[802SEC] Why do we hear of some VISA Invitation letters may not get sent?

Greetings,
I have to say, we have been processing the question "Why did I not get a VISA Invitation letters?" or some variant of that...

An Invitation Letter email to the email address you provided in registration. 
If you give a different email for what ever reason, it is your responsibility to monitor that email system.

If you did not complete the necessary fields in the registration form (Passport #, Name, Country of Issue etc) or 
If you did consent to provide your information to the Federal Government of Canada.

Then Face to Face Events cannot send your information.  GDPR rules prohibit us from sharing anything from your registration to anyone for any reason other than just the receipt if you check the "don't share my information" button.

If you checked that button, and then wonder where your Invitation letter is, now you know.

Each person has to take responsibility for their VISA process.

On behalf of THE IEEE 802 LMSC, Face to Face Events has taken the following actions to help individuals attend the 2024 July IEEE 802 Plenary Session.
