Each student will have his/her own private room in a home approved by Eurocentres Canada staff. Students will have the option of selecting Full-board (3 meals per day) or Half-board (breakfast & dinner). We maintain the homestay English environment by placing only one student from each language background per home. All of the Eurocentres Canada host families have been carefully selected and counseled on welcoming international students into their families.

Contracts are established for every homestay placement to confirm that each student has a safe experience with his/her Canadian family.
