Canadian Travel & Visa Information


IS YOUR PASSPORT UP TO DATE?

As you confirm your plans to attend AMP 2024, please make sure your passport is up to date and have confirmed your required travel documents.  Please see additional information below.


DO YOU NEED A VISA TO ATTEND AMP 2024 IN VANCOUVER?

Depending on nationality and duration of stay, registrants (attendees/exhibitors) may need a visa to attend AMP 2024 in Vancouver, Canada. Additionally, Visa-exempt travelers may be required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). It is the responsibility of the registrant (attendee/exhibitor) to ensure they have appropriate travel documents.  Please find more information here.


Should you have any questions regarding your application, you should contact the office responsible for processing your visa application (for overseas inquiries), or in-Canada inquiries can contact the Client Support Centre.
 

**IMPORTANT FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL TRAVELERS**

Citizens from countries other than the United States who do not need a visa to enter Canada will need to obtain an ELECTRONIC TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION (eTA) before flying to or transiting through Canada.

The eTA process is similar to that of the United States ESTA: travelers apply individually online here. Each individual must pay CAD $7 by Visa, Mastercard or American Express, and their eTA is valid for 5 years. Travel agents can apply for their clients, but they cannot charge a fee for this service. For more information about this new requirement, visit the eTA page for videos and fact sheets in multiple language.
