Check the official travel-advice service of the government relevant to your citizenship or residence, then search every destination and transit country on your itinerary. Read the detailed written guidance—not only the advisory level or map—and verify it again while planning and just before departure.
Which official travel-advice service should you use?
Start with your own government’s travel-advice service. An advisory reflects the issuing government’s perspective and is written for the people it serves. The U.S. Department of State, for example, says its advisories assess risks to U.S. citizens, nationals and legal residents. U.S. Department of State travel advisories
If useful, compare advice from another government as a second perspective. Canada links travellers to advice from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. Government of Canada travel advice and advisories

Check every destination and transit country
Search separately for each country where you will stay and each country through which you will transit. Transit locations matter even if you do not plan to leave the airport. Check for regional warnings within a country as well: advice can differ by region, and a general country-level view may not cover the places on your route. Canada notes that travellers are responsible for all places they visit, including transit locations. Government of Canada travel advice and advisories

Read the details, not just the level or map
Open the country’s full advice and review the sections that affect your plans. Canada’s destination pages organize guidance under risk levels, safety and security, entry and exit requirements, health, laws and culture, and natural disasters and climate. Canada says the written text in its Risk levels section is the official source and takes precedence over the map. Government of Canada travel advice and advisories
If you compare more than one government’s advice, compare the details rather than trying to combine their levels into one score:

- Who the advisory is written for and which government issued it.
- Whether it covers the particular region or transit point on your itinerary.
- Which risks it identifies and what actions it recommends.
- When the advice was published or updated, and whether you can receive alerts.
Different levels are not directly interchangeable. Read the underlying guidance and consider your route and circumstances. The Canadian destination listing displays risk levels and last-updated timestamps; use the timestamp as a cue to inspect the current page, not as a substitute for reading it.

Verify entry rules and flight details separately
A travel advisory is risk guidance, not a complete boarding or immigration decision. Check entry and exit requirements through the destination government’s official source for your passport and circumstances; an advisory page may also summarize these requirements. For flight-specific or operational questions, contact the airline. Smartraveller lists airlines among the assistance contacts travellers may need.
