The GEOS Homestay Program is intended to give visiting foreign students a first-hand experience of Canadian culture by sharing in everyday host family life. As well as being able to use practical English language skills they have learned in school, it is expected that students will be able participate in family activities for a holistic view of life in Ottawa.

A GEOS staff member visits each of our host families with students’ interests in mind. All families have also had a police background check. Our aim is to provide our students with a secure, educational and vibrant environment. Our host families live in safe, comfortable neighborhoods in Ottawa and in neighboring suburbs.

Alternatively, we can also place you in a student residence close to the school, and we can also make arrangements to find you a furnished apartment during your studies.

Our Homestay and Accomodation services are provided only to our students.
