Payment

In Canada, our dedicated hosts receive weekly monetary compensation, aimed at assisting with the expenses associated with hosting international students. Beyond the financial aspect, hosting allows a vibrant cultural exchange. By opening your home to students from around the world, you can have an enjoyable experience embracing diverse cultures and perspectives. Welcoming students into your home enriches your life with meaningful connections and a broader understanding of the world.

I would really encourage other families to host. It’s so rewarding and it’s honestly the best thing I could have done with the little spare time I have.
