How to get out Canada
Canada's southern neigbour, the United States can become a side trip from Canada or even a major part of your vacation. Places like Niagara Falls, New York City, Detroit, and Seattle are easily reached on public transportation or on foot in some cases. See the main article on the USA for entry requirements - if you need a visa be sure to apply well in advance.
Saint-Pierre and Miquelon are two relatively small islands off the coast of Newfoundland. Despite their small size and relative proximity to the Canadian coast line, they are overseas Departments of France and the only vestige of French colonialism in North America. To step into this charming French seaside community, take the car ferry from Fortune, Newfoundland during the summer, or scheduled flights from Montreal, Halifax, and St. Johns year round.
Greenland, Canada's major eastern island neighbour, despite being separated by less than 50km of water in some locations is not directly accessible from North America, as there is no civilian air or ferry service. The flag carrier Air Greenland flies from Reykjavik, Iceland to the small capital Nuuk twice a week during the summer - Reykjavik can be reached directly from several Canadian and US cities on Icelandair and a few other carriers making this the most direct route from North America. Other options include through Copenhagen, Denmark (Air Greenland flies here year round) or on summer cruise ships originating in both the US and Canada. Despite the relative difficulty of reaching the island, the untouched natural Arctic beauty of one of the most remote places on earth makes it well worth the effort.
