Requests for invitation letters should be submitted through the official conference portal after registration is confirmed. Participants are advised to apply for their travel documentation well in advance of the conference dates, as processing timelines vary significantly by country and consulate. The organizing committee endeavors to dispatch invitation letters promptly to support timely visa applications.
It is important to note that while the conference secretariat 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 approval of a visa or entry permit by Canadian immigration authorities or any other relevant government body. Visa decisions rest solely with the respective embassy or consulate, and participants are encouraged to consult official immigration resources for guidance.
