The Canadian government has warned LGBTQ+ members planning to visit the United States that they may be at risk in certain areas of the country and has urged them to check state laws and local regulations before traveling. The warning was accompanied by a link to a government website that confirms that some foreign jurisdictions may target individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Such warnings are published online on the "Global Affairs Canada" website and are typically aimed at countries known for human rights violations against LGBTQ+ individuals, such as Russia, Egypt, and Uganda.
In general, travel advisories from Canada focus on risks associated with political instability or natural disasters.
