Visa Requirements – Apply Early!

Many attendees will require a visa to enter Canada. Processing can take 3–6 months, so apply as early as possible to ensure you can participate in WCB 2026.

Application Steps:

1. Register for WCB 2026 – After payment, you will receive a confirmation email with a welcome letter.

2. Check Your Visa Requirements:

   • Visa-required countries: Apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) via the IRCC Secure Network.

   • Visa-exempt countries: Apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).
     To confirm whether you need a TRV or eTA, see the official IRCC website.

3. Gather Required Documents – Passport, invitation letter, proof of funds, and other supporting materials.

4. Submit Your Application ASAP – Avoid delays by applying early and ensuring all documents are complete.
