Do I need a visa for Canada? Can you help?
Participants from some countries require a visa to enter Canada (which can take some time to secure).
Some others need to apply for an electronic travel authorization before flying, which normally takes a few minutes, but up to a day.
It is your responsibility to find out whether you need a visa.
If you need a visa, we urge you to apply as soon as possible.
We can provide necessary documentation for funded participants.
