For Host Families

Become a host family

Your home can be the starting point for an international student's life in Canada — supported, transparent, and structured.

Why become a host family

Meaningful cultural exchange

Welcome an international student into your home.

Structured placement

We confirm your home, availability, and preferences.

Ongoing student support

We coordinate so you're not handling everything alone.

Respect for your routine

Matches are proposed based on your availability.

Basic expectations

  • Provide a clean, safe private bedroom
  • Offer basic meals (specifics vary by host)
  • Maintain everyday family communication and support
  • Follow local Canadian laws and community standards
  • Notify our team when issues arise

Specifics are discussed with each host. We do not place students where the fit isn't right.
