Canada Homestay Network
We are excited to extend an invitation to you to become a homestay host for international students enrolled in our school. Your participation in this program is vital, and it is through the support of families like yours that we can provide an enriching experience for our students.
By opening our doors to students from around the world, we enhance our programs, strengthen our community, and offer life-changing experiences to our Canadian students, shaping their perspectives in a meaningful way.
Our dedicated hosts have discovered that homestay has not only brought them lifelong friendships but also created lasting connections across the globe. They take pleasure in sharing Canadian experiences and customs with their international students, fostering cultural exchange and understanding.
To support our homestay host families, we have partnered with the Canada Homestay Network Society (CHN), a family-led, not-for-profit Canadian organization that has been a leader in homestay since 1995. CHN provides comprehensive orientation, 24/7 emergency support, a host allowance to help offset expenses, and the opportunity to bring the world right to your front door.
If you would like more information about becoming a host for one of our students, please reach out to hostinfo@canadahomestaynetwork.ca, call 1-877-441-4443 ext. 2264/2176, or visit
