Host Incentive Program

Help Us Welcome More International Students…

As demand for homestay placements continues to grow, we are seeking the support of our current host families to help us identify new hosts and create additional space for incoming international high school students.

To that end, we are offering a $250 Host Incentive Bonus through one of the following opportunities.

Option 1: Refer a New Host Family

Do you know a family, friend, neighbour, coworker, or relative who would make an excellent host family?

You may qualify for a $250 Referral Bonus when:

• Your referred family successfully completes our screening and approval process;
• The family is assigned an incoming international student; and
• The family successfully hosts the student for one academic term

Every year, many of our best host families join our program through referrals from existing hosts.

Option 2: Open an Additional Bedroom

Do you currently have an unused bedroom that could be made available to an incoming student?

You may qualify for a $250 Expansion Bonus when:

• An additional bedroom is approved for student placement
• The room is assigned to an incoming international student
• The student remains in the placement for one academic term

Providing an additional bedroom helps us accommodate more students while giving them access to the same caring and supportive homestay experience that our current hosts provide.

Thank You!

The success of our homestay program is made possible by dedicated host families like you. Your willingness to open your home and support international students creates life-changing experiences for young people from around the world.
