How to register for HOSA Canada conferences and workshops
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year!
Students must purchase a membership to be part of HOSA Canada. As a member, students will get access to US HOSA’s benefits (http://hosa.org/node/26), which include scholarships, summer research program opportunities, and more. In addition, students will get access to study resources for the competitive event they have registered for through Google Classroom.
With a membership, students can purchase HOSA Canada’s events package, which allows students to attend and participate in our monthly workshops/seminars and both the Fall and Spring Leadership Conference. For more information, please visit the Conferences and Workshops page.
Students may opt to only purchase the membership. In that case they will be able to learn the HOSA Canada content for their registered event, but will not be able to attend conferences and workshops.
Registration will begin September 9, 2022.
How to register as a new member of HOSA Canada:
- Create an account on shop.hosacanada.org. Make sure to complete all fields of the registration form correctly, to avoid improper registration for the conference.
- Add the membership and/or events package to your cart, and check-out. Please ensure that when you purchase these items, that you complete the purchase under the student’s name and account, or else we cannot associate the payment with the student. If you are using another individual’s credit card, you may only change the name for the billing address component.
- You are now registered, and will receive your Google Classroom resources within 7 business days of the payment!
- IMPORTANT: Please provide us with a Gmail address only, Google Classroom does not permit us to add email addresses that do not have a Gmail domain.
How to register as a returning member of HOSA Canada:
- Simply login to shop.hosacanada.org with the same login credentials used in the previous school year.
- If you are using an older account (registered in previous years), make sure you update your account information here (you need to change at least one field). If you don’t update your information and click the UPDATE ACCOUNT button, you will not be registered even if you purchase this package.
- Repurchase the membership and/or events package to your cart, and check-out. Please ensure that when you purchase these items, that you complete the purchase under the student’s name and account, or else we cannot associate the payment with the student. If you are using another individual’s credit card, you may only change the name for the billing address component.
- You are now registered, and will receive your Google Classroom resources within 7 business days of the payment!

HOSA Canada Fees
The membership fee is $50. The membership provides you with access to a study account, International membership (http://hosa.org/node/26), and Canadian membership.
The events fee is $65. The events fee allows you to attend both FLC and SLC, as well as the many workshops and seminars that take place throughout the year.
Or you can purchase both the membership and events’ package together for $115.
If students register before November 11 at 11:59 pm they will get to take part in our Fall Leadership Conference (FLC), where they can test out their preparation and see where they rank amongst their peers. Students do not need to register again for the Spring Leadership Conference (SLC), as the events fee includes both conferences.
If students register after November 11 at 11:59 pm they will not be able to participate in FLC, but can still participate in SLC and attend workshops throughout the year.
This year as HOSA Canada brings back in-person SLC and introduces additional workshops/seminars, the cost for our program has slightly increased. This is also as a result of inflationary costs for conference venues, testing platforms, and conference equipment, following the pandemic.
How to edit your registration details
To edit your registration details such as your name, email, competitive event, teammate information, etc., simply login on shop.hosacanada.org, click the person icon at the top right, and click edit account.
IMPORTANT: You must ensure that shop.hosacanada.org contains your most updated information, this is especially important for your email, competitive event, and teammate details. If you change your event, you must also email us at info@hosacanada.org, to request new resources to be sent to you.
