Conference is in Canada this Year!

Will you be traveling internationally to join us?

If you will be traveling to Niagara Falls from outside Canada, you will need a valid passport to enter the country. Before traveling internationally, it’s essential to have the correct documentation to ensure a smooth border crossing. Whether you’re traveling alone or with minors, different countries have specific requirements for passports, visas, and consent forms.

For adults, a valid passport is required, and some destinations may also require a visa. Minors traveling without both parents and/or guardians may need additional documentation, such as notarized consent letters.

To avoid any issues, review the latest border crossing requirements and ensure you have the necessary documents well in advance. For official guidelines and specific entry requirements, visit the following links:

Always check with the appropriate government agencies and your airline for any updates before your departure. Chromosome 18 Registry & Research Society does not hold any liability or responsibility for border crossing issues or situations that could or can arise. Safe travels!

Why come to Conference?

“I do not believe there are any words to truly describe the happiness and relief to join a community that understands! Even though we are surrounded by family, friends, and a wonderful team of specialists, therapists, and caregivers it can still feel very isolating. I met so many families and staff members that were armed with experience to shed light on so many unanswered questions.” Maggie B., first-time attendee in 2023
