When you first arrive in Canada you may need short-term housing. Many places have daily, weekly, or monthly rates for short-term housing. Some options include:
- Hostels, motels and hotels
- Bed and breakfasts (B&Bs)
- Apartments
- Guesthouses
- College and university residences (open from May to August for non-students and families)
You may also be able to sublet (rent from a renter) a house or apartment for a few months. You can find sublets in local newspapers or through college/university housing services as many students leave the Region between May and August.
You can find short-term housing by contacting a travel agency or using Canada.travel, HomeAway or AirBnB.
