Information About Canada for
Foreign
Army Cadets
The Royal Canadian Army Cadets participate in international exchanges
throughout the world. They foster provincial and international relations
between participating countries and the larger fellowship of cadet/youth.
Each exchange is aimed at familiarising Cadets with the host country's
military systems, cultural visits, develop initiative, self-reliance and
leadership. The exchanges to Canada aim at providing a similar experience
to visiting cadets.
Exchanges visiting Canada vary in duration. Some last approximately 2
weeks, others are 6 weeks.
Activities/Training
Cadets visiting Canada will either participate in :
- a mostly cultural tour (2 weeks exchanges), or
- a course (6 weeks) at one of our cadets camps.
 The cultural tours usually
visit museums, parliamentary establishments and some entertainment venues.
The exchange cadets participating in summer courses attend the Cadet
Leader Instructor Adventure course and the Leadership and Challenge
course.
Places Visited
Cadets attending courses in the West of Canada will visit Vancouver
and/or Calgary in addition to the areas near the camps.
Cadets attending courses in Ontario will visit Toronto, Niagara Falls,
Ottawa and Quebec City.
Cadets attending courses in Argonaut will visit Halifax (Nova
Scotia) and several cities in New Brunswick.
