Rewards & Recognition
As a qualifier, all program costs will be covered for you and one guest, including airfare, hotel (based on shared accommodation with qualifier), core event costs, and transfers. (Optional tours are not included).
Should you decline attendance, please click here to advise. Those who decline the trip will receive a cash payout in lieu. Achievement Level 1 – 12 will receive $6,000 and Achievement Level 13+ will receive $14,000.
To comply with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) legislation, a taxable benefit will be assessed for you and your guests’ participation at President’s Academy. This taxable benefit will be charged to each qualifier’s commission account in the fourth quarter of 2025. You will be notified by email of the amounts processed.
Taxable benefit is calculated for qualifiers by assessing all non-business-related program costs, including airfare, at approximately 60%. Taxable benefit is calculated for guests by assessing all non-business-related program costs, including airfare, at approximately 80%. Those who qualify for Business Class air travel will incur an additional taxable benefit; more information can be found here. Historically, the taxable benefit amount for qualifiers falls between $7500 – $8500. Please plan accordingly.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The coverage (no registration fee) for guests means there will be a Taxable Benefit assessed for guest participation, that will be charged to the qualifier’s commission account.
