Many Canadian families welcome international students.
This is an effective way for students to learn English and about daily life in Canada. Generally, a homestay consists of a Canadian family hosting a student in their home while students attend classes in Canada. Meals and a room are provided in the home, and the host family encourages your participation in the family activities. Homestays are arranged by the school and students are matched with families which share similar interests. Amenities and location varies from home to home, but preferences should be indicated to the school so that a suitable match may be found.
