Welcome to the visa support information for FAccT 2026, taking place June 25–28, 2026 in Montréal, Canada at Le Centre Sheraton Montréal.
Do I Need a Visa to Travel to Canada?
Most international attendees will need either a visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa — TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) before arriving. Whether you need a visitor visa depends on your citizenship and travel document.
- If your passport country is visa-exempt for travel by air, you may require an eTA instead of a visa.
- If your passport country is not visa-exempt, you will need to apply for a visitor visa (TRV).
- Transit through Canada may also require a visa or eTA depending on your nationality.
- Visitor visas are typically valid for entry for up to six months or longer, depending on the visa issued.
Official eligibility and requirements for Canada visitor visas can be confirmed on the
Government of Canada website
.
General Canada Visitor Visa Guidance
To qualify for a visitor visa, applicants generally must show:
- A valid travel document (passport)
- Evidence you will leave Canada at the end of your visit
- Proof you can support yourself during your stay
- Any additional documents required by the visa office in your country
Most people apply online through the IRCC portal, and processing
times vary by nationality and time of year.
