Building global relationships 🏡 To apply as a host family for an international homestay student, visit our website at harmonyhomestay.com

Since 2008, Harmony Homestay has been working with school districts across the Lower Mainland to connect bright, global students from all around the world with warm and compassionate host families. Through the years, we’ve watched our students and families create long-lasting experiences and build global relationships that extend far beyond their stay in Canada. Based in Surrey, British Columbia,

we offer a variety of services for international students and visitors, including homestay placement, custodianship and mentorship programs, support with school district applications, and travel assistance.

🇧🇷🇨🇦While some students are preparing to head home, others are preparing to come to Canada for the first time!

This September, 60 Brazilian students will arrive in the Vancouver area for a 12-week educational experience.

Right now they're preparing for an adventure that will include new schools, new friendships, and life with a Canadian host family.

MYTH: “We can’t host this summer. We already have a vacation planned.” 🏖️
REALITY: Host families go on vacations all the time! We're here to make sure they have the support to do it.

Families travel during the summer.
That's the best part of the season! We have lots of options to make sure you can go have fun. As long as we have enough notice, we can work with you to build a plan that works for everyone.

Don't let a holiday stand in the way of hosting!

MYTH: “Hosting will completely change our family life”
REALITY: Yes, hosting will change your life, but not in the ways you might think

Hosting typically slots into your daily schedule pretty seamlessly. Not much change is required.
What families don't expect is the warmth, connection, and relationships that hosting brings.

👨‍👧‍👦 Children get a bonus sibling and form a lifelong bond
✈️ Families gain opportunities to travel abroad to visit students and their families
🫶 Hosts remain connected with students and watch proudly as they grow through university and into adulthood

Hosting often fits more naturally into family life than people expect.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your family could host, give us a call.
We're always here to answer any questions you might have (and bust any unhelpful myths holding you back 😉)

More families are hosting international students and discovering how much it adds to their home life. Often in ways they didn’t expect. It’s the small things like:

🥗 Hearing different stories at the dinner table
🏡 Gaining new ways of connecting as a family
🌎 Watching your kids see the world a little differently

That’s why so many families near you are saying yes.
