YFU expanded to Canada in 1985, starting in Montreal, Quebec. We expanded to cover more of Canada by opening an office in 1995 in Cambridge, under the direction of Diane Hahn with help from YFU USA. Since then we have welcomed interns from France, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and Venezuela, and sent 400 students to over 30 countries.
In 2015, the office moved to Hespeler Road. Canada hosted the Orientation Academy in 2009 and in 2020, we will celebrate our 35th-year anniversary.
