Canada and Ghana have had bilateral relations for a long time. Ghana was the first African country to receive development assistance from Canada in 1957. Since then, it has received over $2.5 billion in development assistance from Canada.

In addition, Canada has trade relations with Ghana. Canadians usually visit Ghana for tourism, trade, and development. Although health care facilities in Ghana are not up to Canada’s standard and medical cost may not be as high as that of Canada, you need to have Ghana travel insurance policy before you travel to avoid spending money out of pocket in case of illness or injury.
