Canadian entry requirements for attendees of 2004 Joint Assembly
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Canadian government has tightened entry requirements and the process for getting a visa in the past several years. Citizens of many countries are required to obtain visitor's visas if they intend to be in Canada for a short time. Members planning to attend the 2004 Joint Assembly in Montreal on 17–21 May should determine whether or not they are required to obtain a visitor's visa for Canada, and to begin the application process as soon as possible. In general, if an applicant cannot apply in person at a visa office of the Canadian government, the application must be mailed in with all other relevant documentation to the visa office nearest to where they live. Applicants in the U.S. are advised to allow 3–4 weeks for processing if they are applying by mail; those outside the United States are advised to allow 8 weeks for processing. There is a processing fee of Can$75.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
