Canadian citizenship is well-known for its powerful passport, giving visa-free access to more than 180 destinations. But even before reaching citizenship, Canadian Permanent Residency (PR) also unlocks global travel opportunities that many newcomers don’t expect.
With a PR card and your passport, you can already visit 30 destinations visa-free in 2025. This recognition of Canadian residency opens doors that a passport alone may not. And even for those who only hold a Canadian Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), there can be added flexibility — such as easier airport transits, visa-on-arrival options, or simplified checks in certain countries.
Here is the full list of destinations that Canadian PR holders can access without needing a visa:
1. Dutch Caribbean Territories – 90 days

While Canadian citizenship remains the ultimate key to global mobility, PR already acts as a powerful travel asset. Whether for a Caribbean holiday, exploring Europe’s hidden gems, or connecting through major Asian hubs, Canadian PR — and in some cases even a TRV — makes the world more accessible.
