Not every person entering Canada needs a visa. Find out if you require a visa here.

We already asked if you needed a Visa support letter when you registered for our event, but if you found out after registering that you require a visa support letter, you can still request one here.

Please note, while we’ll help where we can, we have no influence over the granting of visas.

We recommend the Lonsdale Quay Hotel. It is located less than a minute away from our championship venue in North Vancouver, plus it’s above the Lonsdale Quay Market, a fresh food market. Until October 10, you can book a room with special WAC rates here.

For detailed list of potential accommodations, consult the 2022 Competitor Resource Guide.

If you like to travel light, all you really need to bring is an AeroPress and a dream. For a detailed list of what we'll provide, consult our "what we provide" section below.

That said, some extra items that you might want to consider bringing with you are brewing pitchers/carafes, hand grinders (no electric grinders, we’ll provide those), thermometers, stirrers, fines sieves, and a bunch of friends to cheer you on.

Oh and if you do want to bring your own equipment, please make sure that your equipment is able to run on North American Power (120V). Please bring any adaptors you require.

Vancouver is technically a rainforest, so there will most likey be some sort of rain during your stay — so be sure to pack a warm raincoat and water resistant shoes.

During November/December, the temperature usually sits between 4°C - 8°C. There is rarely snow in city during this time of year, but pack some warm sweaters, socks and a toque (that's the Canadian word for a beanie) just in case.

If you want to explore the city of Vancouver, there is a connected transit system of buses, the Skytrain (Subway/Metro), and the SeaBus (Ferry from Downtown to North Vancouver). You pay by using a Compass card, or you can simply tap with a credit card to board. The SeaBus terminal is very close to the Venue / Lonsdale Quay Hotel and runs 2-4 times per hour.

Taxis are scarce in Vancouver, we reccommend using Uber or Lyft if you'd prefer to travel by car.

This is really important! We are not sending out practice coffee before the competition.

In previous years, around 30% of the practice coffee never arrives to competitors. To make it fair for everyone, all competitors will receive their practice coffee one day before the World Final at 3:00pm.

No exceptions, sorry.

This year's coffee will be sourced by Cafe Imports and roasted by our friends at Quietly Coffee.
