Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in Montreal. These homes are often between 25 - 45 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. You must check out 1 day after your classes end (usually a Saturday).

The student needs to register in our school. In order to get registered, we need an initial payment. The payment has to be done by credit card (Visa or Master Card). Then, I will provide the student with a specific letter for CADIVI (this letter contains more details than the regular one), one in Spanish and one in English.
Regarding the letter, we can send a letter of acceptance (is it what you call a CADIVI letter?), but the student needs to pay a certain amount. This amount will not appear on the letter of acceptance so the student will be able to get the full payment by CADIVI. When we receive the payment from CADIVI, we will refund the money to the student.
