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. |
