For a beautiful vacation in Canada, you have to choose your travel dates with care. First you should know that for a summer trip, the high season is between mid-July and mid-August. It is during this period that there are the most travelers on the roads and, of course, that the prices are the highest. That being said, it is possible to travel between mid-May and mid-October without having to expect winter conditions.

Between mid-September and mid-October, you can experience Indian Summer in Canada. Trees are colourful and weather is still enjoyable. Some say it is the best time to tour Canada.

For a winter trip, make sure to pick dates between Christmas and mid-March. The busiest times are obviously during the holidays but also the last 2 weeks of February.

If you are planning a Quebec road trip in the summer, you might want to know a few tips to protect yourself from biting insects which, let's face it, can sometimes make a few nature walks a bit less enjoyable. 

Sunrise and sunset bring out the unpleasant mosquitos, especially if you are close to water. Make sure to pack long and light colored clothes and do not wear perfume. Cover your body the best you can, especially your ankles and feet.

Your most effective ally during your Canada tour will be a DEET-based mosquito repellent. You can buy them when you arrive in Canada, as they do have an expiry date. 

For a 2 weeks Canada itinerary or even a longer one, it is better to know what to put in your suitcase in order to be comfortable even with the changing weather.
