Welcome to the Homestay resource directory for hosts of Global Village students.
Global Village homestay hosts contribute to students’ educational experiences and goals by providing safe, comfortable, and friendly accommodation during their study period at our language school. Beyond accepting an international student into your home, joining the GV homestay program will allow you to share a glimpse of the great Canadian way of life in a mutually rewarding fashion, while also having a chance to learn about your students’ traditions and culture.
Becoming a GV Homestay host not only benefits the student and their families, but also the local economy by providing a stream for tourism or permanent residence, our campus, and of course – yourself. Many of our hosts and international guests become life-long friends with lasting relationships that cross borders. We hope to build the same relationship with you!
Whether you are a new or seasoned host – we at Global Village thank you for your support by welcoming students into your home and being a wonderful ambassador of our great country of Canada.
