Visa Information
All international travellers entering Canada must carry acceptable identification and the proper travel documents. A valid passport is recommended, as it is the most reliable and widely accepted travel document for international travel. Entry requirements vary depending on where you are travelling from, how you are travelling, and the documents you hold. If you do not have the proper travel documents, you may be refused entry into Canada. Review Canada’s official travel requirements before making your plans.
Dining & Networking
Dining in Toronto is an experience in itself. The city offers an abundance of options, from MICHELIN-recognized restaurants and luxury dining experiences to flavourful family-run restaurants, neighbourhood favourites, cafés, markets, pubs, bars, and late-night spots. Whether you are looking to continue conversations after Congress programming, meet new colleagues, or enjoy a memorable meal, Toronto’s dining and nightlife scenes offer plenty of places to connect.
Activities in Toronto
Toronto is bursting with activities for every type of visitor.
