Visa

Invitation letter for visa: The CAIDP secretariat will provide a letter of invitation to aid obtaining a visa for entry into Canada. It is the sole responsibility of the participant to take care of any visa requirements. Participants who require an entry visa must foresee sufficient time for the visa application procedure. Participants should contact the nearest local Embassy or Consulate of Canada to determine the appropriate timing and conditions of the visa application. 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. CAIDP cannot intervene with the visa application process which is fully managed by Canadian Immigration services.
