About this home

This home welcomes

Capacity: 1 person

10-18 years old (girl - boy)

18-25 years old (girl - boy)

Selection criteria:

Compatibility: It's important to know the student beforehand, including their interests, expectations for the trip, and their willingness to spend time with our family. We are looking for someone who will engage and enjoy their stay with us. We are fully committed to making this a great experience.

Purpose of the Trip: The student should come preferably with a study plan, whether a part-time or full-time course. The key is to have a clear purpose for being here. We are not looking for someone to be solely on vacation, as we want someone who will integrate into our family routine. If the student is here to study English or French, we can speak the chosen language to help them practice. In Montreal, it's common to switch between languages in daily life. While we can't promise a single-language environment all the time, this multicultural aspect is part of the city's charm.

Dietary Restrictions: We cannot accommodate dietary restrictions (kosher, halal, vegan, intolerances, or allergies) as we are busy parents who prepare all meals. Ideally, we would provide breakfast and dinner only, and the student can have lunch at the university cafeteria, which offers many options. Alternatively, they can prepare a sandwich or buy a salad to store in the fridge. We do not offer cooking facilities due to the small and frequently used kitchen. Our meals are varied and healthy, and our past students have been very satisfied.

Insurance: The student must have travel and health insurance for any emergencies. Healthcare here is expensive for those not covered by the system.

Available activities

Badminton
Basketball
Ice skating
Bike rides
Video games
City outings
Cultural visits

We can help the student find an internship, a small job or volunteering opportunities. For volunteer opportunities:
The Volunteer Bureau of Montreal has many options:
in English and in French https://www.cabm.net/benevoles/offre-benevolat
in Spanish you can volunteer at Casa C.A.F.I Centro de ayuda para las familias inmigrantes
https://centrecasacafi.org/voluntarios/

Full Immersion Guaranteed

Life with your host family

We live in a beautiful townhouse with a basement, two floors, and four bathrooms. We have a deck and a garden, lots of natural light. The basement has one private room with a double bed and a desk. There is a full bathroom (shower) / laundry room.

The room we offer in the basement is ideal for one person. We host international students coming to Montreal to study English and/or French, so we intend to offer this room to students who plan to study in Montreal for a short period. From a couple of...

Dear Oscar, Ana, Xavi and Maya I hope you are doing well. Thank you very much for your kindness and help during my 4 weeks stay.

Hi, Thank you for accepting my homestay for three weeks. I am very grateful. Before coming here, I was excited about the change in environment, life and language, but I was also very anxious. I was also anxious because I couldn't speak English well. In that situation, Oscar's family spoke to me sl...
