Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do you still do homestay in Victoria?
A. Sorry! We have moved to Ontario, and do not do homestay in Victoria. There are many other good homestays in Victoria, and we recommend that you ask your ESL school to arrange a homestay for you.
Q. What can I do if I don't like my homestay?
A. If you do not like your homestay, you can always change it. Your school may be able to help you find a homestay that is better for you, and your friends also may be able to help you find a new homestay, or a share house.
 Q. Do you have pets?
A. Yes we do! We have three cats, named ‘Klee Wyck’,
‘Sam’, and ‘Frodo’. They come into the
house, but are not allowed in the student’s rooms unless you
invite them in. We are careful to keep the house very clean, and use air
filters to make sure the air in the house is always fresh.
Some of the students become friends with the cats. Here is what
Jinny thought of our cats in Victoria:
