Make a difference in a student’s life while enriching your own! Hosting an international student is a rewarding experience that allows you to open your home, share your culture, and build meaningful connections. As a host family, you will play an important role in helping a Japanese student adjust to life in Canada, develop their English skills, and experience daily life in a warm and supportive environment. Our homestay program connects students with caring Canadian families, creating a unique opportunity for cultural exchange, friendship, and personal growth. Whether you are a family with children, a couple, or an individual with a welcoming home, you have the chance to make a lasting impact on a student’s journey abroad.
Join our homestay program today and be part of a life-changing opportunity for both you and your student!
