What type of lodging works for you?

If you want to be close to the action, stay on campus to socialize with the student community (student residence).
If you want to immerse yourself more deeply into the language and culture, live with a local family (homestay).
If you are attending a virtual session, experience a new culture, make new friends from across Canada, and learn your second language—all from the comfort of your sofa!

When exploring different institutions, try the accommodation filter to display examples of the various types of lodging. Choose the one that’s right for you.

Whatever accommodation you choose, your safety* is a priority of the Explore program.
