The article is from the Egyptian Times. It talks about the visa changes to, is it inferring that the government is only putting Egypt as high risk because Egypt changed the visa requirements for Canadians?
It’s not deemed high risk, we don’t have a high risk designation. We have normal caution, high degree of caution, avoid non-essential travel, avoid all travel.
High degree of caution is pretty common, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, and Bahamas are all high degree of caution. Almost every major city is high degree of caution. If Canada gave the ratings internally, most of our cities would have high degree of caution, and BC and NWT would have avoid all travel regional notices.

The US Dept of State issued a similar travel advisory for Egypt on July 13, so this may just be Canada following suit.

US Dept of State has an even higher level of travel advisory than Canada just issued.
