Canada's passport ranking has declined in the latest Henley Passport Index, falling to seventh place globally. This drop raises questions about Canada's reputation for openness and travel accessibility.
The new Canadian passport was unveiled at an event at the Ottawa International Airport on May 10, 2023. A new global ranking may raise doubts about Canada 's reputation of being open to other countries. While Singapore kept its status as the country with the world's most powerful passport, Canada was considered among the 'top 5 losers' in a new global ranking released Wednesday.
Canada sat at seventh among 199 passports, falling three places over the past decade, according to the 2025 Henley Passport Index. The index ranks all the world's 199 passports based on the number of destinations they can enter without a visa. It uses official data from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
