Get to know us

ICES, a leader in the student exchange market for over 40 years, has a proven track record of successfully recruiting students worldwide for the USA's high school F1 and J1 programs. Now proudly part of ICES USA, ICES Canada is thrilled to expand its global reach by recruiting students for exciting new programs in Canada.

Students join exchange programs for many reasons: to experience a new culture, gain maturity, make international friends, and improve their language skills. Canadian families open their homes to share their lifestyles, broaden their understanding of other cultures, and contribute to better world relations. Local schools eagerly support youth exchange for the diverse benefits that come from having students from around the world in their classrooms. Exchange program agencies and agents throughout the world play a vital role in making these opportunities possible. ICES is dedicated to helping students, families, schools, and global partners achieve these goals.

Whether you want to sign up for a student program, become a host family, explore our exchange programs, or become a partner school or agency—your adventure with ICES Canada starts here!
