a host with us!

A Host welcomes an international student into their home while the student is attending school in Canada. 

A host family becomes the international student’s second family and provides them with a unique glimpse into a Canadian way of life. For many students, a trip to study and live in Canada, is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and hosts play a crucial role in making the students dream come true.

Who makes
a good host?

A great host is hospitable, welcoming, kind and supportive. They are willing to open their homes to a student experiencing a whole new way of life and also learning a new language.

Hosts can be individuals, single parent families, two parent families, couples with no children, people with pets, young people, older adults. They have a range of occupations or are retired, and have a variety of cultural and ethnic origins, abilities, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

The residence may be a condo, an apartment, a town home or a detached home, located anywhere across the city.
