For Homestay Providers<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Homestay<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hosting a student can be a rewarding experience for your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are seeking warm and caring Canadian families who can accommodate international (Japanese) students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosting not only provides students with a chance to experience daily Canadian life, but also gives families an opportunity to learn about different cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students\u3000<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Our students are generally from Japan, aged between 20 and 40 years old, but may sometimes include teens and seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Japanese students are known to be very polite and quiet. They may need some encouragment to communicate effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Area<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most ESL schools are in the downtown Vancouver core, and students generally want to avoid a long commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commuting time to downtown Vancouver should be within one hour<\/strong> from your home, via public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, we sometimes run group programs in cities surrounding Vancouver, such as Surrey. Please contact our Homestay Coordinator to find out more about relevant areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
