Trade Mission to India - Travel information
Accommodation
Participants are responsible for covering the costs of their own accommodations.
Global Affairs Canada will reserve a block of rooms at hotels in each city. To be included in our block booking, complete the Accommodations portion of the online registration. An email will be sent to you confirming the hotels along with the block reservation codes.
Travel arrangements
It is your responsibility to make your own travel arrangements, including all air and ground transportation to and from the airport (unless otherwise noted in the business program). Please make sure to purchase cancellation insurance and/or a refundable ticket in the event that the dates of the mission change.
Travel requirements
An entry visa is required for India. Your passport must be signed and valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry (with a minimum of 2 blank pages). An onward ticket is also required. Consult the High Commission for the Republic of India or one of its consulates for up-to-date information on entry requirements.
Consult the latest Country Travel Advice and Advisories for India. The Government of Canada’s official travel advice includes essential information on safety and security, local laws and customs, entry requirements, health conditions and other important travel issues, including important travel health information under the Health tab.
Sign up for the Registration of Canadians Abroad service before leaving Canada, so we can contact and assist you in case of an emergency abroad or inform you about an emergency at home.
If you need consular assistance, while abroad, your first point of contact should be the closest Canadian government office – the High Commission in New Delhi. Contact information can be found in the Assistance tab in the Travel Advice and Advisories. The Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 613-996-8885 (collect calls accepted) or by email at sos@international.gc.ca.
