We’re proud to announce that Premier Stays has been featured in the latest edition of the Canadian Employee Relocation Council’s (CERC) industry publication—recognized as a growing provider of corporate accommodation solutions. This milestone marks more than just recognition; it signals a strategic evolution in our business model. What began as a short-term rental (STR) management company is now transforming into a comprehensive corporate housing provider serving professionals, relocating families, and long-stay tenants across Canada.
Shifting from STR to Corporate Housing
In the early days, Premier Stays specialized in managing fully-furnished, short-term rentals for vacationers and short-term visitors. But over time, we noticed a shift in demand. Corporate clients, insurance companies, and relocation firms began requesting accommodations that offered stability, comfort, and flexibility—often for periods lasting several weeks or months.
This is where corporate housing comes in.
Unlike nightly rentals, corporate stays are about providing a home-like experience tailored for extended periods. Our units are fully equipped with:
High-speed Wi-Fi and dedicated workspaces
In-suite laundry
Stocked kitchens
On-demand maintenance and cleaning
Flexible lease terms (30+ nights)
By offering these solutions, we’ve become an asset for HR departments, relocation coordinators, and insurance providers looking to house clients or employees comfortably and efficiently.
Why CERC Recognition Matters
The Canadian Employee Relocation Council is a trusted voice in employee mobility and relocation. Being featured in their publication puts Premier Stays in front of:
Major corporations involved in national and international employee transfers
Government relocation programs
HR leaders and mobility consultants across the country
Our feature in the CERC publication reflects how we’re positioning ourselves within the relocation and corporate housing industry, aligning with organizations that rely on stable, compliant, and guest-friendly accommodations for long-term needs.
Meeting a Growing National Demand
Canada’s workforce is increasingly mobile—tech professionals, government employees, construction teams, and healthcare workers are relocating more often for extended projects. Many are bypassing hotels and opting for furnished homes that feel more like their own.
Premier Stays is addressing this shift by:
Securing larger homes and executive townhouses for long-term stays
Partnering with relocation specialists and insurance housing providers
Expanding to serve cities like Calgary, Edmonton, Airdrie, and Canmore
Ensuring every unit complies with local rental regulations and offers reliable, high-quality amenities
What This Means for Our Clients
Whether you're a business sending a project team to a new city or a family displaced by insurance events, Premier Stays now offers:
Consistent service standards for 30+ day bookings
Turnkey furnished rentals without the hassle of setup
Direct support for expense documentation, GST invoices, and corporate compliance
We’re no longer just about short-term rentals. We’re now helping tenants feel at home, no matter how long they stay.
Looking Forward
Our journey is just beginning. Being featured by the CERC validates our approach to long-term accommodation and motivates us to keep building on this momentum. As we grow, we remain committed to:
Supporting workforce mobility across Canada
Delivering exceptional service to both individual guests and large corporate clients
Providing flexible, modern housing solutions for long-stay needs
