International Travel/ VISA Requirements
American citizens do NOT need a visa to enter Canada.
If you are attending the 2025 SOBP Annual Meeting from a country other than Canada or the United States, please read the attached document supplied by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada / Government of Canada here.
Once you have registered for the 2025 SOBP Annual Meeting, SOBP will supply a letter of invitation to accompany your visa application as required by the Canadian government. Please note that we will only provide this letter once registration has been finalized. To receive your letter, please contact the SOBP Executive Office at sobp@sobp.org.
We encourage you to begin your visa application immediately to allow for the maximum processing time. Should your visa fail to get approved, we will be happy to convert your registration from “in person” to “post-conference digital access.”

Meeting registration fees will be refunded (less $75 processing fee) if the Executive Office receives written notice to sobp@sobp.org by March 24, 2025. Substitutions are allowed at any time. (Substitutions are not allowed for award recipients.)
