Canada requires either an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA, CAD 7) for visa-exempt nationals such as UK, EU, Australian, Japanese and South Korean passport holders flying to Vancouver, or a Temporary Resident Visa (CAD 100) for nationals of India, China, the Philippines, Nigeria, Pakistan, Brazil and most of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. US citizens need neither for short visits. Apply online at canada.ca before booking non-refundable flights, allow 30–90+ days for a visitor visa plus a biometrics appointment, and carry an invitation from VIT Expo Inc. or your host exhibitor if travelling on business. Exhibitors shipping display material or samples should confirm an ATA carnet with the Canada Border Services Agency.
Estimated cost: Varies by visa type and nationality (check official site).
Processing: Varies by nationality; apply several weeks before travel.
Apply online at canada.ca before booking non-refundable flights. The eTA is verified electronically at YVR check-in and self-service kiosks. Apply online and carry the port-of-entry letter, proof of accommodation near the venue and evidence of onward travel or return booking.
