Credit Cards Chip or no Chip

Does anyone know for sure if a standard Non-Chipped credit card (visa or Master card) can be used when we port here?

I know in Europe and Canada they are requiring Chipped credit cards only and will not accept any without the chip in them.

Thank you.

No chip -- no problem.

I don't think you really need the chip card even in Europe. It's better if you have one, but in touristy places they are accustomed to dealing with Americans that don't.

Not sure where you got this information but it is incorrect.

I live in Canada and disabled a chip AMEX card since a grocery store I use had trouble reading AMEX chips . No problem anywhere I use it.
