I'm Racz Kelly. I am a Filipina married to a Canadian. In this channel, I vlog about my family, how I came to Canada, my life as an OFW, my family in the Philippines and sometimes my experience in youtube.
This is a very nice video. Not only the serene beauty of Canada, but your timely comments and tips are also great in this video. I think you know what viewer's want. Great work. I had been to Canada in 2001 and drove a round trip from Vancouver island to kamloops/Banff/Jasper by car :)
Hi my husband and I are senior citizens in Toronto we are planning to take the Via train to Vancouver next year around June. So happy found your channel very useful for us. Take care and stay safe.
Please consider a via rail pass. You can can get off the train, visit a city and take another traini in few days. Really worth it. I have travelled coast to coast that way. On one occasion I was able to upgrade to sleeper class from Moncton to Montreal at the last minute.
WOW. You did a fantastic job of giving someone a "flavour" of the trip. We were in Prestige in April 2022 - yes we paid those prices, but it was a once in a lifetime trip (I'm 75). Agree with where the best scenery was so I am booked (Nov 7, 2022) to go from Vancouver to Edmonton, then catch the Edmonton to Vancouver train 4 hours later - Economy east, then lower berth west. I got a once only 40% discount back in May ($500). We had bright sunshine the whole 4 days so I have about 50 pictures of Mt Robson! Thanks for doing this.
One of the best comments I've ever had is when people who experienced the same trip agreed with my tips. Happy I could help. Have fun and enjoy your trip
The bears paw bakery in Jasper opens at 6am. Too bad, it's a 7 minute walk from the station. I live in this small town in the rockies :) Thank you for sharing your experience:)
Aww, kung alam lang namin sis, lumabas sana kami at pumunta dun.. Kaso, medyo malamig at madilim pa so nagstay lang kami ni Tracey sa train.. Si James lang lumabas.. Ang galing naman, dun ka pala nakatira..
Hey, It's a wonderful video. Appreciate the recommendations given at the end. Wish, we get the discount on Business class as well. The final recommendation of taking the train from Jasper was really a great suggestion. Thank you and God bless you and the family.
Awww thank you so much! I would love to do the Jasper to Vancouver again. The other ones, it has nothing on it and it's not worth the $$$ you'll pay and the length of travel is very long as well.
We took this trip but going the other way. We were lucky to chance upon their sale waaay before Covid happened. We had the sleeper plus ( 2 person) + single sleeper for only $600+/e. The food was delish and the crew were awesome. I remember the sleeper plus for 2 had it's own washroom but no shower. Shower was in the common car. Not many travellers during the month we travelled, surprisingly too. I love train rides and I hope to find those bargain prices again.
This is one of the best videos which has the real tips and the real videos and information people can’t search around the whole of the viral website or call the customer care, but this video gives more information in 13 minutes Dan watch spending 13 hours on any website is thank you

Not bad 4 days train ride.. when I moved from Vancouver to Hamilton back in 1986, we took a bus it was 3nights n 4 days, omg it was the longest ride ever of my life, now I’m thinking of taking a train to Vancouver
Enjoyed your video, very well done. My wife is also a Filipina from Cebu. We hope one day to travel on this train. Again thanks and looking forward to more of your video's.
Thanks Kelly, your video are very helpful, because I just book the ticket to Jasper yesterday, and this is my first time on VIA train in Canada, seems know nothing about, your info are excellent to me and my old lady, Thanks again.

Some great tips on the VIA Rail Canadian train. Now all I have to do is wait for Amtrak to start connecting to Toronto again after the height of the pandemic.
Ryan Garrity was your service attendant he is great! Good friend of mine. I’ve done the Canadian 133 times but I always travel in a cabin for 1 or 2 in the sleeper class section at the rear of the train. It’s around $1100 per trip. It’s a hobby fir me I do not work fir via
I was told by a telephone representative that there are outlets at upper and lower berths. That is not true; thankfully I found an outlet to charge my phone. Bring battery packs!
Thank you for posting this video. I am thinking about taking this trip with a 3 month old and 6 year old in 2nd week of October in Economy class because current sleeper price is $3k per person (outrageous). They are both short. Do you think it's possible to ask the staffs to turn four seats facing each other and make them a small bed for the two kids? Is the train empty enough to ask the staff to help us turn a few more seats facing each other so the adults could have a more comfortable sleep in Economy as well? Would it be manageable that way?
Wow must have been an awesome trip. I am looking at traveling from Edmonton to Vancouver this winter. You mentioned in your tips to bring cup noodles, does it means you have access to hot water in the economy class :) ? Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi @Racz Kelly Good video!! Helpful tips! We want to do a family trip, Mom, Dad, and our 16yr old daughter. We are planning to to Park our vehicle in Edmonton, we only live a few hours away. Get a flight to Vancouver, and travel Via train(Pun Intended :) back to Edmonton. Your video shows a brief few second view of "Economy Sleeping on the train." Just curious on sleeping... So you just recline your daily seats to a bed format?
Love this train! However, Toronto-Vancouver in Economy = 4 days in day coach without a shower, YUK! Go Sleeper Plus Class. Prestige Class is way overpriced!
Too bad all Canadians weren't treated as well as we treat newcomers. There are many, many Canadians who have not seen the country or experienced this journey who would benefit from 50% off, myself included.
I didn't know u get 50 % discount if u become a new Canadian citizen. I am going to be the new Canadian citizen this year. How soon you can claim this discount when u become the citizen.
Discounts are only allowed within 1 year of citizenship :) so as soon as you get one, you try availing it with your family. It's worth it because it's expensive when you buy the ticket in full price
Can someone pls respond, are they very much concern of the weight ? The requirements is to have max 23kg checked in. I have 3 bags, 15kg, 20kg and 33kg. Is that ok or should I level them?
I am curious is it worth paying 444 to take a train that will take you 5 days to reach Vancouver when you can take swoop flight for under 100. Isn't it better to just use that money to rent a car in Vancouver and go north?? I am not being synical
Hi, the price of tickets for economy starts at $450 excluding food, sleeper plus starts at $1600 and premium starts at around $5000. Both sleeper plus and premium includes food. They have shower too. Unlike economy, you won't have shower for a few days lol. There are times that via rail offer discounts. My husband, myself and my daughter got 50% off in economy so we only paid a total of $625. These are all in Canadian dollars
people who have not enough money or cheap would say something like Saskatoon have nothing to see do not come down keep sitting. Unacceptable utterly disgust
I'm so sorry for Canada. Most things about a good Canada are not true, Including clean cities - beaches, and forests. It's a big lie. The first time I arrived in Vancouver in 2018, I was shocked. As soon as I left the airport door, I saw tissue, disposable glasses, and other garbage left in the city. The further I went, the more I saw them. Before I moved to Canada, I lived in Georgia, Armenia, Turkey, Serbia, The United States, and for a short time in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Netherlands, Germany, and England, but I have never seen the amount of garbage that people leave in different Canadian cities. Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec are no less than Vancouver. Canadian and Canada Governments don't care about this tragedy. I think everything that says about Canada as a clean and powerful culture is not true. You don't need to travel to Canada to see this. Just watch some videos about walking in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Quebec. You will find the truth. Impossible for you to walk in a Canadian city and you don't see the dark side of that. Everywhere you will see garbage. You will never see this in Europe, Australia, the United States, Japan, and Korea. This amount of waste is not even seen in Malaysian, Indonesian, or Thailand cities. It is impossible for you to use public transport and not see a lot of garbage at stations or on the route. You will be surprised to find a lot of garbage even in the woods - by the rivers and on the beaches in Canada. I wish the Canadians woke up and had no enmity with their country.
