Our partners at MLI Homestay understand that a caring homestay is the cornerstone of ensuring a positive student experience in Canada. Students looking for homestay will have an excellent opportunity to practice and develop their English language skills and have a rich experience of Canadian culture and family life. Students can also choose a French speaking homestay family if they have a strong interest in learning the French language and Quebec culture. MLI homestay carefully screens its families in advance of student placement. Students will meet with a coordinator to express their needs and interests during their stay in Canada in which our Homestay will suggest families who can meet their needs. This rigorous screening process is done to ensure the safety of all our students and to provide them with a comfortable living environment while away from their home country. Homestay families may include homes with a single parent, couples, single parent with a child, families with children, and retired couples.
