Homestay
Durham Catholic District School Board strongly recommends that our international students take advantage of our partnership with MLI Homestay. Living with a Canadian family is an excellent opportunity for international students to learn the English language and culture of Canada. MLI Homestay program will also offer Custodianship Services to international students under the age of 18 years.
After submitting the international education applications to DCDSB, students can apply to this homestay program through the following website.
Custodianship
International students under 18 years old who don’t come with their parent or legal guardian must appoint a custodian in Canada.
A custodian must
- be a responsible adult.
- be at least 19 years of age.
- be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident.
- take care of and support the international student.
Parents and the custodian must complete the Custodianship Declaration Form (available on the IRCC website) and submit the signed and notarized Custodianship Declaration Form to DCDSB International Education team.
For more information about how to appoint a custodian, please visit the IRCC webpage.
