Invitation Letter Support
To assist registered participants with their travel planning, the conference secretariat provides official invitation letters upon request following the confirmation of registration and, where applicable, abstract or paper acceptance. These letters are issued on conference letterhead and include essential event details such as dates, venue, and the participant’s role, serving as formal documentation for institutional travel approvals and funding applications.
Requests for invitation letters should be submitted through the official conference portal, accompanied by proof of completed registration and any required author confirmation documents. The secretariat endeavors to process and dispatch letters promptly, understanding that many participants require timely documentation to meet institutional deadlines or to initiate travel arrangements well in advance of the event in Toronto.
It is important to note that while the conference organizing committee is pleased to provide official invitation letters as a courtesy to registered participants, the issuance of such a letter does not in any way guarantee the granting of a visa or travel authorization. All visa-related decisions rest solely with the relevant immigration and consular authorities of Canada and the applicant’s country, and participants are strongly encouraged to begin their visa application process as early as possible.
