If you are planning to be away from home overnight, alternative arrangements will need to be made for your student(s). Chilliwack ISP students can not be left alone overnight without proper adult supervision under any circumstances, regardless of their age, level of maturity or trustworthiness. International Students are minors in our care, and legally require appropriate adult supervision.
Please submit the Homestay Respite Arrangement Form (scroll down to complete) no later than 14 days before the date that respite is required, to allow the Homestay Coordinator enough time to make any necessary arrangements. If respite is required on short notice due to unforeseen circumstances, please complete the form and contact the Homestay Coordinator about the urgency of the request.
The supervising adult must be a person 25 years of age or older, with a valid RCMP Police Information Check (PIC) with a “Vulnerable Sector” check.
If you have arranged a supervising adult that is not already an approved Chilliwack ISP host parent, this person will need to have a RCMP Police Information Check completed.
*Please note that the Chilliwack International Student Program is not responsible for any fees associated with completing a PIC for respite adults.
You are required to inform the Chilliwack ISP Homestay Coordinator of the arrangement for a supervising adult and obtain approval in advance.
