Where you can go as a visitor if your passport is from Canada

One question, every country, with your nationality already applied. In 2 of them something is written that changes the answer for you; in the other 42 the general rule is what you get, and that is the answer rather than a gap. Every line is that country’s own record.

Canadian citizens: thirty days in the statute, ninety from Haiti's own embassy in Ottawa

written for your nationality by name

The general rule it sits on

The instrument still on the books gives a visitor thirty days. Haiti's missions tell travellers ninety. The Loi du 8 décembre 1959 sur l'immigration et l'émigration rewrote article 16 of the immigration law so that American and Canadian tourists, and nationals of countries that have an agreement with Haiti waiving passport or visa formalities, may enter on a simple card and stay thirty days; everyone else buys a visa from a Haitian consulate. Haiti's own embassy in Canada describes something different and larger: no prior visa for a Canadian staying under ninety days, entry formalities settled on arrival at any international airport or land border, and a ninety-day "séjour de courtoisie" after which a residence permit becomes compulsory. Both are Haitian government statements and they do not say the same thing. The statute also makes leaving a formality: article 43 requires an exit visa of any foreigner subject to an entry visa who has been in the country more than seventy-two hours.

Named in Schedule 1: No Visa, and Nothing Else Changes

reaches you through Nationalities Ireland exempts from the visa

The general rule it sits on

Nothing about a short visit to Ireland is decided in Brussels. Whether a visa is needed before travelling is decided by an order the Minister makes under section 17 of the Immigration Act 2004, and the order in force is the Immigration Act 2004 (Visas) Order 2014. Article 3(a) of it exempts nationals of the states listed in Schedule 1; article 4 requires a transit visa of nationals of the states listed in Schedule 5, which reaches people who never leave the airport. Both Schedules were replaced whole on 10 July 2024 and Schedule 1 has been cut three times since. Arrival is a second question with its own answer: a permission under section 4, which an immigration officer may give or refuse on twelve listed grounds, and on which that officer writes how long you may stay and whether you may work.

Where the general rule applies to you unchanged

Nothing is recorded in these that treats a citizen of Canada differently on this question, so what follows is what everyone gets.
