🌍 Stay Safe While Travelling: Why Canadians Should Register with ROCA

Travelling internationally is one of life’s greatest adventures. Whether you’re exploring sun-soaked beaches, navigating the busy streets of a foreign city, or heading overseas for work, safety should always be part of your plan. One of the simplest and smartest steps Canadians can take before leaving the country is to sign up for ROCA – the Registration of Canadians Abroad.


✈️ What is ROCA?

ROCA is a free and confidential service provided by the Government of Canada. It’s designed to keep Canadians informed and connected while outside the country.

By registering, you ensure that Canadian officials can reach you in case of:

  • Emergencies at your destination such as natural disasters, civil unrest, or health crises

  • Personal emergencies back home when family needs to get in touch urgently

  • Travel advisories and updates that could impact your safety abroad


📆 How to Register

The process is quick and convenient:

  • Register before you leave Canada, or even once you’re already abroad

  • Sign up online (you can also register family members or travel groups)

  • Travelling to multiple destinations? You can register all of them at once


🔐 Privacy & Security You Can Trust

Many travellers hesitate to share personal information online—but with ROCA, your data is secure:

  • All information is protected under Canada’s Privacy Act

  • Registration details are automatically deleted 12 months after your return (or earlier if you register again for a new trip)


💡 Why ROCA is Worth It

When you’re far from home, peace of mind is priceless. Emergencies can strike without warning, and ROCA ensures you’re never left without support. From major events like earthquakes or political unrest, to unexpected family emergencies, this service ensures you’re reachable and informed when it matters most.
