Non-Canadian Registrants

If you are a non-Canadian registrant, you may require extra documentation to enter Canada. To determine if you need a VISA to enter Canada and to review security and travel information, please click this link to be taken to the Citizenship & Immigration Canada website. A new window will open. If your air travel will take you through ANY part of the United States of America, be sure you are up to date on their security and travel information. For your assistance we are providing this link to the USA government which will open in a separate window. Please note that we are not in any way involved in the information provided on either of the individual government websites linked here and are providing these links as a courtesy to you.
