Homestay is life-changing!

“Being part of my homestay family made me feel very safe and comfortable so I could focus on my studies.”

Jake | Student

“I love proud-homestay-mom moments. I’m like, ‘That’s my student! They live with my family, we supported them and they did well.’ That’s when you know you’re doing things right.”

Anna | Host

“I’ve seen and experienced things in my community that I never would have if I lived on my own.”

Jenna | Student

“I’m their host mom. I say, ‘if you’re unsure, ask questions. If you’re angry, shout. If you’re sad, you can cry. If you’re happy, tell me about it.’ I make sure they know they talk to me about anything.”

Susanne | Host

Many things we take for granted are new and interesting to newcomers. It’s like rediscovering the world around you as they see it for the first time.

“It was such an incredible experience. I learned so much about Canadians and their way of life, and they learned from me, too.”
