Moreover, many families in Canada welcome international students, and host families are very suitable for students who have just arrived in Canada. Most host families can provide private rooms with furniture, meals and most daily necessities. In this way, living in a host family basically does not need to go out to buy food and daily necessities, which can save a lot of energy, money and time and concentrate on study. At the same time, in life, most host families welcome and encourage foreign students to participate in family activities. Interaction with them is an effective way to improve English or grammar, understand daily life in Canada and make new friends.
The average cost of a host family ranges from 600 to 800 yuan dollars per month. Some students or parents are worried about whether foreign students will be influenced by host families. It can be closer than the simple landlord and tenant. Not only is the rent more even, but students are regarded as part of the family, their daily diet is taken care of, and they can also use indoor equipment. There was once an international student who could even use the owner's car frequently. Some international students' owners took him to Disneyland for Christmas. Of course, as a member of the family, foreign students should take the initiative to help with housework, such as cleaning, mowing grass, shoveling snow and so on. Work together to enhance friendship and experience the life and culture of foreigners.
In Canada, international students can ask local families in advance before choosing a host family, and the immigration study centers of various schools will also truthfully announce the basic situation of each host family. Of course, even if you choose a host family, it doesn't mean you can stay here without any scruples.
Attention should be paid to the following matters:
Bathroom and kitchen are two places that westerners pay most attention to. After using the shower, toilet or kitchen, be sure to clean it up before leaving.
You should take a bath every day and keep personal hygiene.
③ Students should not use the host family's telephone to surf the Internet or make international calls. You need to apply for a separate telephone line to surf the Internet and a calling card to make international calls. Household appliances in other host families can be used by students.
Students and members of host families are friends, and both sides should respect each other. Students should take the initiative to help with housework, such as cleaning the house, mowing the grass and shoveling snow. So as to enhance friendship and better experience the culture of living abroad.
⑤ If the host family has any problems, students can directly negotiate with the host family through the staff of the international department of the college or university.
Students who intend to apply to stay in a host family in Canada should consider their own personality characteristics and living habits, and whether they want traditional Canadians to get in touch again. Students who have this intention can contact the study abroad immigration center and carefully choose the host family they want to integrate into. If we can solve the accommodation problem and live in harmony like big friends, it is of course the best.
