Homestay in Vancouver, Canada
Hi my name is Jacob, my wife and I have done homestay before. We immigrated to Canada over 30 years ago and we want to do homestay because we also want to provide a welcoming experience to students from other countries. We have 3 rooms available for students (preferably 3 boys or 3 girls).
We are 5-10 minute walk away to parks and the community centre (with a gym). The #25 Bus is a 2-3 minute walk away. We are a 10 minute bus ride to the Nanaimo Skytrain station and a 15 minute walk to the Rupert Skytrain station. Our home is close to BCIT Burnaby Campus and LaSalle College. It's a 1 hour direct bus ride to UBC and a 45 minute to SFU. Our neighbourhood is very quiet and safe with lots of friendly neighbours.
My wife and I speak English and mainly Cantonese and Mandarin. We cook a variety of dishes but mainly consisting of Chinese food. We're happy to cook, learn and practice English with you.
Room per month with meals: $1500
Room per month without meals: $1000
