VISA Letter and Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada:
If you plan to attend the PD24 in Vancouver, November 19-21, 2024, be sure to check the requirements for travel and entry into Canada.
Most people need either a temporary resident visa or an electronic travel authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada, but not both. Some people may only need their passport. Find out here if you need a visa to travel to Canada.
Visa processing times currently (May 2024) ranges from 30 to 180 days depending on the country you apply from, so we recommend submitting visa applications well in advance of your intended departure date. Check here for approximate visa processing times for your country.
If you wish to save some time entering into Canada you may wish to download the ArriveCAN application to provide your customs and immigration declaration to the Canadian Border Services Agency in advance. For more information, click here.
Please note that while the PD24 committee wishes to support you with this process, we do not contact the Embassy or Consulate on your behalf and are not in a position to influence Embassy or Consulate procedures or decisions.
