Accommodation: Our Host Families
The Homestay program is one of the most popular accommodations that students select before they arrive in Montréal. What is unique about Montréal Number 1 Homestay compared to other Homestay agencies is that each one of our Homestay Families are interviewed in person before they are selected. Their homes must also pass a strict guideline that Montréal Number 1 Homestay has created in order to really be assured and guaranteed that the family and home is very safe, secure, clean, and the Homestay be accessible to public transportation. Our families have traditional Canadian values, and clearly understand what taking care of a student entails. Only after every criterion is met does the Homestay Department at Montréal Number 1 Homestay unanimously approve the Host Families.
Montréal Number 1 Homestay is one of the only agencies that also make the effort to match the interests of the student with those of the families. For that reason, both the students and Host Families complete the necessary forms that help describe them very well. This program has been a great success. In fact, students who return to Montréal usually request that they stay with the same Host Family! Complete the Registration Form Now!
Before arriving, it is important to remember that there is a cultural difference between you and your host family. Most Canadians work outside of the home during the day. Canadian families often support each other in most matters, including keeping the house clean, preparing the meals, and putting things away after they have been used. Every family in the Homestay Program will make sure that you feel at home, and we hope that you will exert the same effort.
