• To attend the Breaking The Silence 2024 in Toronto Canada you must take certain steps to enter Canada.

  Step One: Find out if you require a Visitor’s Visa to Enter Canada

  If you are eligible to travel to Canada, it is your responsibility to investigate visa requirements and apply for a visitor visa (also called a temporary resident visa), Most of the International delegates will need a visitor visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to travel to Canada click on the link below for more information: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp

  Step Two: Check the processing Time before You Apply for your visa

  It has come to our attention that the visitor’s visa takes more than 3 months to be approved we therefore advise our international delegates to apply for their visa at least 12 weeks before the Exhibition.

  Step Three: Official Letter of Invitation

  To apply for a visa’s visa you will need an official letter of invitation from PTMOF. Please note the letter can only be issued after full payment of registration fees. The invitation letter is not a guarantee that a visa will be approved consequently, it is the jurisdiction of the Canadian Immigration Department to determine whether the delete gates meet their criteria to enter Canada; all expenses incurred concerning visa processing and participation in the exhibition are the sole responsibility of the delegate. Registration fees are non-refundable and can only be transferred to another delegate recommended by the original recipient.

The convention will share lived experiences of immigrants from Sub Saharan Africa and the Caribbean on prevention of HIV/STBBI infection and pregnancy. Emphasis will be on blending this with the realities of children raised and those born in Canada to derive the same positive health and behavioral outcomes. This will be done working with children and youth experts from Canada and the developed world. With many of the ACB youths especially female and the gender non-binary having early sexual debut ages, there has been a loss of knowledge, information, and experience obtained by their parents from their history in their new Canadian context. While the parents and those who’ve lived in the more restrictive environments in Africa and the Caribbean have been inundated with information about HIV prevention, this is not the case with their offspring, both born and raised in Canada. In the absence of saturated HIV prevention and care information, misleading belief in the nonexistence of HIV in Canada, stigmatization of HIV infection and inability to appropriately take preventive measures are the reality of these ACB youth and teenagers.
