The Canadian government has updated its travel advisory for France, warning citizens to exercise a “high degree of caution” due to an elevated threat of terrorism, according to a statement issued on Monday.
The advisory notes that phone lines at the Canadian Embassy in Paris are currently down, further complicating communication for citizens in need of assistance. Travelers are urged to remain vigilant and monitor local authorities for updates.
“Over the past few years in France, several opportunistic and premeditated attacks have occurred. These have resulted in many deaths and injuries. Further attacks are likely,” the statement said.
While the advisory does not cite any specific new incidents, it reflects growing concern over continued security threats in the country. France has experienced multiple high-profile attacks in recent years, many of which have been linked to extremist motives.
The Canadian government did not raise the advisory to “avoid all travel,” but emphasized that citizens should be particularly cautious in public places, especially transport hubs, tourist attractions, and places of worship.
The situation is being monitored closely by Canadian authorities. No timeline was given for the restoration of embassy phone services in Paris.
