It was a bad experience. I won't suggest home stay to my enemies.
Host reply
I'm sorry but I had applied
for the 25% deposit fee to cover my loss for holding a room for Emmanuel. I was sorry to hear that his study Visa didn't get approved.
But did offer to give him a free months rent if his study Visa got approved at a latter date to make up for his loss.February 2020
Staying with Deb is an amazing experience! She makes her house feel like a home and she'll welcome you with open arms. If you're thinking about staying with Deb, I'll highly recommend you to go right ahead!

Deb is a gem of aperson, the first day when I was going to land in Thunder Bay my flight got delayed bythree hours - I landed at 1 a.m. I thought she won’t be able to come and pickme up this late, but when I told her that my flight got delayed she said "no problem" and shewill be there. This was really a great help as it is was a new country and a new place forme.
Secondly staying at her place is enjoyable and comfortable. You get to meet new peoplemake new friends and understand the Canadian culture. Deb cooks really good sowhenever she is cooking don't miss the food it’s going to be delicious!! especiallychicken, pumpkin pie and beef balls Oh it was so good!!!
She willalways offer you to go out with her to visit places around the city she is agreat host, she knows the city very well. During my stay within a month she tookme to many places like parks, shopping areas, museum, scenic points, open airmovies, theater and went to many other places.
I got to meetsome wonderful people through Deb made new friends, she is very helpful and will alwaystry to suggest you the best. Even though I have moved out from her place we still meet, she is a good friend.
I will suggest anyone coming to Thunder Bay to stay in her home stay to have an overall experience of the city and people here, you will not regret !!

I highly recommend for all who want to live a true Canadian experience, and also for those people who want to improve their speaking in English.
Debb and the other who live with her are very lovely and careful.
