As we welcome the New Year, we would like to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude to all of our host families here in Victoria.

Thanks to your continued support, international students from around the world—especially from Japan—have been able to begin their study abroad journey with confidence and peace of mind. Opening your home to a student is more than providing a place to stay; it is offering warmth, understanding, and a sense of belonging in a new country. Your kindness plays an essential role in helping students adjust to life in Canada and fully enjoy their time in Victoria.

Over the past year, we have seen many meaningful connections formed between host families and students. From sharing daily meals and conversations to celebrating cultural differences and milestones together, these experiences have created lasting memories for both students and families. We are truly grateful for the care, patience, and generosity you show each student.

As we move into the New Year, we look forward to continuing our work with you and welcoming more students into our host family community. We remain committed to supporting you throughout the year and working closely together to ensure positive and rewarding homestay experiences for everyone involved.

Thank you once again for being such an important part of our program. We wish you and your families a happy, healthy, and fulfilling New Year, and we look forward to another year of meaningful collaboration.

Warm regards,
Homestay Team
