An enjoyable and exciting stay begins with the chemistry between student and family.  Our stringent interview process guarantees a caring, compassionate family that will treat you as one of their own. L'Estrie takes pride in its high standards in selecting host families.  In order for you to fully benefit from the experience, the match between you and your Canadian family must be made with care. L'Estrie is unique in that we always take time to match the student profile to that of the family.

L'Estrie is sensitive to your interests in matters such as culture, industry, sports, and entertainment.  While you are with your host family, you will be able to have conversations with them that are both fun and informative.  Of course, during these conversations, your family will speak English only.

In addition,l'Estrie pays careful attention to your needs, such as dietary restrictions, allergies, preferences, and promises that the Canadian family will provide you with breakfast and an evening meal every day.  Before coming to Canada, we encourage you to contact your host family.
