Become a host family


Our hosts are interested in sharing their lifestyle in a positive and mutually rewarding way. Our students want to experience life as part of a Canadian family to learn English and French in a caring environment, to have a home away from home. Our hosts are excited to welcome someone new into their lives. They want to learn about another culture and to see their own culture in a new light-through an international visitor's eyes.


Having an international student in your home takes time, patience, and a willingness to share.  If you are willing to host a student this is your next step:


  • Submit an online host application - (for Vancouver and the lower mainland area)
  • Submit an online host application - (Montreal area)
  • A personal interview in your home
  • Personal references
  • A criminal reference check (required upon registration)
