Canada offers a rich blend of cultural charm and natural beauty, making it an appealing destination for many international travelers. Although there has been a recent decline in tourist arrivals, it still attracts millions annually. With 2.7 million Turks traveling abroad each year, a portion of them may find Canada to be an interesting option for their travels.
Canada is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Türkiye. According to the Global Peace Index, Canada ranks 11th out of 160 countries, making it one of the safest countries globally. In comparison, Türkiye ranks 137th. While the murder rates are relatively close, with Türkiye at 2.5 per 100,000 people and Canada at 2.1, Canada has lower indices for organized crime and various types of trafficking. For instance, Canada scores significantly better in areas such as state crime (Canada 2.0 vs. Türkiye 9.0) and human trafficking (Canada 3.5 vs. Türkiye 7.0). Overall, tourists from Türkiye can expect a safer environment in Canada, with lower crime rates and a more stable security situation.
