In order to travel to Canada, there are certain entry requirements you must meet depending on the country you live in.

The Government of Canada issues and updates a Visa Exemption List. We recommend checking the official website regularly when planning your trip, so you can request a visa if needed.

You can also visit the IATA TravelCentre website, input information about your trip, and receive details about what immigration and health requirements must be met.

Invitation Letters

If you require an invitation letter to support your visa application, please complete our Visa Letter Request Form. This must be completed after you register for the conference, and we recommend filling it out at least 4 weeks before the conference in order to allow time to receive your visa application decision. Visa letters will still be processed after this date but may not be approved in time.

Please allow up to 3 business days for your letter request to be fulfilled and sent to your email address. ISCB Staff do not process any letter requests on weekends or days that are deemed federal holidays in the United States of America.
