most powerful passports in 2024

In 2024, Canada’s passport, although trailing the US, remains one of the world’s most powerful passports in 2024, according to the Passport Index. Ranking seventh globally, it shares this position with countries like Australia and Estonia. Assessed on visa-free and visa-on-arrival privileges, Canada’s Mobility Score is 173, with visa-free access to 124 countries and visa-on-arrival for 49. However, Canadians require visas for 25 countries, including China and Russia. 

The US and the UK ranked higher, while the UAE led with a score of 180. European countries largely hold the top ranks. The Canadian passport gained an outstanding overall mobility score, proving the freedom it provides to its holders, based on the immense amount of mobility it provides. Based on the following criteria: Visa-free, Visa-on-arrival, Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), and eVisa issued within 3 days—this score is an average of those variables.

117 countries are open to Canadian travel without the hassle of a visa, and 50 more countries require on-arrival. An eTA will be required for six specific locations, while a visa is needed for 25 countries.

Even though the rankings could vary, one thing is sure: the Canadian passport is still a strong document that allows its holders to travel and take advantage of endless opportunities. It represents not only citizenship but also the ability to cross borders, engage in cross-cultural relationships, and create lifelong memories.

With travelers eagerly planning their next journeys and creating bucket lists, the value, and authority of a passport have become more acknowledged. Furthermore, the passport symbolizes Canada’s global reach and the vast world that continues to be explored.
