We’re here to make every student feel at home, wherever they go
Who we Are
At Canadian Home Stays, we believe the best way to understand the world is by experiencing it through family, culture, and meaningful exchange. We connect students from different countries with safe, welcoming host families in Canada and abroad, creating life-changing opportunities to learn, grow, and build lifelong connections.
Our Story
Canadian Home Stays began with a simple goal: to make cultural exchange more accessible and meaningful for young learners. What started as a small idea has grown into a trusted organisation, dedicated to creating authentic, caring experiences that go far beyond travel. We’re passionate about giving students a home away from home, where they can feel supported, included, and inspired to see the world differently.
What we do
We coordinate international exchange experiences for students in elementary and high school. Whether they’re coming to Canada or travelling abroad, we guide families and students through the process from start to finish. Our services include:
- Matching students with carefully vetted host families
- Preparing students and families for the exchange journey
- Offering continued support throughout the stay
- Encouraging cultural immersion through school and community life
