A unique, all-inclusive student housing opportunity coast-to-coast

Stay with a local family minutes from your high school, college or university

A unique, affordable student housing solution

When students feel like family, they feel more like students. For 25 years, the Canada Homestay Network (CHN) has connected tens of thousands of international students with Canadian families.

If you’re looking for flexible, affordable accommodation that is safe, secure and close to your college or university, we have a home for you! You can be as independent as you like, or choose the care, support, and comfort of becoming part of your host’s family.

I think it’s important to tell people how wonderful the experience is. I got to know new people that I will never forget.

With homestay, students have choices – be as independent as you like, or become a member of the family you live with.

All-Inclusive

CHN fees are less expensive than most on-campus options and include a private, furnished room, meal plans, and amenities like laundry and WiFi.

Flexible

Stay durations can be by the week, semester, or full academic year. CHN strives to ensure homestays are no more than 30 to 45 minutes public-transit travel time from colleges and universities. Special COVID-19 refund policy for peace-of-mind.

Safe

CHN hosts are carefully screened through our comprehensive due diligence process, which involves interviews, reference checks and criminal record checks.
