English for Work (20 GE + 10 English for Work)

Staying with a Canadian family gives you the chance to practice your English with a real local family and experience the culture. Many students choose homestay accommodation because they enjoy the atmosphere and the feeling of support a family gives.

Homestays reflect Canada's multicultural diversity as long as English is the language of the home.

Features:
• Homestay placements to suit your needs
• You will be the only speaker of your native language in the house
• Single room with clean sheets and towels
• Breakfast and evening meals
• With 60 minutes to school by public transport
