Homestay:
Homestay students are placed with carefully selected Canadian families that offer a secure and friendly environment.
Connect provides a variety of homestay family-types including: retired couples, vegetarian, single professional people, families with children or families with teen-agers.
Students are provided with a private bedroom, bathroom facilities, meals and contact with English-speaking Canadians every day. The host family provides basic information on how to function in Canada such as: how to use the public transportation to go to and from school, where to shop, and how to get to the local library, bank, recreation centre and pharmacy.
Accomodation:Youth Hostels: the biggest advantage of staying in a youth hostel is that they are cheap. You can sleep in a bed for between $20 CDN to $30 CDN per night. In Canada, the youth hostel will have up to 10 people in one room. There are some other room options but you need to book well in advance especially during July and August. You will share a bathroom and food is not provided although you might be able to pick up some breakfast in the lobby. The locations of the youth hostels in Toronto are central and close to public transit.
Dormitory: there are very few dormitories in Toronto. They operate from the first of May until the middle of August. They offer private rooms and shared kitchens and bathrooms. Some may have air-conditioned rooms. The dormitories are centrally located in Toronto and close to public transportation. Food is not included in the fees however most will offer breakfast in their cafeteria. The dormitories recommended by Connect offer a good security system to ensure your protection. They are safe and clean.
Standard Apartments: there are very few places in Toronto that offer a basic apartment in Toronto. Connect recommends three places but these are booked very quickly. Unfortunately, due to the lack of apartment options in Toronto, the prices have gone up very high in the last three years. Therefore, to stay in a basic, furnished apartment with a kitchen in Toronto will cost between $1600 CDN to $2000 CDN.Basement Apartments: one of the best options available to students is the basement apartment. Many families in Canada renovate their basement into a small apartment with a kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Many Canadian students and young people live in these apartments throughout Toronto because they are comfortable and reasonably-priced. We have a number of apartments available which range in price from $600 to $900 per month. You will be expected to pay the first and last month for these apartments and a security deposit. These rooms are private, safe and clean. They are excellent for budget-minded travelers. Usually, couples are accepted but if there are more than 2 people, you may have to spend a little more. As a bonus, some families may even spend some time with you or invite you to dinner.
