International Participants
All international visitors entering Canada are required to present at the Canadian point of entry a valid passport and - depending on the citizenship - a valid visa issued by a Canadian Consular Official might also be required. More information on the Canadian immigration policies with respect to visitors to Canada is available here. Furthermore, supplementary information on the policies enforced by the Canada Border Services Agency is available here. Please note that all visitors arriving to Canada by air will be required to complete a CBSA declaration card.
Individuals requiring an official letter of invitation in order to obtain a Canadian visa may request one by email at cquintus@uwo.ca.
The issuance of the invitation letter does not imply that any other conference fees or expenses will be assumed by the symposium organizers on behalf of the individual requesting the letter. While the processing time for Canadian visa varies broadly among the Canadian consular offices located abroad, we recommend to all participants who require a visa to enter Canada to apply for it at least 3 months in advance of their intended departure.
