Homestay Information

ILSC-Montreal, speak and learn french at homestay residence, family accommodation

Staying in a Homestay will give you an excellent opportunity to practice your French conversation skills and experience French-Canadian culture and family life. Our Montréal Homestay Department is dedicated to placing you with good families in Montréal living between 40-60 minutes from the school; these homes are safe, secure, inspected and approved by our Homestay Program Coordinators.

You will be provided with your own house key and a clean, comfortable, private room and you will receive three healthy, adequate meals a day. The room will be equipped with a desk, a bed with sheets and blankets, dresser, closet, good lighting and towels. Our Montréal Homestay Department is available to assist you whenever you have questions or want to talk.

ILSC-Montréal also offers Roomstay, which is the same as homestay except meals are not included. For those students who do not want to stay with a Canadian family, we have an Alternative Accommodations program. Please Note: Roomstay and Alternative Accommodations are only available to students 18 years of age or older.

Custodianship Declaration: When registering for homestay in Canada, some students who are under legal age (legal age is 18 years of age in Quebec) may require a Custodianship Declaration (view sample). Please check with the Canadian Embassy in your country to see if a Custodianship Declaration will be required for you. Also note that Custodianship Declaration letters are not transferable from one homestay family to another homestay family.
