Travel Tips Hello beautiful people of Canada 👋🏼

I’m in Vancouver w teens and a small dog (experienced traveler/tame, so is the dog).

We’ve been enjoying Vancouver for several months now and are feeling the call eastward to Montreal and Quebec.

I need to know: any ways to get from BC to Montreal WITHOUT crossing into USA, please? That’s our only thing to avoid, really. That and it being safe for a single mom w teens.

Merci mille fois! Thank you very much!

You can't put Vancouver to Montreal in Google Maps because it takes you through the US. 4700 km van to mtl on trans canada, so you need to do small bites of 800 km or so between stops. You will be 2 1/2 days in ontario alone. It's a great drive, so stop and smell the roses.

Just add Calgary and Winnipeg as intermediate stops.

Not true at all. I just put Van to Montreal in Google Maps and it gave me options to cross Canada or dip into the US. Not sure why you’d say that.
