Get exterior of the cities or southern Ontario as well as you'll live on going a long way without seeing much except route as well as empty. There are huge swaths of the province where in that location are no roads, as well as thence all yous teach is empty. Beautiful empty inwards lots of places, but empty.
3. Most of Canada is actually mutual frigidity inwards the winter
Really cold. You tin give the sack locomote yesteryear from exposure easily. Buy the correct clothes. Learn what layering means.
4. Canada has over-focused on resources extraction for the yesteryear decade
Canada has enormous natural resources. For the yesteryear decade, the only defeated authorities bet heavily on fossil oil from the fossil oil sands every bit the dominant part of the economy. Which was form of stupid as well as has led to several structural problems inwards the Canadian economy. Oil is inwards the dumper, the Canadian manufacturing heartland has been ignored as well as conception inwards modern economies has been paid generally lip service.
Financial services companies receive got been heavily focused on fossil oil extraction as well as transportation too. So there's a lot of hurting inwards the economic scheme correct now, which should live on alleviated over the side yesteryear side iv years every bit diversification strategies amongst the novel Alberta as well as Canadian governments comport fruit as well as every bit fossil oil rebounds a bit.
5. Canada has 2 official languages
English as well as French.
Mostly yous tin give the sack teach yesteryear amongst only English linguistic communication inwards the entirety of Canada, but French is useful inwards Quebec as well as parts of the Maritimes yous mightiness visit. If your French is a lot improve than your English, consider Montreal.

Especially Toronto. If yous teach homesick, you'll live on able to involve heed the linguistic communication of your homeland, teach the nutrient as well as head to the music. Most of the worst materials volition receive got been left behind as well as generally the innocuous cultural materials volition live on available. And if yous don't similar the culture, linguistic communication or foods of your homeland, they volition live on piece of cake to avoid or ignore.
7. Canada is actually slowly politically
And that's a skilful thing. We receive got federal elections every iv years inwards which all of the parties as well as all of their supporters convey the results. No 1 tries to overthrow the government. We receive got provincial as well as municipal elections on a unlike schedule. And they are peaceful. Canadians teach rowdy afterward hockey games occasionally, but that's contained as well as over quickly.
8. Canada has really potent rights as well as freedoms for individuals
The Charter of Rights as well as Freedoms pretty much guarantees that yous are gratis to practise your religion, your innate sexuality as well as to receive got closed to equal chance amongst people of other ethnicities.
It's non perfect. There's notwithstanding discrimination as well as outright bigotry inwards Canada, but it's actually subdued compared to most places as well as if it happens, in that location are potent legal frameworks enabling yous to teach justice. And Canadians only voted out a authorities that was trying to alter that because Canadians similar it that way.
9. Canada is pretty polite
Not inwards the British etiquette-is-a-weapon way, but inwards the basic niceness way. Among other things, that agency that vigorously inciting people to violence against people who aren't similar them is frowned on. By the law. Your correct to swing your fist stops at the signal where someone else's olfactory organ starts, as well as your correct to talk offensive spoken communication stops when yous are enflaming people to swing fists at other people's noses. This isn't censorship, only sensible.
10. You tin give the sack drinkable the H2O as well as breathe the air
Most of the fourth dimension inwards most of the places. Tap H2O inwards Canada is almost guaranteed to live on every bit skilful every bit bottled H2O inwards many or fifty-fifty most countries only about the world. And the air character -- exterior of wood burn downwardly flavour inwards a duad of cities -- is improve than most cities inwards the basis most of the time.
