Visa Information
General
Visitors to Canada may require a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter the country. Verify the entry requirements for your country of residence well in advance of your planned travel. For detailed information and online applications, visit the Government of Canada’s official immigration website.
If you are traveling solely to attend the IMCS 2027 conference, refer to the section “Visit Canada on Business” on the official website. We strongly recommend reviewing visa processing times early to ensure sufficient time for approval before departure.
