DESCRIPTION OF FEES AND GENERAL INFORMATION Accommodation Placement Fee This charge covers the expense of finding a suitable host family for each student. It includes any necessary post-arrival counseling and re-placement to a new home, if the student is not satisfied with the original placement, within the first 4 weeks. Meal Plan Full Board includes three meals per day plus snacks, seven days per week. The host family will prepare dinner most nights; students may be required to prepare their own breakfast and bag lunch for school. Half Board includes breakfast and dinner only. Again, the host family will prepare dinner most nights; students may be required to prepare their own breakfast. Location Our Zone 2 Homestays are located 45-60 minutes from the Center by public transit, and Zone 1 Homestays are 30-45 minutes from the Center. We calculate the commuting time following the posted transit schedules in each city, plus additional walking time where necessary. Actual travel times may vary slightly on a day-today basis depending on factors beyond our control such as traffic or weather. Youth Student Surcharge As there is a greater degree of responsibility required in taking care of younger students, the above charge applies to any student 17 years old or younger. If a student turns 18 during their stay with us, the adult rate will apply from the first full session following their 18th birthday. Private Bathroom Students will have exclusive use of their own bathroom facilities, which will include a shower or bath. Guaranteed High-Speed Internet Access Students will have Internet access (i.e. cable, DSL or wireless) for no additional charge. This service is only available for students bringing their own laptop or other wireless device. Any additional charges required due to non-compatibility issues are strictly the student s responsibility. ELS is not responsible for any Internet connection difficulties in the homestay. Airport Pickup Service Students will be met at the airport by a representative of the Airport Pickup Service (holding a sign with their name on it), who will take them to their new home and introduce them to their Homestay family. Pickup Service is only available for students with flights scheduled to arrive before 11pm. Airport Pickup Service arranged through ELS is only available for students residing in our homestay program, or staying in apartments or hotels that ELS has arranged. Airport pickup service is mandatory for all students ages 16 and 17 residing in our homestay program. Airport Return Service Students will be picked up at their homestay and driven to the airport by our Airport Return Service. Typically, we plan for students to be at the airport three hours prior to their departure for international flights. Homestay Period Homestay fees are applied to a 4-week period. Students are welcome to arrive anytime on Saturday or Sunday before their program begins and depart anytime on Saturday or Sunday after their program finishes. Early arrivals (before Saturday) and late departures (after Sunday) will be subject to a rate of CAD$35 per night (students ages 16 17 pay CAD$40). Payment of Homestay Fees Students are required to pre-pay a minimum of the first sessions Homestay rent and the Accommodation Placement fee at the time course fees are remitted. Homestay is only guaranteed for the sessions students have pre-paid for in full, therefore we recommend that students pre-pay the full amount for the number of sessions they will be studying. If a student has to be moved, due to not pre-paying the entire homestay period, there may be a CAD $125 Re-Placement Fee. All students under ELS Canada guardianship must pre-pay their full homestay fees for the entire length of their studies. Following the first session, fees are payable to the school (apart from students who have pre-paid in full). Fees are payable in Canadian funds two weeks before the start of the next session. Notarized Guardianship Letter Some students aged 18 or younger may be required to have their parents appoint a legal guardian for them while in Canada. ELS Canada Center staff can perform this service, and we can provide a notarized Guardianship Letter, as long as the student is using our Homestay service. There will be a CAD$75 charge for the letter. More information on when a Guardianship Letter is required can be found at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-minors.asp. An additional Courier Fee of CAD$75 may be charged if the document needs to be sent by courier. Unaccompanied Minor Fee When required by an airline or airport authority. The fee covers the additional time required when picking up and dropping off the students with Unaccompanied Minor documentation. Please contact the school directly at info@elscanada.com for more details on completing the Unaccompanied Minor documentation.
2018 SESSION DATES AND HOLIDAYS English for Academic Purposes (including TOEFL ibt and IELTS Preparation Programs) General English (including English for Business), Semi-Intensive English Program Start Dates The ELS Language Centers curriculum is organized into 4-week sessions. For that reason, we strongly recommend that students make every effort to begin their studies on a regular Start Date and study a minimum of four weeks. That way they will receive a full orientation and complete the full 4-week session. However, we recognize that students are not always able to arrange their travel around our schedule; therefore we will accept students for a minimum of two weeks, and they are able to begin their program on the second or third Monday of a session. Counseling representatives must inform these students that they are starting on an irregular date and that they will be joining classes that have already been together for a while and that they may not complete the full 4-week session. We do not accept new students in the fourth week of a session. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have about Start Dates and students beginning on irregular dates. Please feel free to contact us at: info@elscanada.com.
