Invitation Letter Support
To support international delegates requiring documentation for travel purposes, the organizing committee of the 29th International Conference on Supply Chain Management is pleased to provide official invitation letters to registered participants. These letters confirm your acceptance to present or attend the conference in Toronto, Canada, and include relevant event details such as dates, venue, and your role at the conference.

Invitation letters are issued solely on the basis of confirmed registration and, where applicable, paper acceptance notification. The conference secretariat strives to process all letter requests promptly, typically within three to five business days of receiving a complete request. Delegates are advised to apply for their travel documentation well in advance of the conference dates, as visa processing timelines vary significantly by country and consulate.
It is important to note that the issuance of an official invitation letter by the conference organizers does not guarantee visa approval or entry into Canada in any way. Visa decisions rest entirely with the relevant immigration authorities of Canada, and the conference committee holds no influence over those outcomes. Delegates are solely responsible for ensuring they meet all entry requirements and for bearing any costs associated with their visa application process.
