Entry to Canada

Citizens of certain countries require a visa to enter Canada. For more information, please consult Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp.

Effective March 15, 2016, visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to Canada will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). US citizens and travellers with valid visas are exempt from this requirement.

Entry requirements for other methods of travel (land, sea) have not changed. Do not wait until the last minute; apply for an eTA now.

Invitation Letter

It is the traveller’s responsibility to ensure that the appropriate entry documentation is obtained prior to travel. The Bank of Canada can provide a letter of invitation to confirm your intended activities in Canada which may facilitate your entry at the Canadian border or support a visa application.

If you require a formal invitation letter in order to obtain a visa, please contact us as soon as you have registered for the conference.
