I\u2019m coming from outside Toronto – is it worth it?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n
Definitely. The 2025 Conference is CILA\u2019s biggest in-person event to date and a rare chance to hear directly from key players in the legal and immigration system. It\u2019s also a great excuse to visit Toronto in the fall, with the city\u2019s waterfront and downtown core just steps away.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Is there a virtual option?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\r\n
This will be an in-person only event. The value of the conference lies in the live discussions, in-person networking, and the opportunity to build lasting professional relationships.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
