Ken,
So a GMCMI Convention in Australia is probably a no go too, eh? ;-)

GMCMI has discussed the possibility of having a convention in Canada. The
passport requirement is the least of the problems: You're probably not
aware that 20 each 4'x4'x4' boxes of equipment (including chest freezers,
tables, fork lift, tools, etc., etc) and supplies (paper goods, table
covers, kitchen utensils, etc., etc.) are shipped to EVERY GMCMI convention.
It's a LOT of stuff to transport anywhere. Across an international border
and back, with customs inspection in both directions, would be a total
nightmare. There's no way we could even provide a sufficiently accurate
inventory for a customs declaration, much less survive the unpredictable
delays involved, without even considering costs.
It doesn't appear to be at all feasible to have a convention there,
unfortunately.
