Homestay

Homestay is simple and inexpensive. You have a private bedroom, 3 meals a day and use of house facilities (laundry, telephone, TV, etc.)

Our recommendation is always the homestay with a Canadian family. You will stay in a family home, practice English with them, but more important, you will develop friendship and learn about Canadian culture.

Your host family will include you in their daily routine, invite you to participate in family activities, and help you with any question you have about living in Vancouver.

.
Homestay Registration

To give you the best possible accommodation according to your preferences, you need to register at least 2 months before your arrival in Vancouver. Your Homestay Fees should reach us at least 6 weeks before your arrival.
