Become a Travel Agent in Canada

Thinking about becoming a travel agent in Canada? Whether you're looking for a career change or a flexible side income, the travel industry offers rewarding opportunities for self-motivated individuals.

What Does a Travel Agent Do?

Travel agents help clients plan and book travel experiences — from cruises and all-inclusive resorts to custom itineraries, destination weddings, and group tours. As an independent advisor, you're the expert your clients rely on to navigate a complex world of options.

Licensing Requirements in Canada

Requirements vary by province. In Ontario, travel agents must be registered with TICO (Travel Industry Council of Ontario). Quebec has its own TICO-equivalent body. Other provinces have fewer formal requirements. Phoenix Voyages guides you through the process for your province.

How to Get Started

The fastest path to becoming a travel agent in Canada is through a host agency like Phoenix Voyages. Rather than starting your own travel agency from scratch, you work as an independent contractor under our TICO registration and benefit from our supplier relationships, booking tools, and training.
