Thinking of hosting, need more info?

Question

I really want to host a student from South Korea. I've spoken to my mom about it, and she asked me to look into it. The thing is, my parents aren't willing to host unless they are somewhat paid for hosting the student. I live in Montreal, Quebec. Is there any host programs here? I had a friend from Korea who lived here for a year and she told me it had costed her about $40,000 for just to study here. I'd ask my friend but I haven't spoken to her since March.

Answer 1

Paid host families are rare to find now since programs don't want people hosting only for the money. And honestly your family shouldn't be hosting if they want money for it. It's suppose to be about opening your home and culture to another person from around the world. You shouldn't be worrying whether your going to get paid for it.
