Canadian Visa

A reminder for those coming to Montreal from outside Canada and the US: make sure you get your Canadian visas in order. Depending on where and how you apply, your visa may take up to 4 weeks to be issued.

I requested mine over the mail to the NY embassy and it was suprisingly fast and painless: 5 days. Highly recommended. Tip: include the summit registration and hotel booking print-outs for speedier processing (less questions asked).

Don't leave it to the last week! Specially if you're presenting :)
