Home AwayFrom Home
At The University of Winnipeg, we make you feel at home. Our homestay program, socio-cultural activities, and language partner programs offer you the chance to improve your English while having fun and creating lasting friendships.
HOMESTAY
Take advantage of our homestay program and live with an English-speaking family, couple, or single person in Winnipeg. It’s a great way to adjust to life in Winnipeg, practice your English language skills, and learn about Canadian life and culture.
Host families are evaluated carefully, and offer a safe, comfortable home environment. You can expect a private, furnished room; internet; three meals a day; and the experience of being part of a Canadian family.
Homestay fees vary by program and include an airport pick-up, private bedroom, shared bathroom, and food. There are one-time application and placement fees due with the homestay application — see p.11, “Fees Due with Your Application”.

My host mother cooks many good and healthy meals for us, and we
usually hang out after dinner every day. The house is clean and tidy because we clean it together
every weekend.”
