Sponsoring an Information Seminar

The Information Seminars are a great way to assist a club or community with solid advice on how to understand issues related to coming to Canada: to study; on a visit; to do business; or to live. Let us work with you on arranging a suitable location, or using facilities you have on-site.

• Your number of attendees should range between 15 and about 40. For more than that, we suggest holding additional seminars at different times, or on different days;
• As the sponsor, you will assume the cost (if any) of the location, and for refreshments. It works best to keep it simple, and to use a small room, rather than a space that may be too large;
• If you wish to incorporate the Information Session into a part of a larger gathering or conference, contact us and discuss it;
• We will work with you to use your existing communications channels to your members to promote the event. We suggest a ticketed event, even when attendance is free. This allows us to estimate attendance;
• For more information, contact Andrea Seepersaud at (647) 988-3846.

• Once the capacity of the room has been reached, there will be no more seats available for that session;
• Once you have purchased your ticket on-line, please print it out, and remember to bring the printed ticket with you. Our traditional Caribbean relaxed attitude toward time is suspended for seminars. We start and end on the tick of the clock. Please arrive a little early;
• When you receive and print your ticket after your purchase, you will have the date, time, location and agenda of the meeting.

Based on the many questions and issues readers of the Upper Canada Immigration Facebook Page and this web site have brought forward, we have a good idea of what you’d like to talk about. We leave lots of time for questions during the sessions as well.
