FAQs
Question
I'm a UK/EU citizen. Do I need a visa to enter Canada?
Answer
All UK and EU citizens travelling to Canada require an electronic travel authorisation. You must apply for this online and in advance, as well as pay a $7 CAD processing fee. Please ensure that you apply through the official Government of Canada website (a visa agent will charge extra, unnecessary fees). Most applications are granted within 48 hours. If you experience any problems or delays, please e-mail LDNimmigration@international.gc.ca for assistance.
Question
Have Jamie & Mark set up a registry?
Answer
No - please know that your presence at our wedding is more than enough for us! We know that many of you will be spending precious time and money in order to celebrate with us, we are therefore requesting no gifts be given. Cards and well wishes will of course be graciously accepted.

Please note that transportation to and from the venue must then be arranged by the guest themselves.
Question
Do you have any activities planned for the morning of the wedding?
Answer
Yes! For those of you who would like to join Mark on the golf course on the Saturday morning, please let us know so we can book you in for a tee time. Those of you who are interested in joining Jamie and her friends for some dockside yoga (weather permitting), please let her know so our instructor will have an idea of the number participating.
Question
What should I pack for a weekend in Muskoka?
Answer
Please pack according to the weather! We are crossing our fingers that it will be warm and sunny (in which case we suggest you bring your swimsuits). If you will be golfing the morning of the wedding, please bring your clubs (you may also rent clubs). If you will instead be taking part in some yoga, please bring your gear along with a mat. Ladies, don't forget a pair of flip flops or flat shoes to change into once we hit the dance floor. Finally, for those of you making the trip from Toronto and beyond, we also suggest an excellent playlist for your drive up!
