Canadian Education Exchange Foundation (CEEF): Student 3-month Exchange Program

CEEF student exchanges are school-based. When students apply, their school principal must approve their participation by signing the application form. There are two phases to every student exchange: a hosting period, and a visiting period. When students are successfully matched for a Three-month Program, a visiting exchange student lives with their family from the middle of August until the middle of November and attends classes in the local school once the fall term begins. To complete the exchange, students travel to the home country of their exchange partner, live with his/her family from mid-February until mid-May and attend school in that country. A CEEF Student Exchange provides the opportunity to: * live in a foreign country and be immersed in another culture * expand the student's ability to communicate in another language * host an exchange partner from that foreign country * experience living as a member of their partner's family for three months CEEF student exchange programs are designed to: * enhance language proficiency * increase awareness of other cultures * foster global awareness * promote personal growth and development * give students the chance to fulfill their dreams of adventure and travel

Application process and requirements

The application process for Three-month and Summer Cultural Exchanges involves two easy steps: a Preliminary Application with some basic information and a longer, more detailed Full Application which is used for matching. Most students submit their applications in the fall of the school year prior to the actual exchange. Since many schools are semestered and some students may not learn about the programmes until the new year, CEEF accepts all school-approved applications sent to us throughout the school year. Matching begins in April, and most students have been partnered by the end of May. Some late matching does take place in June and July. However, the earlier applications are received, the better an applicant's chance of getting an exchange partner in the country they prefer.
