Message from Homestay Coordinator
Enjoy the Canadian lifestyle living with a Canadian homestay family in Vancouver. Homestay accommodation is fun, safe, and a affordable way to stay in Vancouver Canada. The Canadian College Homestay Coordinator will place you with a host family which meets your requests. Students can either stay in a single room with 3 meals per day, and a shared bath, or a double shared room, 2 meals per day, 3 on weekends, and a shared bath, or a single room and 3 meals per day, and a private bath. If there is another student in the same Homestay they will speak a different language. All families are screened and monitored.

Patty Rieben our homestay coordinator will match you with a homestay that suits your personal needs. Some students have special requests concerning religion, diet, allergies, etc. can be accommodated. Most of the homestays we arrange are for CCEL students, but we would be happy to arrange homestay accommodation for anyone visiting Vancouver. Living with a homestay family is a great way to practice your english and be immersed in Canadian culture.
Homestay Location
Homestays are usually located in West Vancouver and North Vancouver. You will enjoy a homestay in a quiet, safe area, close to transit and all amenities. Transit in and around Vancouver is very good. You will find it easy to travel from your homestay to the Canadian College.
Homestay with a Teacher
One of the family members of the Homestay will be a teacher and tutors the student 2 hours per day Monday to Friday.
Airport Pickup
A college staff person can meet the student at the Vancouver airport and drive them to the Canadian College where they are introduced to their Homestay family.

Note: Requests to change Homestay family will require an additional placement fee.
