EMCI Canada Homestay

The best way to learn about the Canadian way of life is to live in a Homestay with a Canadian family. Living in a Canadian home will help you to experience Canada in two distinct ways that living on your own will not.
First of all, living in a Homestay will help you to improve your confidence speaking English more rapidly than living on your own because you will be able to practice speaking everyday in the comfort of your own home.
Secondly, living in a homestay will give you the opportunity to learn about the daily life of a Canadian family. You will be able to share in the daily life of your family by eating dinner with them each night and by going out on family activities. The bonds that develop between students and their families are something that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Homestay offers you the chance to submerse yourself in Canadian culture and to truly get to know more about Canada.

All EMCI families have been carefully screened and selected by EMCI representatives for their interests and friendliness. Their homes must be comfortable, clean and be located in safe neighbourhoods with convenient transportation to downtown. All families must also submit a criminal background check of all the adults in the home. Our screening process also involves a detailed application, an in-home visit and an interview.

All EMCI families have signed a contract with us and we contact them regularly. We also keep in touch with all of our homestay students on a regular basis to make sure that everyone is satisfied with their home. Regular home visits and student surveys help us to guarantee the quality of life you will experience during your entire stay with an EMCI homestay family.

-a bathroom (either shared or private)
