Canada - Luggage

Be aware of airline regulations for both carry-on and checked baggage (keeping in mind new airline carry-on restrictions).

Ensure that you are able to answer detailed questions about your luggage and can provide quick and easy access to all suitcases and packages.

Pack your own bags and be ready to answer questions about all contents. Never wrap or package gifts.

Never leave your luggage unattended and never take anything across a border for someone else.

Make sure there are no sharp objects or items that might be considered weapons, such as nail files and medical syringes, in your carry-on luggage. Such items should be packed in your checked bag. It is best to check with your airline for further details regarding permitted and non-permitted items.

Ensure electronic devices, such as cell phones, laptop computers and electronic games, are charged and ready to be turned on for inspection. Without proper inspection, you will not be allowed to take them on board.

Pack prescription medication in its original container, accompanied by the doctor's original prescription. Syringes for personal medical use must have the needle guard in place.
