Classic Canadian Homestay has been placing students with Vancouver host families since 2001. We work with well established and trusted international network of schools and partners to bring short term student groups to Vancouver for tourism and English learning experiences.
Vancouver has always been one of the most desirable locations for these students and travel groups and the demand for Vancouver homestay families grows every year. We are always looking for caring and interactive host families for short-term student groups year round. If your family home is located in Vancouver and is thinking of hosting short-term international students then we can help answer any questions you may have.
Most of the students that come to Vancouver are high-school age and here for periods lasting a few days or a few weeks. Our students originate primarily from Japan. They range in age from 12-21, depending on the group or school that they travel with. Many students end up making life-long relationships with their host families. International student placements are also a great way to expose your own children to other cultures.
