Yes—an Irish passport can help, but an Irish-issued EHIC comes from being covered by Ireland’s public health system, not from citizenship alone. If you’ve got an Irish passport and you’re planning a Europe trip, it’s smart to sort your EHIC before you pack. The card can cut your out-of-pocket costs if you need care on

A U.S. B1/B2 visa doesn’t grant entry to Canada; you still need Canada’s required entry document based on your passport, plus normal border checks. You’ve got a valid U.S. B1/B2 visa and a Canada trip in mind. Maybe it’s a weekend in Toronto, a Niagara Falls detour, or a quick hop to Vancouver before heading
