When and where is the Canadian Greenhouse Conference 2026?
The Canadian Greenhouse Conference runs October 7–8, 2026 in Canada. Indian business travellers need a Canada visitor visa (TRV) to attend — there is no eTA for Indian nationals.
The Canadian Greenhouse Conference is the country’s premier event for greenhouse and horticulture professionals. It brings together growers, researchers, suppliers, and technology providers for two days of education, networking, and innovation — covering everything from crop production and pest management to automation and energy efficiency.
For Indian horticulture and agritech companies, the conference is a valuable window into one of the world’s most advanced protected-cultivation industries. Canadian growers are early adopters of greenhouse automation, LED lighting, and climate-control technology — areas where Indian suppliers and partners can find real opportunities.

For Indian companies supplying greenhouse structures, irrigation, seeds, or technology, the conference is a direct route to a sophisticated and growing market.
Planning Your Trip: The Canada Visitor Visa
Indian passport holders require a Canada visitor visa (Temporary Resident Visa, or TRV) to enter Canada. There is no eTA for Indian nationals — the TRV application is made online through the official IRCC portal.
Canada TRV Required — Apply Early
Indian nationals need a Canada visitor visa (TRV). Processing can take around 31 days or more, and biometrics are required. Start the application well in advance of the conference.
A few practical pointers:
- Apply online through IRCC. The Canada visitor visa application is submitted through the official Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) portal.
- Book biometrics early. Biometrics are required and appointments can fill up.
- Prepare your documents. Passport, proof of funds, employment details, travel itinerary, and a letter explaining your business purpose.
- Allow time for processing. Plan for several weeks, and apply as early as possible.
No eTA for Indian Nationals
The eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) is only for visa-exempt nationals. Indian passport holders must apply for a full visitor visa (TRV), which requires a formal application and biometrics.
If you’d rather not handle the paperwork yourself, this is where BTW Visa Services comes in. Our specialists review your documents, prepare the application correctly the first time, and track the process — so your attention stays on the conference and your business goals.
