. The rules are part of Canada’s Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), established in 2011 to facilitate travel between the U.S. and Canada. A result of the eTA was an effort to more closely scrutinize foreign nationals from visa-exempt countries. Up until the eTA, some countries authorized citizens to travel to Canada with only a passport, and without having to obtain a visa. As a result, foreigners from these countries were not subject to any screening until they arrived at an airport in Canada.

If you’re cruising soon, what do you plan to bring in your wallet? It has long been a well-known travel tip to not carry too much cash with you in case it is lost or stolen. But these days, it may be even riskier to carry a debit card, which in the hands of a thief could compromise more for you than just your money. That’s why we’ve come up with 7 reasons not to cruise with a debit card. 1. Security If you try to use your debit card in one of the ports on your cruise, chances are your bank will flag it for suspicious activity and freeze your account. Then you’ll be blocked from making purchases or taking out cash, even from ATMs on the ship. Always inform your bank before your trip of where you’re going so that they don’t assume your card has been stolen and place these holds on it. 2. Easy to Lose Like any and all small objects we carry around in our pockets and purses, debit cards are easy to lose. While many banks can overnight a card to your next port of call (usually to a bank) if it’s lost, it’s easier to travel without one to minimize risk. Carry cash instead and one credit card for emergencies. But make sure that credit card is one that can easily have charges blocked in case it is lost or stolen. |
