Best Homestays in Canada

MLI is a wonderful homestay program! I had the opportunity to host a young lady that stayed for ten months. My family and I enjoyed so many times and outings teaching and also learning from our student. We loved this incredible time and would love to host again because MLI is a wonderful program. They are super supportive and are always available to help in instances where you have questions or are unsure of what to do. I was very very lucky to have an incredible coordinator Lynette in Victoria who was always responsive, patient and kind. Lynette always added to this experience because of her fun loving personality and made us feel incredibly comfortable the entire time. I suggest MLI to future host families. You will not regret it;)

My mom and dad have hosted a couple of students with MLI. My brother and sister and I have really liked having students from other countries stay with us. It’s fun to learn about their culture, their food and share with them about Canada. Our favourite time of year is always Christmas! Our small town has a big community event and we volunteer as elves. It’s so fun!

It's been fun to host exchange students with MLI. It gives my family a taste of what other cultures are like. Our first exchange student was like a daughter, and my kids have fond memories of their "Japanese sister". It's a rewarding experience to give an international student a welcoming stay while in Canada and away from home.

Hosting with MLI was very easy and secure. Initial paperwork to get you set up to have the best match possible. Ongoing support via phone or in person. Looking forward to continue hosting international student with MLI. This is such a great opportunity to discover other cultures and to learn from others while making new contacts worldwide.

I have been hosting with MLI for about 7 or 8 years. They are very well organized and very supportive of their hosts and students!! I have hosted Chinese girls, Japanese, Brazil,Spain and Belgium girls!! Opening my home to the girls and providing a loving home and parents resting assured their children are cared for so many miles ahead!! I have a few that have graduated and have moved on to University and are still in youth with us!! One girl her parents trusted us with her daughter that once she graduated high school moved on the University of Waterloo with a scholarship we were her parents. We took her to University and treated her as our own and set her up and was here in Canada for 7 years after and she went home to China to do her masters but is now looking for employment in Canada to return to and call home And for the coordinators I have dealt with a Rippy who is magnificent at what she does!! I myself have Janis Foy and I could not ask for a more supportive, caring and punctual individual!! You call her for anything and she is right on top of things. Weather it’s for school or travel or concerns that hosts have she is so on top of things. She is very well fit for her position and I could not ask for a better coordinator than her!!! Thank you MLI for an amazing company and to give the children a chance to study in Canada!!

As a local coordinator for MLI, I am naturally inclined to gather people. The difference about this role is the beautiful relationships that Get built sustained. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the students progress with their English proficiency machine. The host family show them on our city. Sometimes just the simplest things are so meaningful. I’ve built many friendships that are working for MLI and I adored the students who still keep in touch in fact, Spanish student hosted in 2017 is now in law school.

I hosted students for 10 years from various countries and every experience was unique. Many of the students I still keep in contact with. It was a rewarding experience not only for myself and my husband but for my whole extended family and friends. Now that I am a Local Coordinator for MLI I share my experience in hosting with other host families as well as interact with many more students from all over the world.

We started hosting in the spring of 2021, and we’ve enjoyed the experience ever since. Providing a home where students feel welcomed comfortable, and supported during this exciting time.
Our local Sudbury coordinator, Devon has been nothing but supportive and encouraging. Communication with her is always easy. We’ve experienced long term, short term and respite placements.
Looking forward to meeting more students and sharing our life in Canada with them.

We recently hosted a wedding at Greenview Paradise, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Every single guest felt comfortable throughout the event. The venue provided everything we needed to entertain our guests, from utensils to comfortable accommodations. The on-site theater was a wonderful bonus, allowing us to unwind after a long day of festivities. What impressed me most was the attention to detail—like the basket of essential commodities in each closet, which came in handy when one of our guests had a wardrobe mishap just minutes before the ceremony. The venue was impeccably clean, cozy, and comfortable, making it the perfect setting for an indoor wedding. I can't recommend Greenview Paradise highly enough for anyone looking for a beautiful and well-thought-out venue.

We recently stayed at Greenview Paradise in Winnipeg, Manitoba and had an amazing experience! The wide range of amenities that are not found in other rentals was a big attraction for us. The house was large enough for our family, clean, and surprisingly well-stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub, play structure, private movie theatre, pool table, table tennis, home gym was a big hit with the fam. The owner was friendly and accommodating and answered all our questions very fast, and the location was perfect for a weekend getaway. I would highly recommend Greenview Paradise to anyone looking for a memorable wedding or a family vacation, or any special celebration. Thank you, Greenview Paradise, for an awesome experience! We will definitely be back!

We had the pleasure of holding our wedding at Daniel’s venue, he was very accommodating and attentive leading up to and during the wedding. We were very pleased with what the place had to offer and how smoothly it is to hold a gathering/wedding here!

We would definitely recommend renting or holding a wedding at Greenview!

Thanks Daniel,
Kim + Adam

We had a wonderful wedding at Greenview Paradise.

Everything in and around this house is organized and thoroughly cleaned. I could tell that Daniel (the owner / director, who is an extremely attentive, helpful, professional, and kind person) put in an enormous amount of effort in taking care of the house maintenance including convenience, comfort, safety, and appearance.

Aside from the wedding event and house - he provided us with a thorough and kind review of the contract and made a huge effort to have our needs met.

We would definitely recommend this place for the future weddings for my friends and family, and in fact we are planning to rent this place again for ourselves for another occasion in the future.

Thank you.

Greenview Paradise provided the most enchanting backdrop for hosting my fiancé's family, and I can't express enough how wonderful their experience was.

From the moment they arrived, Daniel, our host, made us feel like part of his own family. His warm hospitality and attention to detail were truly exceptional. He went above and beyond to ensure their stay was comfortable, memorable, and stress-free. Daniel's genuine care for his guests left a lasting impression on all of us.

As for the venue itself, Greenview Paradise lived up to its billing and then some. The natural beauty surrounding the property is awe-inspiring. The accommodations were top-notch, providing a perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm. It's evident that great care has been taken in maintaining this paradise.

If you're looking for a place that will not only meet but exceed your expectations, Greenview Paradise is the place to be. It's a haven that will take care of your family and leave you with cherished memories. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Thank you, Daniel, and Greenview Paradise, for making my family's stay unforgettable!

We booked this venue for our wedding. We were so impressed by Daniel who knew every detail of the venue and how we could best structure the package to fit our vision. we have been getting non-stop compliments from our friends and family about the venue. Overall the whole place seemed magical. Again a million thanks to Daniel for helping us out. We will always remember with delight the joy we had in Greenview Paradise.

We held our engagement party here and Daniel did all he could to ensure that it was a success. Check in was a breeze as he went over everything in detail while we toured around the property together with the four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. This place has everything, including the high tech sound systems, Roku enabled smart TVs in every room, table tennis table, foosball, pool table and the gym. It is very kid friendly as well with their own bedroom downstairs with two bunk beds and an N64, as well as a theatre room with a popcorn machine to keep them engaged. A fridge with freezer on both floors and all the kitchen utensils and coffee machine, air fryer, etc you can think of. To top it off, the hot tub was great in the winter and right on the deck from the sun room. We would definitely stay here again!

This is very convenient and cozy place to stay. Suitable home for people who are pursuing their careers or education. Dora is a very nice and friendly landlord. I'm grateful for my joyful staying.

My family and I used Greenview as our home away from home during my wedding week to host pre-wedding ceremonies and celebrate. Daniel made the entire experience super comfortable and accommodating from the moment we started chatting all the way till after we had checked-out from the property. I would highly recommend this location for both small and large groups, beautiful property with lots to do in the home as well!

I enjoyed staying at this place. The landlord is kind and good person. The house is excellent too. The neighbourhood is quite and safe.

This was a great place to live. The room mates are friendly and the landlord does a great job of making your stay here amazing! I would recommend this to anybody!

I spent a month here and the overall experience is great.

Roommates are friendly and warm, facility is convenient, yard is lovely, food is fantastic (four dishes every meal, typically two meaty and two veggie), especially if you wanna enjoy some delicious Chinese food.

The host really cares about the tenants, requests feedback about their living experiences, and improves.

I would strong suggest this for your homestay!

The food is great！
And the environment is quiet and clean.
Dora's family are very nice.
I really enjoy living here!

The landlord is very nice and the house is clean and tidy.I highly recommend it and hope to stay again next time.

위치, 방 컨디션, 교통 너무 좋아요!
홈스테이 주인분도 완전 친절하신데 토론토 처음 갔을 때 필요한 것들 같이 차 타고 돌아다니면서 챙겨주시고 많이 도와주셨어요 ㅠㅠ
주인분들 가족은 같이 안살고, 근처에 사셔서 매일 와서 청소해주세요.
공용 욕실도 깔끔하고, 화장실과 샤워실 집 안에 각각 총 2개씩. 세탁기와 건조기는 지하에서 쓰면 되는데 역시 깔끔하고 좋아요.
마트도 완전 가깝고, 큰길가와도 가까운데 또 주택가는 조용하고 깔끔한 동네 산책하기도 너무 좋아요.
한인타운이랑 리틀이태리도 걸어갈 수 있는 거리!
다운타운도 30분이면 가요 ㅎㅎ
여기서 홈스테이 안했으면 정말 토론토에 적응하기 힘들었을 듯 ㅠㅠ
