When in my pregnancy should I travel to Canada?
Most airlines refuse to carry a passenger from about 36 weeks, and many ask for a doctor's letter from 28 weeks — the exact rule is set by each carrier, so check yours in writing. Arriving earlier also leaves time to register with a hospital and start prenatal care locally. «BUSINESS INPUT: the arrival window Maple plans for»
The airline rule is the hard constraint
Carriers publish their own cut-off for pregnant passengers and enforce it at the gate. A refusal to board is not appealable and the ticket is usually not refundable. Confirm the rule for the specific airline and route, and carry the doctor's letter it asks for.
What earlier arrival buys
- Time to register with a hospital and be accepted as a patient before the delivery.
- Continuity of prenatal care rather than a single handover late in pregnancy.
- Margin if a visa, a flight or an accommodation booking slips.
