Canadian Gap Year Association

Canadian Gap Year Association CanGap is Canada's leading expert on gap years. We have helped these young adults with their successful transitions to next steps.

With over a decade with of experience making meaningful gap years possible, we proudly launched the Canadian Gap Year Association for folks like you. mygapyear established itself as the leader in Canadian gap year services and has been featured in numerous publications including the Globe and Mail and McLean’s, and has provided training and information to thousands of Canadian educators, parents and gappers. We have supported hundreds of gappers and their families on their journeys – from the decision to take a gap year, to the planning process, the execution and capturing all of the learning and growth that occurs on a gap year. As gap years gain traction in Canada and the population of gappers grows in size and in breadth, mygapyear realized that we needed to also evolve to support this growing need. Almost a decade later, in 2017, mygapyear made the leap in founding a non-profit, the Canadian Gap Year Association – an organization dedicated to Canada-specific gap year research, education and advocacy and creating and curating gap year resources for Canadian Gappers. Building on our industry and gapper experience knowledge, the practice of working with thousands of educators, families, gappers and travel/program providers, and the longevity of watching the gap year industry evolve, the Canadian Gap Year Association is well positioned to be the hub for all information and resources related to gap years.
