Visa requirements for Canadian citizens
Encyclopedia
According to the "Henley Visa Restrictions Index 2011," Canadian citizens can travel to 164 countries and territories visa-free or with visa on arrival. Countries or territories that require prior application for a visa are also mentioned below.

Where visa-free access is permitted, such access is not necessarily a right, and admission is at the discretion of border enforcement officers. Visitors engaging in activities other than tourism, including unpaid work, may require a visa or work permit.
