Apartment and Residence
PLI has a variety of residence and apartment options that are conveniently located and offer more independent living for students. We have inspected all residences and apartments to ensure that they are clean, neat and have all the basic facilities.
Please visit Schools Canada and "Accommodation Information" under the city in which you would like to stay. This section will give you a guide to prices – please note that prices can change without notice, and some options may not be available at the time of booking, especially during the Canadian summer.
Studio suite
Features a combined sleeping/living area, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom.
1 or 2 bedroom apartments
Includes 1 or 2 separate bedrooms, a living/eating area, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom. In many one-bedroom apartments there is also a sofa-bed in the living area, so this type of apartment can often be shared by two people. Linens and towels are included, and all options include at least weekly housekeeping services.
A placement fee of CAD $240 is payable on all options. A credit card or a cash deposit (money order or bank wire) is usually required to secure the reservation and/or for the damage deposit. The deposit will be refunded at the end of the stay if there is no damage to the room.
Accommodation is within easy travelling distance to the school: 15 - 50 minutes by public transportation.
