Do Canadian citizens need a visa for Morocco?+
No. Canadian passport holders can enter Morocco visa-free for stays up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. No advance paperwork is required from Canada.
Is there a direct flight from Canada to Morocco?+
Yes — Royal Air Maroc operates a direct nonstop from Montréal (YUL) to Casablanca (CMN), year-round daily, around 7 hours. From every other Canadian city you connect once: through Montréal (RAM), Paris (Air France), London (BA / Air Canada), Frankfurt (Lufthansa), or Amsterdam (KLM).
Why book through a BPCPA-licensed agency vs. direct with a Moroccan operator?+
BPCPA licensing means your booking is protected by British Columbia's Travel Assurance Fund. Your payments sit in a regulated trust account. You have a Canadian regulator to escalate to if anything goes wrong. Booking directly with an offshore operator means none of those protections apply.
What payment methods do you accept from Canadian travelers?+
Interac e-Transfer (the most popular for Canadian clients), Canadian credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX), and Canadian wire transfers. All transactions in CAD with no foreign-exchange surprises between deposit and final payment.
Are HST or GST charged on the tour?+
No. Tour services are delivered entirely outside Canada and are therefore zero-rated for GST/HST. Your final invoice will not include sales tax. The only exception would be the rare case of a Canadian-side add-on we resell on your behalf, flagged explicitly on the quote.
Is Morocco safe for Canadian travelers?+
Yes. Morocco is one of the most politically stable countries in North Africa and a longstanding ally of Canada. Global Affairs Canada maintains a standard "exercise normal precautions" advisory — the same level as most of Europe. On a private tour with a vetted driver and licensed guides, the most common issue is petty pickpocketing in crowded medinas, exactly as in any major European city.
Should I get travel insurance for Morocco?+
Yes — strongly recommended for any Canadian traveling internationally. Provincial health coverage (OHIP, MSP, RAMQ, etc.) does not cover medical emergencies abroad. We recommend TuGo, Manulife CoverMe, Blue Cross, or RBC for minimum CA$2 million emergency medical, plus trip-cancellation coverage. Buy within 72 hours of paying your deposit so pre-existing-condition stability clauses begin counting in your favour.
What's the time difference between Canada and Morocco?+
Morocco is 4–5 hours ahead of Eastern Time and 7–8 hours ahead of Pacific Time, depending on the time of year. Morocco stays on GMT+1 most of the year and doesn't follow North American DST the same way Canada does, so the gap shifts by an hour at certain times. We pace day 1 to absorb the time change comfortably.
How far in advance should Canadians book?+
For spring (Mar–May) departures, book 4–6 months ahead — these are peak Canadian booking months. For winter (Dec–Feb) Sahara escapes, 3–4 months ahead is usually fine. For summer Atlantic coast or shoulder-season trips, 2–3 months is workable. Last-minute bookings under 6 weeks are possible but limit accommodation choice.
Can you accommodate halal, kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free?+
Yes — all of the above. Morocco is a Muslim country so halal is the default. Vegetarian and gluten-free are easy to accommodate at every meal. Kosher requires specific arrangements — we work with kosher-certified providers in Casablanca and Marrakech for our Jewish Heritage tour clients.
Do you handle multi-generational family trips?+
Yes — many of our Canadian clients book exactly that. We pace these tours with shorter daily drives, hotels with elevators, swimming pools for kids, and accommodation that suits both grandparents and toddlers. We can arrange car seats, stroller-friendly routing, and child-friendly meal options. For older travellers specifically, see Morocco tours for seniors.
