Practical information

Keep together, in a bag that stays with you: passport, visa or travel authorization when required, plane tickets, the agency's confirmation and your travel insurance certificate.

• Keep a digital copy of your documents in a secure place.
• Never send your passport by ordinary email: the agency will tell you how to send it securely.

Required documents

For Umrah and Hajj, plan a passport valid at least six months beyond your trip. For other destinations, the required validity depends on the country and your nationality.

• Check the expiry date as soon as you register: a renewal can take several weeks.
• Check that the name on your ticket exactly matches your passport.

Required documents How to register

Visa, electronic authorization, health declaration or certificate: formalities depend on the destination and your nationality, and can change. The agency tells you which ones apply to your file.

• Umrah: the visa is requested through an approved agency or online, under the procedures in force.
• Hajj: official registration is done on the Nusuk Hajj platform.
• Tours: check the Government of Canada travel advice for your destination.

Hajj Umrah

Pack a light suitcase with clothing suited to the climate and respectful of the religious and cultural norms of the country you visit.

• Toiletry bag, prayer mat, small backpack, comfortable sandals and sunglasses.
• Keep your documents, medication and a change of clothes in your cabin bag.
• Check the baggage allowance on your ticket.

Preparing for Umrah

Ask a travel health clinic about required or recommended vaccines (for example against meningitis for Umrah and Hajj), ideally several weeks before departure.

• Prepare a small first-aid kit and bring your personal medication with its prescription.
• Drink regularly: the climate can be very hot.
• Travel insurance covering medical care is strongly recommended.

This general advice does not replace the advice of a health professional.

Advice for pilgrims

Plan a budget for expenses on site (meals not included, transport, personal purchases) and tell your bank about your trip so you can use your cards abroad.

• Bring a little cash in the local currency for small expenses.
• Your package is paid at the agency: the website does not accept any online payment.

Booking terms

An unlocked phone lets you buy a local SIM card; otherwise, check your provider's international plans before leaving.

• Note the emergency numbers and the contact details of the Canadian embassy or consulate.
• Save the agency's WhatsApp number to reach us easily.

Contact

The climate varies with the destination and season; in Saudi Arabia it can be very hot during the day. Check the forecast a few days before departure.

• Bring a light layer for evenings and air-conditioned places, and comfortable walking shoes.

Preparing for Umrah

Check your flight times and arrive at the airport as recommended by the airline.

• Label your luggage with your name and phone number.
• Keep your documents, medication and valuables in your hand luggage.
• During the trip, follow your group escort's instructions.
