VISA Requests

If a visa is required to enter CANADA, we can provide a letter of invitation to assist with your application.

Please complete and return the Visa Support Request Form by Monday, 01 April  2024.

The tournament host and hosting Member Association will only communicate with a Member Association, and the hosting Member Association will only provide a visa support letter if the form is completed accurately and comprehensively, and supporting documentation is provided, where requested.

The tournament host and hosting Member Association accepts no responsibility for withdrawals made due to late or refused visa applications. It is the responsibility of the Member Association to apply for the necessary visas in sufficient time, and all matters should be directed to the Embassy in charge.

Any visa support letter issued by the tournament host does not guarantee entry into CANADA; the final decision is made by the Government of CANADA.
