Turks & Caicos is rarely cheap to get to from Calgary. AirCanadaVacations occasionally drops their charter flights to PLS out East, which results in a price drop here, but it's rare.
So I don't think waiting for any specific season will necessarily help your chances. Although winter might actually have a better chance of a lower price than the warmer months, which sounds counter-intuitive, but there are not as many charter flights in the warmer months, and those are the ones that drop to PLS, with flights on the major airlines tending to always remain expensive no matter when you go.

When is the best time of year to visit the Turks and Caicos?
Honestly, all year round is great. We get a bit more rain in the spring (April/May) and toward the end of the year, but not enough to change vacation plans. Hurricane season is technically June to November, but ‘peak season’ is September and October. With today’s forecasting capabilities, most storms can be predicated up to a week or so in advance with decent accuracy. It’s hottest here in August and September; it’s coolest in January and February. It’s most crowded here from Christmas through Easter (although never real crowded) and the week after New Years is traditionally a slow one. It’s least crowded in September and October and in fact some resorts and other businesses close during that period. Summer is a nice time with generally calmer waters – and lower hotel rates. Some major events on our calendar are Christmas and New Years; a Summer Festival usually at the end of July, and the annual Conch Festival the last Saturday in November. Bottom line, come down any time and while we don’t have the traditional four seasons of northern climes, we do have a bit of diversity.
