When planning your travel to Canada, it is essential to understand the entry requirements based on your country of origin. Some delegates may need a visa, while others require an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).

We highly recommend that individuals from visa-required countries apply for their visa as soon as possible to ensure sufficient processing time for the conference.

Please note: average processing times are available here, and for some origin countries can be up to several months.

For further guidance on Canadian entry regulations, please refer to the resources provided below. If you require a visa invitation letter, please contact us at events@unpri.org.
