How can I apply?

The application process for Three-month and Summer Exchanges involves two easy steps:
• a Preliminary Application with some basic information
• a longer, more detailed Full Application which is used for matching.

Most students submit their applications in the fall/winter of the school year prior to the actual exchange:
• fall of 2011 for 2012 Summer Programs
• fall/winter of 2011/12 for 2012/2013 Three-month Programs.

Since many schools are semestered and some students may not learn about our programs 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 we receive your application, the better your chance of getting an exchange partner in the country you prefer! This is especially true for the Summer Programs, which are in very high demand.

To receive a Preliminary Application, click this Application Kit link and then download and print the appropriate Application. You can also send an e-mail to the CEEF Office in Barrie: ingridv@ceef.ca . You can also telephone (1 705 739-7596), send a fax (1 705 739-7764) or write to:

Please include the following information in your request:
• full name and mailing address complete with postal code
• home telephone number, fax and e-mail address (if applicable)
• school and school board
• preferred program (Three-month or Summer).

Submitting as much information as possible on your Full Application will help us to get to know you and your family so that we can arrange the best possible match for you!
