Schools Groups Introduction
A Warm Welcome For Everyone
At CHI we feel that even short-term visitors to Canada can benefit enormously when they experience life as part of a Canadian family, by being exposed to Canadian culture and spoken English in a caring and encouraging family environment.

Our hosts feel the same way! We look for host families who want to learn about another culture-and to see their own culture in a new light-through a foreign visitor's eyes. They are excited to welcome someone new into their lives and to make the most of even the briefest of meetings.

We also understand the unique demands that a homestay program places on a school's student body, its administration, and the wider community. We match the complexity of the task with a comprehensive homestay program tailored by experts to our clients' needs.

This is why every year, community and school groups enroll thousands of students and professionals in the The CHI Warm Welcome for Tours & Groups: a full service Homestay Program for tour groups of all sizes and lengths of stay.

Full-Service Homestay Programs for Tour Groups
The CHI Warm Welcome for Tours & Groups is a full-service program designed to make it easy for community and school groups to bring students to Canada.

A single team of experts, working from coast to coast, takes care of everything in your homestay package: overall program design and day-to-day coordination; learning program development and instruction by expert professional educators; extra curricular activity arrangement and qualified supervision; logistics; welcome and departure ceremonies; and of course, selecting and matching students with appropriate hosts; all with the caring and professional attention to detail that have made our private homestay programs the benchmark for the industry.
