(Travel Information & Advisory Report)

The Canadian Government puts out this site and it advises on vaccinations, visa requirements, and any other dangers associated to your destination of choice.  There is a weekly traveler’s bulletin that warns of political or civil unrest in a country and tells about safe and dangerous locations within that country.  It also warns if there are changes to visa requirements.  The Beware link tells of any travel advisories put out in the past two years.  You can get passport information, print out an application, and find Canadian Consults in foreign countries.  You can also order for free any travel publication that the Canadian Government puts out such as Bon Voyage But . . . and Working Abroad.

This site is excellent to find out what the going rate of exchange is.  You can check the rate for any currency, from US Dollars to Canadian Dollars, Japanese Yen to North Korean Won.  You can even check the rate from previous dates as far back as 1990.  Be careful of checking the Canadian Dollar against the US Dollar that far back as it could cause you to weep at how good the rate was then.
