Custodianship Services

If you are a student under 18 and are NOT staying with a family friend or relative who is also your Custodian, you MUST register in the Homestay and Custodianship Program managed by Canada Homestay International.

Please complete, with your parents, the Parental Consent to Custodianship and the Homestay Consent and Release, and submit them to us along with the homestay application.

Following receipt of these documents, we will create an invoice and, following payment, will send you the declaration of custodianship required by CIC and a confirmation letter with information on your host family.
