ViaRail

The Canrailpass is the perfect choice for people who want to go a long way on a limited budget. Travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific and even north to Hudson Bay!

The Canrailpass gives you a set number of one-way trips in Economy class that are valid for a predetermined number of days within a region of Canada.

Canrailpasses provide deep discounts on trips, but their use is subject to some conditions. The number of seats available to Canrailpass holders is limited, and bookings made using a Canrailpass must be done in advance of travel date. Canrailpasses are valid for travel only in the class of service for which they are issued. Upgrades to different classes are not allowed.

Choose the Canrailpass that meets your need for flexibility and price:

Supersaver Canrailpass offers the deepest discount, and tickets must be booked at least three (3) days in advance of the departure date. Limited seat availability.

Discounted Canrailpass offers a very attractive discount and allows tickets to be booked up to one (1) day in advance of the departure date. More seats are available to Discounted Canrailpass holders than to Supersaver Canrailpass holders.

A trip is defined as a continuous journey between two stations regardless of the duration of the trip. In most cases one free stopover is allowed per one-way trip. For example, a trip from Toronto to Vancouver with a stopover at Jasper would count as one trip used. If you wish to do more than one stopover, the trip is broken at the point where the longest stopover takes place. There are other conditions which would define a break in a trip. Please refer to the stopover policy below.

The Canrailpass is valid throughout the VIA network and is available for two periods:

-it has not expired;
-no trips have been made using it; and
-no tickets booked using it have been cancelled after the applicable train's scheduled   departure.

Once a trip has been made, or a ticket using the Canrailpass has been cancelled after the train's scheduled departure, it becomes completely non-refundable and non-exchangeable, even if a paper ticket has not been issued.
