We assess the role and nationality of each participant — including speakers, attendees, vendors, performers, and staff — to determine whether they require a:

• Temporary Resident Visa (TRV)
• Electronic Travel Organization (eTA)
• Or a work permit, if applicable

In some cases, individuals may be eligible to enter Canada without a work permit under specific exemptions. We evaluate each situation carefully and provide guidance on how to lawfully avoid unnecessary permits when possible.

‍

We clarify visa or permit requirements for members of organising team, such as:

• Event management and administrative staff
• Technical and logistics crew
• Vendors, contractors, and installation teams

This ensures that everyone involved in your event enters Canada lawfully and without delays.

‍

If your event qualifies, we assist with identifying and registering an official Event Code through IRCC, helping streamline visa processing for participants.

Organizing International Events in Canada – IRCC Guide

We draft legally compliant invitation letters for all categories of participants or review and improve your existing drafts to meet IRCC’s formal requirements.

IRCC Guide – Letter of Invitation

Each letter includes the required details: event purpose, dates, organizer’s contact info, and the invitee’s role.

We provide personalized legal consultations to organizers and key participants via Zoom to:

• Clarify Canadian entry requirements
• Address eligibility questions for TRV, eTA, or work permits
• Evaluate potential risks (e.g., prior refusals, inadmissibility)

If a participant—such as a VIP or keynote speaker—has been refused a visa, we can:

• Obtain and review GCMS notes to identify refusal reasons
• Recommend a reapplication strategy or strengthen documentation
• Provide legal representation in complex or time-sensitive cases
