Pick other. A business visa is described in the link. When is the conference and where are you applying from?

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=434&top=16
 
I have an invitation letter from the Canadian Association of Global Health.
Where do you live? Are you a speaker? Is the conference paying your expenses? How long is your visit. You need to show purpose of visit, ties to home country, funds.

The conference has a step by step guide to apply for a TRV so follow their instructions.
 
I'm not a speaker but I am a researcher I have my family and my job waiting for me
they are giving the instruction for IRcc Portal (New portal) I Choose the old GCKEY way Cuz it gives me much space to explain my situation

Okay.. Then do you what you want to do. Where do you live? Depending where you live then you may not get visa in time.
 
I will try anyway the Ircc process time 85 days for my country i still have time i believe.
so should I choose other for the main purpose?

I would follow the conference directions as they tell you what to do. It is not a business meeting.

85 days is an estimated average. Could be shorter but also longer so I would not delay applying.
