Hosting VEC Students
Welcome to the VEC Homestay Program!
If you are interested in sharing your home with a student, we would like to talk to you.
You will find the hosting experience fun and rewarding. Hosting a student from abroad is a great way to make new friends and learn about people from faraway places. As hosts, you will welcome a student into your home as a member of the family. Your student will learn about Canadian culture by joining your daily activities.
Although we request a private, furnished bedroom, students
expect to share the bathroom, laundry room, kitchen and family room. Our hosts provide breakfast, a healthy bagged lunch and a full supper. We offer $21 to $27 per night to our hosts, to defray any expenses you might incur. Cheques are issued every 28 days. The first cheque usually arrives within 10 working days of the student’s first day of school.

If you would like to host a student, you can apply online as a VEC Homestay Host.
Please note that we are often backlogged with host applications. We might not be able to process your application or place a student for some time.
A one-time administration fee of $50 will be automatically deducted from your first Host payment cheque. This fee covers processing your initial application and a house visit by VEC staff.
