Directive on Travel: Appendix B – Allowances within Canada and the Continental USA
Effective: April 1, 2026
The meal allowances are reviewed every six (6) months and resulting revisions, if any, are effective as of April 1 and October 1.
Travellers will receive seventy-five percent (75%) of the meal and incidental expense allowances starting on the 31st consecutive calendar day and fifty percent (50%) of the meal allowance on the 121st consecutive calendar day onwards at the same duty travel location when corporate residences or furnished apartments are available to travellers in the area surrounding the duty travel location, or when travellers choose to stay in private accommodation.
