Ensuring a safer, supported, and more confident journey abroad.

A premium, dedicated support system for international families, combining institutional expertise with culturally informed care.

Your child is starting university in Canada. You are thousands of miles away.

When challenges arise, a dedicated local advisor is already responding.

International students encounter complex situations: housing issues, travel complications, unfamiliar administrative processes, and the emotional challenges of adapting to a new country. Parents need reliable information about their child's wellbeing.

For Parents

Distance remains constant. Peace of mind is possible.

Families choose Crestway Global because they want to know their child is supported, not just in emergencies, but every day.

  • You call your daughter. She sounds tired. You can't tell if it's finals stress or something worse.
  • Your son says his roommate moved out. You don't know if he can afford rent alone.
  • The school sends a notice about a policy or requirement. You find out a month late.

For Students

You're still running your own life. But you're not figuring everything out from scratch.

Crestway Global is for students who want to actually enjoy this chapter, not just get through it.

01

A local number to call when you're lost on transit or your debit card got declined.

02

Someone who's seen a hundred students bomb their first midterm and knows what actually helps.

03

Introductions to other international students who get what you're going through.

04

Help with the unsexy stuff: bank accounts, doctors, and rental agreements.

Student Ambassadors

Real students who've been where you're going.

Our ambassadors are current international students at Canadian universities. They represent Crestway Global on campus, host study groups, and help new students navigate everything from transit to homesickness.

Safety

Safety & Wellbeing

Safety is the foundation. Not the differentiator.

Every guardianship service promises safety. Here's what ours actually includes.

  • We visit housing before you sign anything. We check smoke detectors, run background on landlords, confirm the neighborhood matches the listing photos.
  • 24/7 emergency line answered by someone who knows your student by name, not a call center.
  • Arrival pickup from the airport, first-week orientation to the city, and a clear map of what to do when something goes wrong.
Outcomes

Outcomes & Integration

Make the return on a Canadian degree show up sooner.

International families invest in opportunity. We help students convert that investment into relationships, clarity, and forward motion.

  • Introductions to alumni and professional networks that open doors early.
  • Guidance on government offices, school systems, and unfamiliar paperwork.
  • A local person to explain expectations, options, and cultural norms.

Admissions

We accept fewer students than we turn away.

Personalized support requires a low ratio of students to staff. If we accepted everyone, we'd become what we're not: a checkbox guardianship service that loses track of individuals.

What we're looking for

  • Students who want to grow, not just survive.
  • Consistent effort (your transcript doesn't need to be perfect).
  • Willingness to engage with a new community.
  • Parents who want to stay involved without hovering.

What we're not looking for

  • Students who need 24/7 supervision (we're support, not surveillance).
  • Families expecting us to replace parenting entirely.

FAQ

The questions parents actually ask.

What happens if my child has an emergency at 2am?

Students contact our emergency line, answered by an assigned advisor familiar with their situation. We coordinate hospital visits, housing access issues, travel complications, and other urgent matters. Families receive notification once the situation is addressed.

How is this different from the guardianship my kid's school requires?

Most school-required guardianship services are paperwork. We're involved week to week: sharing context, guiding decisions, and helping families navigate local systems.

My kid wants independence. Won't this feel like babysitting?

Our students aren't being watched. They're being supported. When they need help, they don't have to figure it out alone.
