Travel Essentials
DUB: IST · YYZ: EDT
When it's 6:00 PM in Dublin, it's 1:00 PM in Toronto.
Irish passport holders enter Canada visa-free for up to 6 months for tourism or business. An eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is required before boarding flights to Canada. The eTA costs CAD 7, is valid for 5 years or until your passport expires, and allows multiple entries. Apply at canada.ca/eta. Most approvals come within minutes, though some take several days. The eTA is not required for land or sea entry from the US.
Passport must be valid for the duration of the intended stay (Canada does not enforce a 6-month validity rule). At the border, CBSA officers may ask about the purpose of your visit, length of stay, accommodation, and ties to Ireland. Have a return ticket accessible. The 6-month stay can sometimes be extended from within Canada by applying online before it expires (processing fee CAD 100). Working Holiday visas under the IEC (International Experience Canada) program are available to Irish citizens aged 18 to 35.
Direct flights from Dublin to Toronto run about 7 hours 30 minutes on Aer Lingus and Air Canada. Dublin to Montreal and Vancouver also have seasonal or year-round direct service. Canada uses the Canadian dollar (CAD), trading at roughly 1.45 CAD per $1 or 1.55 CAD per EUR 1. Card payments are standard everywhere. No mandatory vaccinations. Tipping is expected (15% to 20% at restaurants). Cell phone roaming from Irish carriers is expensive; buy a local SIM at any convenience store for CAD 30 to CAD 50 per month.
Dublin Bus route 747 (Airlink) runs from the city centre (O'Connell Street) to the airport in 30–50 minutes, costing €7 one-way or €12 return. DART rail does not serve the airport directly; the nearest station requires a bus connection. Ride-shares from the city centre typically cost €20–35 depending on traffic.
The M50 and M1 motorways feed into the airport; short-term parking in Terminal 1 or 2 costs from €4/30 min, while long-stay lots (P3/P4) are significantly cheaper for multi-day trips. Allow extra time during morning and evening rush hours on the M50.
UP Express from T1 to Union Station runs every 15 minutes (25 min, CAD $12.35). The station is inside T1; take the LINK train from T3 arrivals first (free, 3 min). Taxis to downtown use a meter; expect CAD $55–75.Ride-hail (Uber, Lyft) picks up at the designated Ground Transportation area; follow signs. TTC buses run to the Kipling and Bloor–Yonge subway stations (CAD $3.30) for a longer but cheaper option. Car rental agencies are at T1 and accessible from T3 via the LINK train.
Humid continental climate. Winters are harsh (−10 to −1°C, December–March) with significant snowfall. Pearson closes runways for plowing and de-icing regularly, causing wave delays. Ice storms (freezing rain) are more disruptive than snowfall and can halt operations for hours. Buffalo-effect lake-effect snow can bring heavy accumulations with little warning.
Summers are warm and humid (22–30°C) with afternoon thunderstorms that delay departures July–August. Spring and fall are pleasant but unpredictable. YYZ connections in winter require significant schedule buffer. It is Canada's most weather-disrupted major hub.
