The Canadian Education Exchange Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation.

The organization and management of CEEF exchanges in Canada is carried out by a small professional multilingual staff with the assistance of many volunteers -- school principals, teachers, former exchange participants, parents and retired teachers.
CEEF student exchanges are school-based. When you are successfully matched for a Three-month Program, a visiting exchange student lives with your family from the middle of August until the middle of November and attends classes in your school once the fall term begins. To complete the exchange, you travel to the home country of your exchange partner, live with his/her family from mid-February until mid-May and attend school in that country. For more information, please feel free to contact CEEF by e-mail [email protected] or telephone 705 739-7596.
