Why book using the TPS link?

As a meeting attendee, it is important for you to book your hotel room in the TPS housing block to guarantee the best accommodations and most competitive nightly rates, especially in the event of overbooking or construction.

Filling a room block is important to the Society because it provides a "report card" on the Society's meeting sites.  By establishing a history of always filling the room block, the Society is able to secure both competitive room rates and larger blocks in subsequent years. 

 

Visa Letter Information

All international attendees who will need to obtain a visa to enter Canada are urged to contact the nearest Canadian Embassy or Consulate and begin the application process as soon as possible, but no later than 3 to 4 months before the meeting. Because of the number of visas being processed and the need to be thorough with the reviews, the process can take as long as 8 weeks.

To obtain a letter of invitation you must first register for the meeting and pay any registration fees in full. No letters will be issued without a paid conference registration.
