Become a host in Vancouver with EF

Throughout the year, EF students travel to Vancouver to experience Canadian culture and at the same time develop their English skills. They are drawn to Vancouver because of its reputation as one of the most beautiful and liveable urban areas in the world.

Our host families in Vancouver have been welcoming these students for decades showing them all the spots the city has to offer.
