Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit JO?

Canadian ordinary passport holders need a visa for Jordan. For a short tourist visit the standard route is a visa on arrival (single-entry, 40 JOD, 30-day stay) at airports and most land borders; an eVisa or the Jordan Pass are alternatives. Jordan is not visa-free for Canadian citizens. The Government of Canada and Jordan's official channels confirm Canadians require a tourist visa, which can be obtained on arrival at Jordan's international airports (Queen Alia, Amman, Aqaba), the Sheikh Hussein Bridge, and Wadi Araba (Aqaba) crossings. The single-entry tourist visa costs 40 JOD (about 60 USD) and permits a stay of 30 days, extendable at a local police station. A passport valid at least 6 months beyond entry with blank pages is required. The King Hussein Bridge (Allenby) crossing from the West Bank does NOT issue visas on arrival, so an eVisa must be arranged beforehand if entering there. Canadians may also apply for an eVisa in advance through Jordan's Ministry of Interior portal (eservices.moi.gov.jo), which avoids airport queues; processing is typically 1-3 business days. The Jordan Pass is a popular government tourist package that waives the visa fee entirely provided you buy it before arrival and stay a minimum of 2-3 nights, and it bundles entry to Petra and 40+ sites. Because visa-on-arrival is the simplest and most common channel for a short tourist stay, the best single-fit verdict is visa-on-arrival; eVisa and Jordan Pass are valid alternatives.
