Why Do So Many Canadians Choose November for Umrah?

November is one of the smartest months to perform Umrah, and Canadian pilgrims have figured this out. The reason is simple: you get cooler weather, smaller crowds, and lower prices all at the same time.

By November, the summer heat in Saudi Arabia has faded. Daytime temperatures in Makkah sit between 25°C and 32°C, and evenings are pleasant. For anyone travelling from Canada, this makes a real difference. Tawaf around the Kaaba and Sa'i between Safa and Marwah involve a lot of walking. Doing these acts of worship in comfortable weather lets you focus on your ibadah instead of the heat.

November also falls between the busy seasons. The post-Hajj rush has settled, and the December school-holiday crowds have not arrived yet. You will find shorter waits at the Haram, easier access to the Rawdah in Madinah, and more room to pray where you want.

And because demand is lower, prices drop. Flights from Canada to Jeddah and Madinah cost less in November than in December or Ramadan. Hotels near the Haram offer better rates too. That is why our November Umrah packages are among the best value we offer all year. Prefer to travel during the holidays instead? Compare our December Umrah Packages before you decide.

What Is Included in Our November Umrah Packages?

Every November Umrah package from Islamic Tour Canada covers the four things every pilgrim needs. There are no surprises and no hidden costs.

Return flights from Canada: We book your round-trip airfare from your nearest major airport. We arrange departures from 14 airports across the country, including Toronto (YYZ), Montréal (YUL), Vancouver (YVR), Calgary (YYC), Edmonton (YEG), Ottawa (YOW), Winnipeg (YWG), Halifax (YHZ), and more.

Hotels in Makkah and Madinah: Your package includes accommodation in both holy cities. You pick the comfort level 3-star, 4-star, or 5-star and we handle the booking. You can also choose how many nights you want in each city using the search form on this page.

Umrah visa processing: We take care of your Saudi Umrah visa from start to finish. You send us your documents, and we handle the application. This is often the most stressful part for first-time pilgrims, so we remove that worry completely.

Ground transport: Airport pickups, the journey between Madinah and Makkah, and drop-offs are all arranged. You will not need to haggle with taxi drivers or figure out schedules in a country you may be visiting for the first time.

November is just one option you can browse all our Umrah packages from Canada if your travel dates are flexible.

How Much Does Umrah in November Cost from Canada?

Every price above includes flights, hotels, visa, and transport. Compare that with booking each piece on your own flights alone from Toronto to Jeddah often cost C$1,200 to C$1,600 in high season and you can see the savings right away.

Which Package Level Is Right for You?

Not sure whether to book 3-star, 4-star, or 5-star? Here is honest guidance based on what our pilgrims tell us after their trips.

Choose 3-star if your budget matters most: These hotels are clean, safe, and reliable. They sit a bit further from the Haram, so expect a short walk or shuttle ride to prayers. Many young pilgrims and groups of friends pick this option and put the savings toward a longer stay. At C$1,855 for 7 nights, it is one of the most affordable ways to perform Umrah from Canada.

Choose 4-star if you want balance: This is our most popular tier. The hotels are closer to the Haram, the rooms are more comfortable, and the price stays reasonable. Families with children and pilgrims travelling with parents often find this the sweet spot.

Choose 5-star if comfort and closeness matter: These hotels put you steps from the Haram. When the adhan sounds, you can be inside for prayer within minutes. If you are travelling with elderly parents, have mobility concerns, or simply want the shortest possible walk five times a day, this tier is worth it. Note that our 7-night 5-star package (C$2,325) costs only slightly more than the 7-night 4-star option. A detail many of our clients are happy to discover.

How long should you stay? First-time pilgrims often wish they had booked more nights. Seven nights covers your Umrah and daily prayers at both Harams, but it moves fast. Ten to twelve nights gives you time for Ziyarah, visiting Masjid Quba, Mount Uhud, and other blessed sites, without rushing your worship.

Do Canadians Need a Visa for Umrah in November?

Yes. Every traveller from Canada needs a valid Saudi visa to perform Umrah. Here is what that means for you.

Canadian citizens can obtain an Umrah or tourist visa, and we process it as part of your package. You will need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your travel date.

Permanent residents of Canada can also perform Umrah, but the requirements depend on your passport country. If you hold a PR card and a passport from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, or another country, contact us before booking. Our team deals with these cases every week and will tell you exactly what documents you need. This is one of the most common questions we receive, and the answer is almost always yes, we can arrange it.

We are a Saudi Ministry-approved agency, which means our visa processing follows official channels. You will not be left guessing whether your application went through.

How the Booking Process Works

We keep booking simple. Here is what happens from your first message to your departure.

1. Send your request: Use the search form at the top of this page. Pick your departure airport, your nights in Makkah and Madinah, your room count, and your hotel level. Or just call us at (780) 801-8610 or message us on WhatsApp.
2. Get your quote: Our team reviews your request and sends you a clear, itemized quote in Canadian dollars.
3. Confirm and send documents: Once you approve, we collect your passport copies and photos for the visa.
4. We book everything: Flights, hotels, visa, and transport are all confirmed, and you receive your full itinerary.
5. Fly with peace of mind: Our support team stays reachable throughout your journey.

When should you book? For November travel, we recommend booking by early September. Flights from Canada fill up as the month approaches, and the hotels closest to the Haram sell out first. Booking early locks in the prices listed above.

What Should Canadian Pilgrims Pack for Umrah in November?

A little preparation makes the trip smoother. Here is what our returning pilgrims recommend.

Pack light, breathable clothing for daytime, plus one light sweater or shawl for cool evenings and air-conditioned buildings. Bring comfortable, broken-in walking shoes. You will walk more than you expect. Men should pack their ihram garments in their carry-on bag, not checked luggage, in case bags are delayed.

Leaving from a Canadian winter and landing in 30°C weather is a real adjustment. Drink plenty of water on the plane and during your first two days. Bring any prescription medication in its original packaging, along with a copy of your prescription.

Finally, learn the duas and steps of Umrah before you fly. Our team is happy to share guidance when you book, and we can answer ritual questions for first-time pilgrims.
