If you are planning to go to WCCC regardless of the CYCC results, I urge you to fill in the registration form (which gives me time to put the Team Canada together).
For player and player's family, please do all flight searches, check your passport's validity, and prepare for your visas if needed in advance.

Top 3 CYCC winners in each age catalogue will be automatically qualified to play in WCCC.
Filling in the registration form will be considered as you apply into the WCCC team if you do not finish top 3 in CYCC. We will review all applicants.
Do not buy flight tickets until you are approved and confirmed in the Team
