I hope you enjoy as much as I did my exchange, and that you find your second home/ family; but remember, this is YOUR experience, from the first day you will be the one who decides how this is going to work! So good luck, and… enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!...

I gained so much independence and confidence on my exchange that I didn’t expect and now I am confident to do so much more in the future.  Coming to Canada was genuinely the best decision I have ever made and it has been the best 3 months of my life!...

Go into everything open minded. Formulate your own opinions on things. And the biggest one, cherish every moment of it. Time flies and before you know it you will be going back home again.  ...

  Keep an open mind and you will enjoy every minute of your exchange.    ...

Through the eyes of my international “children” I have learned to appreciate all of the seasons we experience in Canada – even Winter!  I appreciate long days in summer and long nights in winter. I appreciate our big sky: undiluted light from the stars and moon and northern lights. And I especially appreciate the freedom ...

The students and staff of Carberry Collegiate are always excited to have International Students attend our school.  The opportunity to help students learn about our language, community and culture benefits both the International Students and the students at Carberry Collegiate.  Many friendships have been established and maintained through International Program and we hope to continue ...

I loved the way my host family treated me. They made me feel at home, and when someone asked about me they always said I was their daughter, they were so lovely. I cried so much when I had to come back to Brazil, because I felt like leaving my biological parents. I also had ...

I never lived in a small city or rural area before but it was awesome, I enjoyed it specifically because I could be closer to friends and family.  It was really great for me. My family and school worked perfectly and my teachers helped me go through with all that I needed. My family was ...

My exchange in Canada was the best experience of all my life! I have a lot of stories that I lived with my host family, my community and my school!! I would need a lot of time to tell everything because to me everything from the beginning until the end, little and big things, EVERYTHING ...

Thanks for everything.  You are a really good family.  I appreciate everything you did for me. I really enjoyed this month, thanks for all the love that this family gave to me and I think that I could not have had a better family than you. I love you, Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad and I ...

Dear Brazilian family and friends, I just want to say: forgive me! Because I really don’t want to leave Canada. (If I had a choice)…Here, everything is peaceful and so beautiful.  I just want to stay here, like, forever!  Sorry!...

I can’t explain how thankful I am for this experience in Canada.  These ten months have taught me so much.  I could be all day, naming every single person who made me smile, helped me, or just made this experience even more awesome.  Thank you to everyone!  You don’t know how happy I am you ...

It seemed like just yesterday I was sitting in the airplane thinking about my new adventure. There were so many things on my mind, so many questions. I was excited, of course, but there were so many emotions going on at the same time. I must confess I was a little insecure. Leaving everything behind ...

I am perfect. The people here is very friendly and the school is good. The best courses are I C T in the Mac lab and gym class. The courses are good, some of them difficult but most of the teachers are awesome and i receive a lot of help and support of them. The ...
