Accommodations

OPTION A: Vancouver Homestays

Are you looking for a home away from home? Be welcomed into a Homestay family, and experience a supportive living environment. It's an excellent opportunity to experience Canadian culture and family life.

Located between 40 to 60 minutes travelling distance from the school, they provide you with a clean, comfortable, private room, equipped with a desk, bed, dresser, closet and good lighting. Homestays are culturally diverse and reflect Vancouver's multicultural population; they are safe, secure, inspected and approved by our Student Accommodation Department. They can provide healthy meals for students choosing Full-board or Half-board homestay options, or a kitchen for preparing your own meals for Room stay students.
