IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT VISAS
Canada, a country known for the friendliness of its people, is very hospitable to foreign visitors. Entering the Canadian territory from a foreign country is generally very easy, in most cases. However, each visitor is responsible for ensuring that he or she has all the legal documents to enter into Canada.

Avoid parking and taxi fees - Travel cheaply once you are in the city: Use Montréal Public transit system, which was voted best in North America.
For a cool and hassle-free commute, take the subway (called the ‘‘Métro’’), which is connected to the broader bus network. It is a safe, reliable and fast transit system that offers environmentally friendly underground transportation and allows you to reduce your ecological footprint.
The Hyatt Regency Hotel, the venue of the Conference, is directly connected to Place des Arts Métro station, served by the Green Line. You can use the Métro from 5:30 am to 12:30 am, and up until 1:00AM on Saturday. Bus services are available any time.
For both bus and Métro transportation, save by purchasing a Public Transit Pass for daily, weekly or unlimited weekend use, which also includes your bus 747 trip from and to Montréal-Trudeau Airport.
