Homestay families

can provide excellent

opportunities for

international students to immerse themselves in

Canadian culture and lifestyles, and the English or

French language.

International students can expect …

• a private room in a welcoming home environment

• three daily meals

• a positive atmosphere in which to study and live

• a family that has passed a criminal record and child abuse

registry check

• a family and home selected by the Homestay Coordinator

• numerous opportunities to learn about Canadian culture

and use their English or French language skills

Homestay families are just that—family. They are encouraged to

treat international students as members of their own family.

International students will participate in family activities and are

expected to contribute the operation of the family household.

The Louis Riel School Division is committed to ensuring that

international students studying in the Division have access to

homestay accommodation of the very highest standard.
