Custodianship Services

If you are a student under 18 and are NOT staying with a family friend or relative who is also your Custodian, you MUST register in North Island College Homestay and Custodianship Program managed by Canada Homestay Network.

The first step is to obtain the Parental Appointment of Custodian form from CHN. Please email our local office and request a copy, citing your Student ID and Reservation ID numbers from your application if possible. This form must be signed and notarized in your home country. Once your application and payments are received, you will be sent the notarized Declaration of Custodianship required by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) along with a confirmation letter containing information regarding your host family.

If you have any questions about the application process, please contact us.
