Canada has issued one of its most extensive travel advisories for Africa, designating 17 countries as high-risk between November 13 and 15, 2025. The update, issued by Global Affairs Canada, comes amid rising instability, fragile governance, and cross-border security threats across the continent.

Over the three-day period, Canada either issued new or reaffirmed high-risk travel advisories for 34 countries globally. The move aligns with a broader international trend of tightened mobility, security, and immigration policies, particularly among Western nations.

The advisories reflect armed conflict, extremist violence, unstable political transitions, and rapidly changing conditions that make travel dangerous in some areas. Nations such as Somalia, Sudan, Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso face ongoing insurgencies and fragmented territorial control, while Ethiopia and Nigeria grapple with volatile political dynamics, mass protests, and localized communal violence.

Travelers are now advised under two categories:

  • Avoid Non-Essential Travel: Assess the necessity of travel and consider leaving if safe.
  • Avoid All Travel: Travel is strongly discouraged due to extreme personal safety risks, with residents urged to make safe departure arrangements if possible.

African Countries Advised for Avoid All Travel:

  • South Sudan
  • Burkina Faso
  • Central African Republic
  • Libya
  • Mali
  • Niger
  • Somalia
  • Sudan

African Countries Advised for Avoid Non-Essential Travel (Regional Advisories Apply):

  • Madagascar
  • Ethiopia
  • Burundi
  • Chad
  • Democratic Republic of Congo (Kinshasa)
  • Eritrea
  • Mauritania
  • Nigeria
  • Tanzania

The latest advisories mirror stricter global approaches to travel security.
