The search is on for families to host foreign teens who will attend North Vancouver, Burnaby and Vancouver high schools
As back-to-school time gets closer, an urgent plea is being put out for host families for international students in several parts of the Lower Mainland, including North Vancouver, Burnaby and Vancouver.
There’s also more competition for host families. Many language schools that cater to post-secondary students weren’t operating during COVID but are now back up and running, said Lee. In North Vancouver, the need for host families is particularly keen in the Seycove, Argyle and Sutherland areas, added Lee.
“These are minors. They are kids. It’s not room and board. It’s not room without board," she said. “It’s very much a family. It’s very much people that are there to act in that caring family mode while a teen is here in Canada.” About 400 international students will also be landing in West Vancouver soon, said Tricia Buckley, spokeswoman for the West Vancouver School District.
