Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit CF?

Canadian passport holders need a visa for the Central African Republic, but can apply online for a tourist eVisa instead of visiting an embassy. Canada is not on CAR's visa-exempt list. Note: Canada advises against all travel to the CAR. A Canadian (CA) ordinary passport holder traveling to the Central African Republic (CF) for tourism requires a visa. The CAR operates an official electronic visa (eVisa) system through evisa-centrafrique.com, which issues tourist eVisas online; Canada is not among the countries exempt from visa requirements (exempt nationalities include the USA, UAE, Israel, and several African states such as Cameroon, Chad, Gabon, Rwanda and Senegal). The Government of Canada confirms that both tourist and business visas are required and that the passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the intended departure date. A standard single-entry tourist eVisa costs roughly USD 82 (plus any service fees) and supports a short stay of up to about 90 days; the visa cannot be extended inside or outside the CAR. Proof of yellow fever vaccination is mandatory for entry. Travelers should be aware that the Government of Canada has issued its highest advisory level — Avoid all travel — for the Central African Republic due to armed conflict, violent crime and an unstable security situation. The CAR is in Central Africa and is not part of the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
