Consider Becoming Part of the Canada Homestay Network

Posted by Faculty of Open Learning & Career Development on August 23, 2022 in General Announcements

If you’ve ever considered hosting an international student in your home, now is the time to apply!  

International high school and university students (strictly following government travel requirements and health & safety protocols) are excited to study at Dalhousie University and experience leading-edge education programs and dynamic outdoor life.

Homestay host families are needed URGENTLY for academic-year placements. Hosts receive a generous allowance to offset expenses, 24/7 support, and special health and safety training.

When you host international students, your family benefits from lifelong friendships as well as the opportunity to develop stronger interpersonal skills and global awareness. Children in families who host international students learn to meet inter-cultural challenges with open minds, and to advocate for people who may be vulnerable.

If you have questions about the hosting experience, please contact the Canada Homestay Network at hostinfo@canadahomestaynetwork.ca or 1-877-441-4443 ext. 2176.
