Homestay is inexpensive accommodation (with or without meals) with a Canadian host or host family.  It's ideal for international students and visitors of all ages (including business executives).  Homestay guests can expect to be treated as members of the family.

Here are 5 good reasons to choose the BEST Homestay Service in Vancouver:
 

• They are concerned about the well-being and safety of the students who come to them for homestay accommodation. This is why they maintain high standards in their selection process. Prospective homestay hosts are interviewed and their homes are inspected for suitability before students are placed in their care. The hosts must provide them with evidence that they are of good reputation and moral character. In addition to this, the hosts must speak English as their first language and have clean comfortable homes.

• They do their BEST to match the student with a host or host family that shares the same interests as the student. Common interests can be discussed and enjoyed together. Their hope is that the student will form a positive connection with the selected family and, that friendships with the host family will start to form immediately.

• They maintain ongoing contact with the student and the host family, throughout the term of the "stay". They do their BEST to ensure that the Hosts are providing the care and attention expected of homestay hosts, and that their student clients are happy.

• They realize that cultural differences and language difficulties can create misunderstandings among people. Their multicultural workers are available to meet with students, speak to them in their own language and interpret, to help resolve any issues pertaining to homestay.

• They offer 3 different types of homestay to satisfy individual needs. You may choose a Traditional Homestay, Non-Traditional Homestay or a Teacher-Host / Mentor-Host Specialty Homestay Program. If your needs for accommodation change while you are in one of their homestays, there is no need to shop around. They will help you find another situation for a reduced placement fee.
