Invitation Letter Support
Upon successful registration, participants in the 31st International Conference on Oil, Gas, and Petroleum Engineering may formally request an official invitation letter to support their travel arrangements. This letter serves as documentation of your accepted participation status and is issued by the conference secretariat on behalf of the organizing committee, confirming your role as a registered delegate, presenter, or co-author at the Pickering event.
Invitation letters are prepared with your personal details, institutional affiliation, and conference dates as provided during the registration process. To ensure accuracy and avoid delays, applicants are asked to submit complete and verified information at the time of registration, as the secretariat is unable to issue letters containing unconfirmed or incomplete participant data.
Please note that the issuance of an official invitation letter by the conference organizing committee does not constitute a guarantee of visa approval, nor does it represent any obligation or commitment on the part of the conference or its affiliated institutions regarding the outcome of your visa application. All visa decisions rest solely with the relevant immigration and consular authorities of Canada, and applicants are strongly encouraged to initiate the visa process well in advance of the conference dates.

Disclaimer
- The 31st International Conference on Oil, Gas, and Petroleum Engineering welcomes submissions and attendees from a broad spectrum of engineering, scientific, and applied disciplines — researchers whose work intersects with petroleum engineering themes from fields such as environmental science, materials engineering, data science, or energy economics are equally encouraged to participate.
- Completion of the registration process and receipt of a confirmation email constitute the sole verified proof of attendance; delegates are advised to retain all registration correspondence, as the organizing committee is unable to confirm attendance based on payment records or communication threads alone.
- While the conference program is designed to span multiple technical sessions, keynote addresses, and networking events, individual attendees acknowledge that full participation in every scheduled session cannot be guaranteed due to capacity limitations within specific workshop rooms or specialized breakout discussions, and the organizing committee reserves the right to adjust session arrangements as operationally necessary.
