REMINDER: ----------------------------------------------- Colleagues, Registration and group hotel reservations
are now open for the May Interim scheduled for May 23-27, 2016
at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler, BC, Canada, hosted by the
Ethernet Alliance. As always, please book your hotel early to
ensure availability. New eTA requirement for non-U.S.
visa-exempt citizens Citizenship and Immigration Canada has
informed us of a new regulation affecting visitors to Canada:
Starting March 15, 2016, visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly
to or transit through Canada will need an Electronic Travel
Authorization (eTA). Exceptions include U.S. citizens and
foreign nationals with a valid visa. To apply for an eTA you must have a valid
passport, a credit card, and email address. The cost is $7 CAD
and your eTA will be valid for up to five years. You do NOT need
an invitation letter or any documentation from the meeting
planner. Please apply here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta-start.asp Traditional visas Visitors from countries requiring visas
should request an invitation letter from the meeting planner as
soon as possible, as visa processing can be slow. Please
register for the meeting using the link above, and then request
your letter using the link on the meeting page. Determining whether you need an eTA or
visa All foreign meeting attendees who are not
U.S. citizens should check this page to determine what
documentation will be required to visit Canada: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp eTA FAQs are available here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1036&top=16 Regards, Steve Chair, IEEE P802.3bp 1000BASE-T1 PHY Task
