Shecana International Schools Ltd. offers international student exchange and gap-year travel programs. We have 17 years of experience with student exchanges and student travel. Based in Prince George, BC, we partner with trusted international student exchange and travel organizations to fulfill our mission to provide safe, positive educational travel choices for Canadians age 14 to 25.

Each year many young Canadians go abroad with Shecana to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Asia. Approximately 100 of our students from countries throughout the world come each year to live with host families in western Canada.

• For high school exchanges, we assist students and their families through the application process, ensure placement with a suitable host family, ensure that all necessary documentation and insurance are in place, and make travel arrangements. After departure, we facilitate communication between the student’s family in Canada and the host country, monitor the placement and assist as needed.

• For high school graduates, we offer gap-year programs including study abroad, working holidays and cultural exchanges. Many programs feature pre-arranged accommodation and an on-site representative to meet and assist the traveller at his or her destination. Working holidays include a confirmed job before leaving Canada. We provide assistance and advice regarding visas and other documentation, and assist with travel arrangements.
