Entry for citizens of Canada
Rwanda's entry rules depend on nationality, not on where you set off; from Northwest Territories, citizens of Canada follow this one. As citizens of a member state of the African Union, the Commonwealth or La Francophonie, you receive a visa on arrival and the visa fee is waived for a visit of up to 30 days. As a member of the Commonwealth and La Francophonie, Canada benefits from Rwanda's rules for those groups. The official source is Rwanda's Directorate General of Immigration and Emigration; apply online on Irembo if you need a visa before travelling.
Money and payment
Rates are in US dollars rather than the Canadian dollar (CAD); guests pay by USD transfer, in Rwandan francs, by MTN MoMo, by Airtel Money or in crypto. Payment details come only from the concierge, after your dates are confirmed.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
