Custodianship Services at SAY Education

SAY Education offers four distinct custodianship services tailored to meet the specific needs of students and parents, considering the type of accommodation and the age of the student. We exclusively collaborate with student agencies worldwide and accept custodianship requests based on referrals only.

We work with a select group of custodians, all of whom are over 40 years old, possess a high level of education, and are Canadian citizens with no criminal background. These professionals have been living in the area for over 10 years, are very familiar with the school system, and have extensive experience dealing with high school students.

Our custodians are located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Barrie, Niagara Falls, and Vancouver (BC), covering high schools, colleges, and universities within these regions.

Please ask for an agent referral commission for the selected schools.
