COVID-19: Planning Your Travel to Canada
As travel restrictions begin to ease, many variables still exist on who can travel to Canada based on country of origin. The Canadian government has developed an informative and detailed set of resources for foreign nationals wishing to visit Canada which can be found at:

The Travel and Immigration Portal offers the most current information to help you as your plan your upcoming travel to the 2021 IEEE ECCE event, checklists for required steps for entry, an interactive wizard to determine if you qualify for entry, as well detailed information on Canada’s mandatory health declaration form, ArriveCAN, which must be completed prior to entering the country.
We strongly encourage all participants to review this detailed information prior to booking your travel to the conference.
ECCE is strongly encouraging face masks onsite
