Visa Information and Support Letters

CANADIAN ENTRY REQUIREMENTS HAVE CHANGED RECENTLY. A new entry requirement called Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) was introduced by Immigration Canada starting 1 August 2015. The eTA applies for visa-exempt foreign nationals travelling to Canada by air. Therefore, while EU (European Union) and EEA (European Economic Area) nationals do not require a visa, they will require an eTA. Find out if you need an eTA or visa at : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/index.asp

The IEEE Vehicular Technology Society is happy to write a letter of support for all attendees of VTC2016-Fall, provided that a valid registration and full payment is received PRIOR to requesting a letter. Be sure to confirm that payment has been received before requesting a letter or the request will be denied.

Please register if this has not been done already. You will need the registration reference number and amount paid (both required). Registrants will receive a visa letter sent via email or FAX (when a fax number is supplied) by completing the form below. A hard copy support letter can be requested from R. Clint Keele once the electronic copy has been issued.

Visa letter requests will be processed until 4 September 2016. No visa letter requests will be processed after 4 September 2016. Please allow 5 working days for processing For questions contact visa@ieeevtc.org

The government of Canada may validate registrants requesting a visa with the IEEE VTC2016-Fall Registration Database.
By requesting a visa letter, you give permission to confirm your registration with the authorities in Canada.
If the original registrant cannot attend and is designating a substitute,
the database must be updated or the visa may be denied.
You can do this free of charge by contacting IEEE Registration Services.
Note: If the name in the registration database does not match the name on the visa letter request,
the request WILL BE denied. Update the name on the registration prior to requesting a visa letter.

The registrant is responsible for making changes to their registration if necessary.
