Good spot to hitch to golden or lake louise, stay on the speedway near the traffic light

Good spot to go to Tadoussac. Cars are arriving quite fast but the slope helps to limit the speed. There is space to stop.

Good spot to go west, speed is low, traffic was quite high early in the afternoon and there is plenty of space to park a car.

Easy to access by bus from the center. Just in front of the police's windows. But you are legal if you stay at the angle of the crossroad. There is a shoulder for car to stop and all the cars are stopping at the traffic light so it's quite easy to get a ride for west.

A lot of space for cars to pull-over on the 2 nearby parkings. Visibility is decent and you can grab the traffic coming from the vineyard. Speed can probably be an issue but there was some work on the road when I was there so it was fine for me.

Decent spot just after the bridge. All the cars have to be on one lane, they can see you from far away and the speed isn't too crazy. So if they want to spot, they can.

As said before, the spot is good with the parking of the visitor center to stop. But not a lot of traffic... I was lucky to quickly find a ride to Ste Anne des Monts.

Good spot, car aren't going too fast and they can stop in the entry of the nearby parking. But there isn't a lot of traffic and not going very far. I had to wait an hour to go to l'Anse a Valleau.

Very good spot, I had 6 cars stopping in an hour to bring me on the way of Forillon park. Sadly, I wanted to go to Rivière au Renard and I had to wait longer for that.

Petrol station is a good spot to ask , two dudes got a ride a bit out of the city

I crossed the highway to catch traffic on the main road and the cars leaving Clarenville. Nice spot with a large shoulder for cars to pull over. People coming on the highway are probably passing to fast to stop but a lot of traffic coming from the commercial area of Clarenville. I was lucky to find a ride directly to St. John's in a short time.

After my terrible experience some km away on the highway, I was walking back to this gas station holding my sign. Someone exiting from the gas station saw me and stopped. He was going directly to Clarenville so I was lucky. Not the best spot because people can go fast but there is a small place for cars to pull over and you can catch some cars leaving the gas station or take some rest there. Still, it's probably better to hitchhike from the center of Port Union.

Worst spot ever. I got dropped off here by a local who said that he knew a good spot. It's the perfect spot for a picnic but clearly not for hitchhiking. People are passing are 100km/h and will never stop for you. I had to walk back 4km to the Esso gas station between Port Union and Melrose.

Good spot to go south, in the middle of the village so low velocity and plenty of space for cars to stop. However you will mainly get short rides.

Got dropped here by someone from Elliston Not the ideal spot, people coming from Bonavista are going to fast and the shoulder is not that large for cars to pull over. You have better chances with cars coming from Elliston as they have to stop but less traffic and probably just small rides. I think it's better to go at the exit of Bonavista where all the gas station are.

Good spot to reach Forillon Park. Very large shoulder and cars are passing slowly because of the nearby cross. Traffic depends of the time of the day but I found a ride in the middle of the afternoon. The second cross that passed stopped for me.

Very good spot with a lot of space for cars to pull over. Ideal if you want to reach the entry of Forillon park. I was just removing my backpack and everything and a car stopped even before that I started raising my thumb, I was lucky.

I stood just after the A&W shop. Good spot, lot of traffic due to the commercial area, people are stopping at the traffic light so velocity is low and parking for cars to stop

Good spot to go East, people are exiting the roundabout so velocity isn't too high. There is a cross where cars can stop.

Good spot to go east, low velocity and space for cars to stop. But you will probably only get short rides

Not the best spot as cars go pretty fast even tho there is a speed camera. And visibility is pretty shit. But a guy from Canada who was driving for Nordkapp to Stockholm nonstop took me to Tore. Sadly I wasnt going to Stockholm :///. But a bit of strange guy just casually doing 20 hour of driving.

Took me 45 minutes to pass the border. Customs asked a bunch of questions, but they didn't check my bag. They were concerned if I had adapted gear for the cold. They also asked if I had a place to stay during my time in Canada. Saying I was couchsurfing in Vancouver and didn't have the address yet was enough (Although I had another place with a proper address and proofs that I was expected there.) I also had to show I have enough funds for the length of my stay. Probably easier to hitchhike directly at the border, but I wanted to walk and as border patrol was not the friendliest, I preferred taking my distances. Few cars passed me (On a winter morning, the traffic was more important southbound) when one finally stopped. Two young adults on their way to Cranbrook. They were nice.

If you don't ask people on the ferry because you fell asleep (like me), this is your best shot of getting a ride. This is where the trans canada begins again, the shuttle bus can take you fairly close. Try not to miss it though (like me), cause that will decrease your chances. If you miss all the cars coming off the ferry you'll have to wait til the next one comes. You can stand anywhere in the curve, the shoulder is very wide. Got a ride within 20 minutes.

I started my cross-Canada hitchhike out of this spot. As soon as I stood out on the road with my thumb I got a ride.

shittiest place in all of canada for hitching. it had a bad reputation. almost better to walk down the highway a couple ks until you are on a flatter, straighter section. you will get a ride but it will take a couple days. bring warm clothes

No idea about hitching from here into Canada, though...

Hitching west towards Vancouver. All the traffic going Trans Canada has to stop there at traffic lights, so it's a good spot. Also wide shoulders to pull over. And there's a lot of gas stations and dining places around, you can go there and ask people.

Got a ride to Alberta, Canada through Dawson City after half an hour :D

Gas station here where a lot of cars stop. Hitching to Anchorage, Fairbanks, Canada possible.

After 15 minutes got a ride to North Pole. Then it got much harder and longer waits - going to Canada.

Hitching south-east to North Pole, Delta Junction, Tok, Valdez, Canada. A lot of traffic, mostly locals, but some go out of Fairbanks. Good place to pull over, cars are slow after traffic lights and can see you.

Quite a neat spot, though I had to wait a bit over an hour, which is longer than Quebec average for me. Maybe beacuse I started on the morning of Canada Day. Easy to get to, $3 bus ride from the centre of Montreal. Great place to pull over, long straight stretch to get noticed from far, as though it was meant for hitching. Not so much traffic though.

I got stuck here for really long (around 3 hours), trying to hitch west to Trans Canada Highway. Empty road, especially in the evening (had luck next morning), most people going from Port Rexton turn to Trinity.

2 of us waited about 45 minutes. Cars are fast, there's no much place to stop, but still after enough time someone will pull over. Whole Trans-Canada traffic goes here.

A fair bit of long-distance traffic stops at this Petro-Canada.

With a sign for "CANADA", plenty of friendly cars stopped, though most were only going as far as Kingston. After under an hour got a ride to just south of Albany.

If going to Abbotsford Canada, unlikely you'll get a ride over the boarder, but having a sign saying you're Canadian, may help

Stand here with a sign "T.C.H." to go west. Make sure that your driver drops you ON the Trans-Canada Highway (there's a gas station just after Pitts Memorial Hwy joins TCH)

Stood here 1.5 days. Its called "Highway of Tears" because some 15 girls have been gone missing in the last few years while Hitchhiking. Finaly got taken by an American who had no idea. Worst spot in Canada to HH!

I wanted to rich Canada and it seemed to be quite good place to go out of the town. I just had to take the subway 1 until the end and walk 5 minutes. I waited there on hour.
