Airport Pick-Up Services
NetSoft’s airport pick-up services are meant to get your stay in Canada off to a positive start. For a fee of $75, NetSoft will arrange to pick you up at the airport upon your arrival. As we introduce you to the NetSoft premises and help you find your way, we will be able to answer any questions and help make your first day in Canada and at NetSoft comfortable and exciting. Students requiring airport pick-up services must provide the college with their information, including name, student number, airline name, flight number, and date and time of arrival in Toronto, in advance to make sure that NetSoft is able to make the necessary arrangements.
Homestay and Private Accommodation
We provide homestays or private accommodation for students through our service providers. A homestay allows an international student to live in a Canadian home as a member of the family. Students who live in homestays find that their English improves dramatically through conversation and daily interaction with their hosts. Homestays provide students with a safe, clean and caring atmosphere during their time in Canada. Homestay families help students adjust to their exciting new lifestyle and introduce them to the neighbourhood and transit system. NetSoft realizes that this may be the first time students are travelling away from their home and is committed to providing a safe, secure and caring home away from home. The rates for homestays or private accommodation depend on the individual’s needs and requirements, and there is a one-time, non-refundable administration fee of $350.

Health Insurance
Everybody living in Canada must have access to medical attention in case of illness or accidents. Medical costs are very expensive in Canada and are not covered by the government for international students. For example, a hospital stay in Canada can cost more than $4,000 per day. NetSoft strongly advises all international students to have their health insurance coverage in place for the entire period of enrolment. Our Student Advisor can assist students with the process at their own expense. Upon request, NetSoft will arrange health insurance for students through its service providers. The approximate cost of health insurance is between $50 and $65 per month, and there is a one-time, non-refundable setup fee of $50.
