To Become A Host Family

Hosting an international student is an enriching experience and a chance to make friends for life. `
A CPCI homestay family will welcome the student into their home and include them in their daily life.  Providing support and encouragement, the host will assist the student adjust to a new way of life in Canada.
Our students are generally Japanese youth who come to Victoria to learn about the language and culture. The students are excited to come to Canada and look forward to spending time with their Canadian family.
At Canada Pacific College International we strive to make the best possible match, by taking the student’s requests and the family profile into consideration.
