Host family
Canadians are famous for being kind and welcoming, so by staying with a local family, you'll find your home away from home. Host families live in comfortable and safe residential areas, generally 40-60 minutes away from the school by public transport. You may book this accommodation with or without meals (in this case, you can still use the family’s kitchen). Experience full immersion by living with Canadians – you may even make new friends for life.
