Make the most of your time in Toronto by staying with a Canadian host family. This popular accommodation option allows you to practice English every day in a friendly, supportive environment.
Living with a Canadian host family offers more than just a place to stay—it’s a chance to experience Canadian traditions, daily life, and warm hospitality. You'll quickly improve your language skills while enjoying home-cooked meals and cultural exchange.
All Nacel Access English Toronto host families are of the highest quality. Our Homestay Coordinator carefully interviews and screens all host families to guarantee your safety and comfort. The Nacel Access English Toronto homestay program comes with various choices to suit your personal needs and budget.
At Nacel Access English Toronto we care about our students. If you are unhappy with your Canadian Host Family, we will quickly give you a new homestay for no extra charge. When you apply you can tell us what kind of family you would like.
We have many types of homestay families. Although you cannot specifically choose your family, you can tell us what kind of family you prefer. We will do our best to match you with a host that meets your preferences.
Here are some preferences you can request:
- married couple, no children
- married couple, with children
- single person
- dog or cat in house (most families in Canada have a dog and/or cat. These animals will not go in your bedroom)
- other students
One of the most important parts of homestay is spending time speaking in English with your Canadian Host Family at meal time. Students selecting no meals ("Roomstay") will not have nearly as much interaction with the family. For this reason, we recommend students select 2 or 3 meals per day.
** Please note that we will never place you in a homestay with another student who speaks your language (unless you request it).
Meal Options
- 3 meals a day
- 2 meals a day (breakfast and dinner)
- no meals (Roomstay)
