Canadian Accommodations for Foreign Students

Homestays (University Provided Accommodation) (University Provided Accommodation)

Many Canadian families are happy to host foreign students. For younger visitors coming to Canada to further their studies, homestays provide a more stable and secure atmosphere.

A homestay is typically where a Canadian family hosts an international student while they are studying there. The host family offers meals and a private, furnished room, and they welcome and promote participation in family and neighbourhood events.

The school coordinates homestays, matching students with families with whom they have like interests.

Habitation / dorm (University Provided Accommodation)

Residence / Dormitory (University Provided Accommodation)

Many universities have accommodation conveniently located on or near their campus. Rooms can vary in size and in quality, and many dormitories have shared kitchens, toilets, showers and laundry facilities.

There is usually an option of having either a shared or private room, and dormitories are usually separated by gender. In some cases, there are cafeterias and meal plans that can be included in the cost of the room. Most dormitories come furnished, and are an ideal way to become involved in campus activities and meet other students.

Habitation / dorm (University Provided Accommodation)

International students who study in Canada have the option of renting. To reduce costs, many students share housing, and they typically select spaces that suit their needs and tastes.

Many colleges provide an off-campus housing service, which might offer reasonably priced properties close to the campus. Those looking for shared housing can also find housemates at this service centre. Students will frequently see several signs advertising local lodging once they get on campus, but it is always advisable to secure plans before travelling to Canada.

International students can rent a variety of properties in Canada. Most students share or rent suites (a self-contained unit), as renting a house is typically too expensive for one student to afford.

Non-prescription medicines, prescription eyeglasses, and dental fees are not covered but can be paid for by purchasing private insurance coverage. The requirements for international students to get healthcare will differ from province to province because each runs its own healthcare system.

Overall, overseas students enjoy affordable access to high-quality medical care. It is required to purchase health insurance before travelling to Canada. Students can sign up for a university or college health plan or obtain health insurance from a private health insurance provider. The standards for health insurance coverage differ from province to province, and some provinces offer
