About Us

Canadian by birth, Brazilian at heart

Since 2020, helping real people study abroad, with offices in Brazil and Canada.

Our Story

A company born from inside the exchange experience itself

The story starts with Renato Dias as a student: he went to Canada without speaking English, learned the language from scratch at a language school, and only afterward earned a postgraduate degree in Human Resources at a public Canadian college. Before founding NEW, he spent 4 more years working at an English school in Toronto, watching up close the day-to-day of people who came from all over the world to study in Canada. It was living that journey on both sides, first as a student starting from zero and later as someone working with students, that showed him where things could be done differently, and better.

In January 2020, NEW Intercambio was born, initially registered under a generic numbered Canadian corporation name. On May 12, 2021 came the change to its real name, NEW Intercambio Educational Services INC., with the goal of offering more complete, more personalized support to those who dream of studying abroad.

Today we've already helped over 1,200 students study abroad, headquartered in Toronto with our own offices in Aracaju and Araraquara, Brazil. We serve people in person in Yorkville, Toronto, and also 100% online, for anyone anywhere in Brazil or the world.
