International Travel Information

Depending on where you live, you will need to meet certain entry requirements to visit Canada. Detailed information on travel to Canada, including Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) and Visa information, can be found on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.

Green card holders, students on Visas and travelers from all other countries will require an eTA.  An eTA ($7 CAD) can be applied for on your smartphone or computer. Most applications are approved within minutes, but we recommend applying a few weeks before scheduled travel in case you need to provide additional documents (as is the case with some applicants).

U.S. citizens do not require an eTA to travel into Canada; they require a passport. If you do not possess a U.S. Passport, visit the U.S. Department of State’s website. U.S. Passport application can take up to 6 weeks.

Currency

The Canadian dollar is Toronto’s currency.  U.S. dollars are accepted in many Toronto establishments, however you will receive change in Canadian funds and exchange rates differ from merchant to merchant.  Cash ATM machines are available throughout the city.  Currency exchange is available at kiosks in the city and at the airport.

Mobile Phone Roaming

If you plan to use your cellular phone frequently, you may want to consider options that keep heavy roaming costs at bay.  Check with your service provider for international travel plans.

The meeting will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
