Visa requirements for Canadian citizens are administrative entry restrictions by the authorities of other states placed on citizens of Canada.

As of 2025, Canadian citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 184 countries and territories, resulting in the Canadian passport being ranked 8th in the world according to the Henley Passport Index. It is ranked 8th by the Global Passport Power Rank.

Besides visa requirements, countries may have other specified entry requirements that have to be met in order for citizens of Canada to be granted entry, such as not having a criminal record, known health issues, or that the traveler has sufficient funds for the duration of their stay, or a return ticket.
