eTA requirement for non-U.S. visa-exempt citizens Citizenship
and Immigration Canada has informed us of a new
regulation affecting visitors to Canada: Starting
March 15, 2016, visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly
to or transit through Canada will need an Electronic
Travel Authorization (eTA). Exceptions include U.S.
citizens and foreign nationals with a valid visa. To
apply for an eTA you must have a valid passport, a
credit card, and email address. The cost is $7 CAD and
your eTA will be valid for up to five years. You do
NOT need an invitation letter or any documentation
from the meeting planner. Please apply here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta-start.asp Traditional
visas Visitors
from countries requiring visas should request an
invitation letter from the meeting planner as soon as
possible, as visa processing can be slow. Please
register for the meeting using the link above, and
then request your letter using the link on the meeting
page. Determining
whether you need an eTA or visa All
foreign meeting attendees who are not U.S. citizens
should check this page to determine what documentation
will be required to visit Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp eTA
