→ Poland visa for Canadian citizens
Canadian passport holders will find travel to Poland quite accessible, as short-term visits are visa-free, eliminating the need for a separate application. You can enjoy a maximum stay of 90 days within any 180-day period, perfect for exploring Poland's rich history from Kraków's Royal Castle to the poignant sites of Gdańsk, perhaps even reconnecting with ancestral heritage. Beyond tourist travel, three specific visa types—for work, study, or extended stays—are available for those planning longer engagements. When preparing for your journey from Canada, remember that Poland operates on Central European Time (CET) and uses the Polish Złoty (PLN), so plan your currency exchange accordingly.
