Umrah from Toronto: airports and flights
Pilgrims from Toronto usually fly from Toronto Pearson (YYZ). Toronto has direct seasonal flights to Jeddah and many one-stop connections. Most journeys arrive in Jeddah, about ninety minutes from Makkah by road or train, or in Madinah for those who prefer to begin with the Prophet’s city.
When you request a quote for umrah from toronto, tell us whether you prefer a direct flight or a better-timed connection, and whether anyone needs extra legroom, wheelchair assistance or an aisle seat. We compare the options and explain the trade-offs clearly.

Visa and Nusuk for umrah from toronto
Canadian citizens are eligible for the Saudi tourist eVisa, which allows Umrah outside the Hajj season. Umrah is then booked in the Nusuk app. Rules can change at short notice, so always confirm current requirements on the official Saudi visa portal.
Install the Nusuk app before you travel. It manages Umrah permits and Rawdah appointments in Madinah. Our Nusuk help article explains each step.
The Miqat on your route from Toronto
Flights from Toronto normally cross Al-Juhfah (Rabigh). Change into ihram before boarding or on the plane, and make your intention when the crew announce the Miqat. If you start in Madinah, you will enter ihram at Dhul Hulayfah on the road to Makkah.

When to plan umrah from toronto
The December holidays, March break, summer and Ramadan are the busiest periods for Canadian families. Late January, autumn and the weeks after Ramadan tend to be calmer. Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin around 8 February 2027, subject to moon sighting, and hotels close to the Haram fill quickly for the last ten nights.
