About the program

The Exchanges Canada Program, launched in 2000, is a funding program at Canadian Heritage that supports non-profit organizations so they can offer exchanges, forums, and summer jobs to youth between the ages of 12 to 25. Through this initiative, young people from across Canada have a unique opportunity to explore and discover our beautiful country and to connect with young people from different regions. All this, with the goal of valuing diversity, fostering cultural understanding, improving their knowledge of official languages and allowing them to create friendships and lifelong memories.
