Who needs a visa to enter Canada?
Obtaining a Visa to enter Canada is the responsibility of the participants. We can assist by issuing an invitation letter, however, we cannot be an authority on Visa issues, nor can we help with expediting the Visa process. Invitation letters will be issued for registered participants who fully paid the conference registration fees. You/your spouse must be registered participant/s to be considered for an invitation letter.
