Libya: warning from Ottawa: Avoid All Travel

LIBYA – AVOID ALL TRAVEL

Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against all travel to Libya due to the fragile and unpredictable political situation and the threat of terrorism in the region.

The Embassy of Canada in Libya’s ability to provide consular services to Canadian citizens in Libya is extremely limited, due to continuing political instability and violence. If you are presently in Libya, you should consider leaving now while it is safe to do so.

Canadian citizens travelling to or remaining in Libya despite this advice should limit their movements and keep abreast of the latest developments. Canadians may have little notice of violent outbreaks and risk being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Canadians should use extreme caution, make their own contingency plans, and maintain security awareness at all times.

We strongly recommend that Canadians register with the Registration of Canadians Abroad (ROCA) service.
