TESTIMONIALS

What Past Students Say About MLI Homestay

I think staying in Canada was tough but also worth the experience! Every day I had to face new challenges like language, relationships, study, and more. It was tough, but these experiences made me grow. And Shirley (My host family) was humongous support for me to live through this lovely and challenging stay!

Shion

from, Japan

I enjoyed my life in Canada. I hung out with my friends and made many memories. The most favourite thing I did in Canada is Canada Wonderland. I went there with my host family and we had a great time riding the roller coasters.

Rikuta

from, Japan

The time in Canada had a lot of fun and meaningful moment such as communication with many people who I haven’t met before and experience of different culture and lifestyle. Even though I went to Canada under the covid situation, I could achieve many activities like volunteering and enjoy the time in Canada with my host family!
