U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Canada

Every year, more than 40,000 participants from various countries worldwide engage in U.S. Department of State exchange programs. These exchange programs foster the creation of shared connections, the exchange of ideas, and the promotion of mutual understanding. Participating in a U.S. Department of State exchange program is not just a singular event; rather, it initiates a lasting relationship between the participants, the individuals they encounter during their exchange journey, and the United States. Participants become members of the global International Exchange Alumni community.
