Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit Hong Kong?
No visa needed. Canadian ordinary passport holders can visit Hong Kong visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism. Canadian citizens holding an ordinary passport do not need a visa to visit Hong Kong for tourism or short business and may stay for up to 90 days per entry. This is confirmed by both the Hong Kong Immigration Department and the Government of Canada's travel advisory. No advance application, eVisa, or visa-on-arrival is required. Your passport should be valid for at least one month beyond your intended departure date, and you should be able to show an onward or return ticket and adequate funds for your stay. The 90 days is a ceiling, not a guarantee — immigration officers have discretion to grant a shorter period on arrival, and entry can be refused. Visitors may not work (paid or unpaid), run a business, or study. If you plan to continue to mainland China, you must obtain a separate Chinese visa in advance, as Hong Kong's visa-free entry does not cover the mainland.
