ABOUT
Staying with a Canadian family is an excellent way to improve your English as well as to
learn about another culture. The Cut Fashion Design Academy and The Cutting Room have
paired up with Northwest Homestay to help you find the perfect for your duration of study.
Life in Canada is likely to be very different from that in your own country, so you will be
adapting to a new home, new food, new customs, as well as a new language. Don’t be shy
about being involved with your host family. They will want you to gain a good experience from
your visit with them. You may want to stay in touch with your new-found family so, when you
leave, remember to give them your forwarding address.
