Student Accommodation In Canada
The types of student accommodation in Canada can be bifurcated into two major categories: on-campus and off-campus accommodation. Both of these types of accommodation can be further divided in several sub-categories. The most common options for on-campus accommodation in Canada include residence halls and dormitories. The most common off-campus accommodation options include homestays, apartments and room rental.
HOME STAY
Home stay, a popular option for off-campus accommodation is an arrangement whereby students live with a Canadian family generally close to campus or a short bus ride away.
Living with a Canadian family enables international students to experience a true Canadian lifestyle, customs and traditions. A Homestay placement can provide higher safety and security with direct supervision for younger students and a more distraction-free environment conducive to academic success. Homestay programs can offer students two options: full-boarding with meals and part-boarding without meals. Students have a private, fully furnished room and share the home with the family. Homestay costs can range from C$500. to C$1000./mth depending on the services included.
Homestay families are well screened and carefully selected for their interest and desire to share their home and family. Through our correspondence with you at the outset, every attempt is made to place you with a family that will meet your needs. This unique opportunity to be a part of a Canadian family, sightsee, and meet other young people within the community and to happily live in an informal environment with a new family and new friends is invaluable.
The option of buying a house in Canada is available to international students or their families. While the monthly costs of buying a house in Canada are often higher than renting, the living space is greater and students are able to share costs with other students, contact us for more information.
