Visas & Visa Support Letters

Most people need a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization to travel to Canada. Some people may only need their valid passport. Use the following tool to determine what you need and apply online: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is able to provide visa support letters to attendees as well as authors with accepted papers, posters, or members of the conference committee. Note that ACM does not issue formal invitation letters for visas to attend ACM sponsored conferences.

For visa support letters, refer all requests to supportletters@acm.org. Please allow up to 10 business days to receive a letter. All requests are handled in the order they are received. The information below should be included with the request:

  • Your name as it appears on your passport
  • Your current postal mailing address
  • The name of the conference you are registering for
  • Your registration confirmation number
  • Titles of any accepted papers or presentations at the conference you wish to attend. For papers, indicate whether you are the sole author or a co-author.

ACM does not provide letters for transport of vendor or presenter equipment. ACM suggests shipping the materials insured to the conference facility.
