    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
