Is it possible for both my spouse and I to take part in the same exchange?

It is much more difficult, but sometimes possible, to arrange an exchange for spouses.* To deal with this type of application, however, it is helpful to give CEEF permission to match either one of the applicants should a double exchange not be possible. The spouse not placed could apply for a year's leave of absence from his/her Canadian school board or authority, and possibly still find an employment opportunity in the exchange country.

Commonwealth exchange countries allow spouses to work. For most other countries, employment may only be possible if no local citizens are qualified for a particular job.

*It is much easier to find a double match at the elementary level than secondary.
