International Travel and Visa Requirements
If you are traveling from outside the United States, it’s a good idea to start planning your visa now, as waiting periods for visas can take a lengthy period of time. We recommend you start the application process as soon as possible.
Here are some links to help with your planning and preparation:
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW| REQUEST A LETTER
Important travel information
Please note that most foreign nationals will require either a temporary resident visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization to travel to Canada and these must be obtained before travelling. You can check what you'll need by visiting the IRCC website.
To facilitate your travel arrangements, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has provided details of what you need to know about Canada’s visa application process. The IRCC has shared important guidelines and procedures that will assist you in obtaining the necessary documentation to attend the event.
Please take a moment to download and review the short document. It contains important details about temporary resident visas (TRV) and Electronic Travel Authorizations (eTA), application procedures, biometrics requirements, and other relevant information to help you navigate the process successfully.
We encourage you to familiarise yourself with this information and apply for your visa or eTA well in advance. This proactive approach will allow ample time for processing and the timely issuance of your travel documents, ensuring you can join and enjoy The IIA’s 2025 International Conference.
For full details regarding travelling to Canada, visit the IRCC website.
Letter of Invitation to obtain your visa
As part of your travel arrangements, you may need to provide a Letter of Invitation as part of your visa application. Event attendees will be able to request a letter of invitation when registering for the event on the event registration platform. This letter will include a code recognized by IRCC. Please note: if you register but are then unsuccessful in your visa application and so cannot attend, IIA will refund your Conference delegate registration fee in full (proof required).
