Student Resources

Are you a student getting ready to take part in a Canadian International Services program? The resources you will find in this section are designed for 1) before you leave for Canada, and 2) during your time in the program. Before leaving for Canada, you should check out our Frequently Asked Questions, and also start your packing list using our “what to bring” lists.

Once you arrive in Canada and are taking part in the program, you and your family will be able to access a secure section of our website via a password that will be provided. There you will find a student blog (with photos and videos) that you will create together with your class, as well as a calendar.

“I really enjoy the experiences gained in working within the CIS program. The students we teach expand our understandings of our own pedagogy, in working with a cultural background so distinct from our own."

Ron Kitcher
Teacher

“The program offers students an unforgettable opportunity to see a different part of the world, while developing their English language skills, as they experience Canadian culture through classroom activities, excursions, and interactions with their homestay families.”

Jeremy Thorpe
Teacher

"It is very rewarding for me, as an educator, to witness the growth in the students’ language skills over a short intensive period of time. The base of vocabulary they arrive to Canada with serves as a good testament to their English training in their own school system."

Ron Kitcher
Teacher

"I think the activities that are embedded within the program provide the students a solid means of showing much of the Canadian lifestyle, in terms of day-to-day recreation, but also other features that require the use of larger spaces, that are not as prevalent in their home country. These, in combination with the homestay experiences and dietary differences from home, provide the students with a truly well rounded experience."
