Citizens of certain countries and territories need a visa to visit or transit through Canada. The list of entry requirements by country is available at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp

Please note that a letter of invitation signed by the event organization will be required when applying for a visa. Here is the information required for the letter https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/business/bring-business-guests/letter-invitation.html

Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada or U.S citizens travelling with a valid Canadian passport or a permanent resident card or a U.S passport can use Automated Border Clearance (ABC) self-serve kiosks when they arrive at Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport to avoid long lines.

Electronic Travel Authorization

Canada has introduced a new entry requirement, known as the Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), for visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to Canada. This regulation becomes mandatory March 15, 2016. Exceptions include U.S. citizens and travellers with a valid visa.The eTA is electronically linked to your passport and is valid for five years or until your passport expires. Applying for an eTA is a simple and inexpensive ($7 CAD) online process that will take just a few minutes. Most eTA eligible applicants will get their authorization within minutes of submitting the online form.

For more information or to see if you need to obtain an eTA, visit: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp
