SIAL Canada, the food industry trade show that is part of the global SIAL network, returns to Toronto from Tuesday 27 to Thursday 29 April 2027 at the Enercare Centre, 100 Princes' Boulevard, on the Exhibition Place grounds beside Lake Ontario. The show alternates between Montreal and Toronto, and the 2026 edition at the Palais des congrès de Montréal brought together more than 850 exhibitors and 26,000 professionals, with visitors from more than 90 countries. Retail, foodservice and food processing buyers, distributors, importers and manufacturers come for three days of exhibits, buyer meetings, the SIAL Innovation awards, competitions and conferences. Exhibition Place sits west of downtown, and its operator says transit is the preferred way in during large events. That makes the realistic bases the grounds themselves, where Hotel X Toronto stands opposite the Enercare Centre, neighbouring Liberty Village, King West and the Entertainment District, or the hotels around Union Station, where the UP Express from Pearson Airport arrives and the 509 Harbourfront streetcar runs to Exhibition Loop. This page shows live Toronto hotel rates for the show dates, which you can change for build up or extra meetings. Visitor badges are handled by the organiser, separately from your hotel.

Where should you eat during SIAL Canada?
The Metro Toronto Convention Centre is right in the core, so almost everything worth eating in the Financial District is a 5-15 min walk or a short PATH stroll in bad weather. No taxi needed for most of these; reserve early during PDAC when the whole district books out.

Contemporary French tasting menu
Spadina Ave, ~12 min walk / short cab northwest
Toronto's benchmark fine-dining room, a multi-course tasting experience for the dinner that has to impress a top client or seal a partnership. Impeccable service and one of the city's best wine programs.
Tip: Reserve weeks out; there is a more flexible bar area if the dining room is full.

How do you get to SIAL Canada?
From Toronto Pearson (YYZ)
- UP Express connects Toronto Pearson International Airport with Union Station in downtown Toronto, and the operator puts the trip at 28 minutes
- UP Express also stops at Weston, Mount Dennis and Bloor stations, which can suit a hotel in the west of the city
- From Union Station, the TTC's 509 Harbourfront streetcar runs between Union Station and Exhibition Loop on the show grounds
- Taxis and ride apps run from Pearson too; Exhibition Place warns that large crowds bring heavy traffic around the grounds, so allow extra time by road
From Billy Bishop, by GO train or by car
- Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on Toronto Island serves more than 20 cities in Canada and the US, and Exhibition Place says it is 10 minutes away
- There are two transit stations on the Exhibition Place grounds, and GO Transit and TTC both have drop off points there
- Exhibition GO station, on the grounds, is being expanded for the future Ontario Line, so follow the signs to the current station entrance and check GO service notices before you travel
- Drivers can use five vehicle entrances, including Dufferin and Saskatchewan Road, Strachan Avenue and three from Lakeshore Boulevard; Exhibition Place says spaces fill very quickly and rates are dynamic
How do you get around during SIAL Canada?
Getting to the Enercare Centre each day
- Exhibition Place calls transit the preferred option for reaching the grounds, with the TTC and GO trains both stopping on site
- The 509 Harbourfront streetcar is the simplest link from hotels near Union Station and the waterfront, ending at Exhibition Loop
- Hotel X Toronto stands on the grounds within the Princes' Gates, opposite the Enercare Centre, for anyone who wants to walk to the halls
- Taxis wait at all main entrances to Exhibition Place, which helps after evening receptions
Around Toronto
- Liberty Village, just north of the grounds, and King West offer restaurants and newer hotels within easy reach of Exhibition Place
- Union Station is the city's rail hub for UP Express and GO trains, so downtown hotels make airport days and day trips straightforward
- Exhibition Place has 732 bike racks on the grounds if you prefer to cycle in from a nearby hotel
- Check the TTC service advisories before you travel, as streetcar routes on the waterfront are sometimes replaced by buses for track work or events
Do you need a visa for SIAL Canada?
eTA and visa-free
- Visa-exempt foreign nationals, including citizens of the UK, most EU countries, Australia and Japan, need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to fly to or transit through a Canadian airport
- Apply only on the Government of Canada website: the fee is CAN$7, most applicants are approved by email within minutes, and the eTA is valid for up to five years or until the passport expires
- US citizens are exempt from the eTA and need proper identification such as a valid US passport; no eTA is needed when arriving by car, bus, train or boat
Visitor visa required
- Most other travellers need a Canadian visitor visa, and the Government of Canada advises getting an eTA or visa before you book flights
- Business visitors may attend meetings, conferences, conventions or trade fairs without a work permit, and can usually stay up to six months
- If your event is registered with IRCC, the organiser can give you an event code to enter on your visa application; ask SIAL Canada early if you need one or an invitation letter
Documents to carry
- A passport valid for your entire stay, and for eTA holders the same passport you used to apply, which you show at check-in
- Letters of support from your company and a letter of invitation from your Canadian host, kept with you rather than in your luggage
- Proof that you can cover your stay and your return home, plus your SIAL Canada registration and hotel booking
Canadian entry rules change; check current requirements on the official Government of Canada (IRCC) website before you book travel.
First time at SIAL Canada?

Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Do not confuse the editions: SIAL Canada 2027 is in Toronto, while the 2026 show was in Montreal and the organiser has already announced Montreal again for 19 to 21 April 2028
- If you stay downtown, a hotel near Union Station gives you the UP Express to Pearson and the 509 streetcar to the show on the same doorstep
- Exhibition Place says road traffic gets heavy when large crowds come in, so leave the car at the hotel on show days if you can
