Invitation letter / Visa support letter

We understand that applying for a Canadian visa can be a complex and challenging process, and having an invitation letter can be a valuable component of your application. 

To obtain an invitation letter, please send an email at pecs2024@agoraopus3.com
 

Please keep in mind that while a well-prepared invitation letter can strengthen your visa application, it does not guarantee acceptance of your Canadian visa. Visa approval depends on various factors, including your individual circumstances, eligibility, and compliance with Canadian immigration regulations.
 

  • Entering Canada

Canada is renowned for its diversity, scenic landscapes, and vibrant culture, making it a sought-after destination for conferences and academic gatherings. However, to make the most of your participation, it's crucial to start your visa application process well in advance.

 

  • Entry Requirements

Each delegate is responsible for making sure they have the appropriate travel documents and that they can comply with all entry requirements before planning their trip to Canada. The government links below will help you assess your personal situation and determine if you can enter Canada.

Visitors to Canada must be in possession of a valid passport or travel document with a minimum validity of six months beyond the period of stay.

Most people need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada, but not both. Some people may only need their valid passport.

  • Currency

Canadian currency is the Canadian dollar, which is divided into 100 cents. There are 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollar bills. Smaller coins are 5, 10, and 25 cent pieces as well as of 1 and 2 dollars. Banking and credit cards are also welcome almost everywhere.

 

  • Electricity

Is Canada 110v or 120v?

In Canada and Quebec, the standard voltage is 120 V (with a standard frequency of 60 Hz). However, don't be surprised if you hear or read 110 V. It is an old designation and it is still used by the general public.

 

  • Taxes

There are two applicable taxes in Québec: a federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 5% and a Québec provincial tax (TVQ) of 9.975%. A 3.5% accommodation tax is also in effect in Montréal.

 

  • Tips

It is customary to tip restaurant waiters, taxi drivers and hairdressers 15% of the bill, before taxes. Bellhops, porters, doormen, etc. generally receive at least $2 per suitcase or per service rendered. Coffee and food counters often have a tip cup next to the cash register; spare change is always appreciated.
