The Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) is mandatory for visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to Canada except U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid visa. The eTA is electronically linked to one’s passport and is valid for five years or until your passport expires. Applying for an eTA is a simple and inexpensive online process that will take just a few minutes.
Visit Electronic Travel Authorization – Canada.if you need one, apply for a visa as soon as you decide to attend the conference. Include all requested documents and information, as incomplete applications will not be processed. Your application should also include a cover letter explaining why you are applying, your plans for your stay in Canada, and any other details that may support your application. Follow up on your application with the Canadian government office where you applied.
Check visitor entry requirementsIn some cases, international delegates may require a Letter of Invitation to support a visa application. CIM will provide a letter exclusively to registered, paying full-conference delegates. A Letter of Invitation does not guarantee entry into Canada; each traveller is responsible for obtaining the documents required for their travel.
