For Non-Canadian Applicants

Most non-Canadians must obtain a travel visa in order to enter Canada and participate in our Tatalu Conservation Residency program. While residents from some countries can simply arrive at the border and enter on a travel visa without a problem, residents from other countries may have to apply in advance, and will have a difficult time getting a travel visa.
If you are unsure about the requirements regarding whether or not you may need a travel visa, please see the Canadian government website here. We do not support work or student visa applications.
