Once you have talked about it with your host parents and made sure they will be able to take you to and pick you up from the airport, get permission from your school and ASSE Area Representative and send in your Enrollment Form.

Although many students do not require a visa to visit the USA while on exchange in Canada, and vice versa, others do. It depends upon your citizenship, and such rules may change. It is a good idea to check the rules in advance. If you will need a visa—for the U.S. or Canada—in order to join the trip(s) you are interested in, it is best to get it before you leave your home country.
