This option is highly recommended for students who want to optimize their learning through total immersion and experience the Canadian way of life. All host families are carefully selected by our Homestay Coordinator and inspected according to strict criteria. The Homestay Coordinator will match you with a family based on information provided on your application form. You will receive information about your host family a few weeks prior to arrival. Because our families are used to hosting international students, they provide a welcoming environment where you can choose the level of independence that is comfortable for you. Many students keep in touch with their host families even after they have returned to their own countries!
