Homestay program is designed to have international students coming
a long way to live with a family for a while. Each does not know the
other person. This is not a comfortable situation, not knowing what
to expect in the other part of the world.
The homestay program agencies come into this perspective in making
sure that the students will have a comfortable and safe accommodations
in Toronto.
Friends International Services understands that homestay program is
the most important part of a students stay. We recognize that students
need reassurance and friends when coming to a new country. As a homestay
program agency, we work for the happiness of each and every student.
To ensure a comfortable and safe stay in Toronto, Friends International
Services:
|
 Thorough
interview with the host family to find out the personality of the
host family as well as
giving homestay guide to the family.
|
Personal
visit to the venue of host family, to ensure that the accommodations
are comfortable
and safe.
|
Legally
binding the family in a homestay program contract to reserve the right
