Become a host in Victoria with EF

Our school in Victoria welcomes students from around the world who are attracted to the beauty of the "City of Gardens" and ready to experience one of the 10 Friendliest Cities in the World while improving their English skills. The EF Host Family Program will be a vital part of EF students’ experiences during their stay in Canada.
