Becoming a host family. What is required and how to get the ball rolling!

A family is two or more individuals with a spare room in their home

As part of screening you must provide 2 non related references, adults must get a criminal record check, we will set up an in person home visit to answer your questions and ensure the room meets provincial fire code.

The student is not a guest rather they become a member of your family and do as you do in your daily life.

Families must provide 3 meals per day. Fixing for them to make their breakfast and a bag lunch and then dinner with the family.

Clear Engish must be spoken in front of the student as they are here to immerse in the English language in addition to your own unique Canadian culture.

While families are considered volunteers we do pay a monthly host stipend of $1200.00 to help offset the cost of hosting.

We provide local coordinators for student an family support.
