The Consulate General has taken the liberty of reserving a block of rooms for three nights (March 30, 31, and April 1st) for mission participants. Each participant will be asked to pay their own hotel costs. Each participant is responsible for their hotel, transportation, food and incidental costs. We will give the hotel information to you, so you can directly book your room, once you have been accepted into the trade mission.
We will make special arrangements with Air Canada to provide participants a discount airfare.
