IRCC has officially joined the FIFA World Cup 26 hype, and honestly, I didn’t have an “immigration + football crossover episode” on my list, but here we are. ⚽️🇨🇦
Between June 11 and July 19, 2026, Toronto and Vancouver will be hosting 13 matches.
So, your team might be ready… but is your visa?
Because, the only thing worse than your team being eliminated…, is you being eliminated at the airport
In true IRCC fashion, they’re preparing behind the scenes, tightening screening procedures, coordinating with FIFA, and making sure no one gets a “red card” at the border for missing paperwork.
To those of you planning to travel to Canada for the World Cup whether you’re playing, coaching, cheering, or just there for the vibes apply for your visa or eTA early.
IRCC has even set up a shiny new FIFA World Cup page with everything you need, I mean your entry requirements, visa details and the whole play book.
Check this one out to make sure you don’t miss anything!
