Open your home to an international student!

International Student

Have you considered opening your home to an international student?

HRCE’s International Services welcomes students from all over the world who would like to attend schools in our region. Hosting a student in your home can be an enriching and rewarding experience. We’re looking for warm and caring families like yours to provide them with a home away from home.

Hosting an international student is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that gives your family the opportunity to bring the world home. For students, it's a way to learn about the Canadian way of life.

As a host, your family would be matched with a student who will attend your neighbourhood school and participate in your daily routines.

What you can expect:  

  • Host families receive a tax-free monthly stipend to help cover hosting expenses ($825 current, $875 effective September)
  • Students stay for periods of three to 10 months
  • Ongoing support is provided by an experienced Homestay Coordinator
  • You will learn about and communicate with your student before their arrival
