Travelling internationally is one of lifeâs greatest adventures. Whether youâre 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 â the Registration of Canadians Abroad.
âď¸ What is ROCA?
ROCA is a free and confidential service provided by the Government of Canada. Itâs 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
đ How to Register
The process is quick and convenient:
Register before you leave Canada, or even once youâre 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
đ Privacy & Security You Can Trust
Many travellers hesitate to share personal information onlineâbut with ROCA, your data is secure:
All information is protected under Canadaâs Privacy Act
Registration details are automatically deleted 12 months after your return (or earlier if you register again for a new trip)
đĄ Why ROCA is Worth It
When youâre far from home, peace of mind is priceless. Emergencies can strike without warning, and ROCA ensures youâre never left without support. From major events like earthquakes or political unrest, to unexpected family emergencies, this service ensures youâre reachable and informed when it matters most.
đ Ready to Register?
Donât wait until youâre at the airport. Take two minutes today to set yourself up for safer, smarter travel.
⨠As a local realtor who also loves exploring the world, I believe in travelling safe and smart. Whether youâre planning a quick getaway or an extended stay abroad, registering with ROCA is one of the easiest ways to protect yourself and your loved ones.
đ If youâd like more tips for safe travel or if youâre looking to buy or sell a home here in the Tri-Cities I would be happy to help.
