Living with a Canadian family is one of the best ways for students to practice their English skills while at the same time learning about Canadian culture and lifestyle. IGK host families are carefully screened, and inspected on a regular basis for their ability to provide a safe, clean, caring and friendly living environment. Host families go through an intensive interview process, criminal record check and fill out a family profile prior to hosting students. Almost all IGK host families have pets; dogs, cats or both. Pets are treated as part of the family in Canada.
IGK’s on site Homestay Coordinators customize each placement with regards to special needs, requests, diet, hobbies, personalities and family dynamics. Kelowna is Canada’s #1 summer resort destination and as a result homestays are heavily booked from July 1-August 15 every year and special requests cannot be accommodated during that time. IGK homestays are unavailable for students booking part time classes in July and August.
IGK's host families are all native English speakers unlike most families in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal etc., where there are many immigrants and non English speakers. Your English skills will improve much faster in Kelowna than in other cities as a result of this.
