Staying On

Students cease to be considered participants in the NSISP after June 30 if they are here for the academic year. Although their medical insurance runs out at this time, students may continue it for an extra cost.
Host families have no obligation to house their student once the school term is over. However, if families wish, the student can remain with them throughout summer months or into a new school term. The NSISP is not responsible for students who stay with their host family through the summer.

Extending Your Stay - Visas

All student Visas have an expiry date. If a student wants to extend their Visa, an NSISP representative has the necessary application package from the Canadian Immigration Department. Students may need a full physical examination for the approval of their extension. The examination may cost approximately $200 Cdn. Students should send their application for extension at least six weeks before the expiry date of the Visa.
