This includes Passport and Visa requirements, documentation for re-entry into country of residence and any other identification needed. Please allow sufficient time in advance of the meeting for processing of all necessary documentation.

Most foreign nationals need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada. To find out if you need a TRV or eTA to travel to Canada, see: Find out if you need a visa to travel to Canada.  Here is a list of all countries that require visa or eTA

Please refer to this Visa Application Guide to learn about a TRV and the process to apply for one.  If you do need to apply for a TRV, you will want to alert Keystone Symposia to request an invitation letter with an event code, if applicable.  You will also want to send your full name, as it appears on your passport, citizenship and your Visa application number when you obtain it.  email info@keystonesymposia.org with this information so that we can submit to the Canadian visa officers on your behalf.
