Homestays

Living with a local family is the ideal way to integrate into Canadian culture. Visitors become a true member of the family and the community and participate in all the activities of daily life and practice their English.

Each family has a strong interest to welcome an international visitor into their home and is eager to provide a friendly, supportive and nurturing environment. Families believe that hosting a student is a rewarding and unique experience that will not only enrich the life of the young student, but that of their family’s as well.

All homestay families have been carefully screened and selected for their enthusiasm and ability to provide excellent hospitality. They go through an interview process and fill out a family profile. Our coordinators make customized selections with much care and attention to the student’s and families needs, requests, hobbies and personalities.

Host families come from a variety of cultural backgrounds and circumstances. We enlist a wide range of suitable families as hosts including, retired couples, single parent families and childless families. They will provide 3 meals daily, a private room and study area for the student. Families are available to host one or two guests.

Here is what families have to say:

	"We had an amazing experience hosting" Johnson Family, Huntsville, Ontario
	"Our country has a lot to learn from them" Bolton Family, Peterborough, Ontario
	"She was an excellent ambassador for her country" Harris Family, Salmon Arm, B.C.
	"It is hard to describe what an impact he has made in our lives. I am not sure people realize what they are missing out on by not taking advantage of an opportunity like this" Phillips Family, Collingwood, ON
