If your from Europe I would recommend moving to someplace in New England first. places like Connecticut and Massachusetts have large populations of greek, russian and french ect. So you should have an easier time adapting then if you moved to some place like the Texas countryside.

For anyone moving to the USA, remember that the US is NOT one single "culture". There's many very different cultures within the United States. The south, the midwest, the north, etc. are all VERY different places. One of the most common assumptions people make is thinking that everywhere you go in the US is the same type of "yes ma'am, no ma'am" stuff. False. You will never hear anyone say such a thing in the north. Know your geography of the state you're going to beforehand, and learn the differences between each state and its regions, to get an accurate understanding of how diverse the country is. Otherwise you'll end up looking pretty stupid making the wrong assumptions about how a state's culture actually is.
I am from Minnesota and I always say, "Yes, ma'am", "No ma'am", Thank You, Please, You're Welcome, and generally otherwise display good manners. There is no true/false about any part of the U.S..
I live in Pennsylvania, northeastern part of the county, all my life and I don’t agree with what you said. I worked at Dunkin all throughout my college years and got called “ma’am” multiple times by women older than me lolll
@@madelinegarden7554 same I’m in south central Pennsylvania and I’m called ma’am constantly in public and was raised to say yes ma’am and yes sir to elders and strangers. It’s a sign of respect up in the North too. Not just a southern thing!
You’re right about people not paying attention to politics in Canada. They don’t want us to. That’s why it’s gone to hell in a hand basket. Everyone should pay attention. They take it for granted and now we have cultural marxists in charge trying to change everything and ushering in a socialist era while telling you they’re not. It’s sad.
I grew up in Oklahoma in the 80's and 90's and very few people said sir and ma' am. It was usually in business situations where it was used to customers or by law enforcement to people they were speaking. No young person ever called another young person sir or ma'am. They only used those words when addressing an older stranger for the first time. They often might not close with them either after saying "thank you" or just "thanks". It seems the former Slave Owning states which make up the South are much more formal in this way. Oklahoma was not part of the pre- Civil War South.
I'm an American, and some of the things you mentioned are just about Texas or the South, (and possibly parts of the Midwest). They are not common in the rest of the United States. For example, ma'am and sir are not common or required for respect outside those areas , and it's considered rude to use ma'am because it's more of a passive aggressive way to either put someone in their place or hint that a person is old. Which sounds similar to Canada. Also, the job and education pressures are definitely higher elsewhere in the country. I guess I always looked at Asian countries and felt like American kids had it easier and more laid back in comparison haha, but Canada sounds less stressful, which is nice! Texas is cool, but it's really a different place, culturally, so I definitely recommend traveling a bit if you get any time, just to experience the differences! It's interesting to hear your perspective, and best of luck with everything!
I’m canadian and I live in the US as well. I love both countries but I prefer the US. Better opportunities, economy is better, lower taxes (depending on where you live but I’m pretty sure taxes in Canada is higher then everywhere in the US.) I do agree with you how canadians dont know a whole lot about politics in their own country. I feel like people blindly vote without knowing what’s going on or what would happen. I personally believe the US is one of the best countries in the world to live in (still love Canada but). I moved here in Middle school but as I got older I started to realize why so many people wanted to live and move here.

I will say, I’m from the west coast and I have lived in Mississippi and I can say it was required for us to say “ma’am” and “sir” to our authoritative figures in elementary in MS. While in California we have been able to call our teachers by name or mr/mrs/last name. Never use ma’am. Very weird to leave Cali and go to the south and have that be a requirement.
I live in the middle east and one of my biggest dreams is moving to the USA, I'm about to switch to high school, my big sister is about to start her last year of high school (in 6 months) and my small sister is switching to middle school. I think it would make sense for us to move since we get a graduation ceremony, we will be able to get new friends anyways so I think it's a good idea...
That's true in the US public schools from 1st -12th grades (from elementary to middle to high school) we go by Mrs. or Mr. (Last name). At college/university level it is less formal since we are all adults by that point and some college professors don't mind being called by their first name. While other professors prefer being called Professor (Last name).
I'm moving to USA next year. So Im going to watch videos like this so I don't get confused after moving. I have to get used to american things like the imperial system. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it.
I live in the USA but go to Calgary every year for the Calgary Stampede. When I am in Seattle I head over to Vancouver for a bit. Been to Halifax Nova Scotia where all the people from the Titanic are. Canada is a very interesting country my favorite place is Frank Slide Alberta.
I’m American I’ve grown up American I will always be American but just for the record I do want to say, we shove our heads into politics and fighting about it all even I personally am NOT into politics but yet I know more then I wish 🥲 so if you do decide to come to the US, I’d say DEFINITELY do your research even just a bit so that you know what’s going on in politics. I would say be careful not to make friends with politicians if your not into politics, that’s all they talk about-
You are welcome to come to the U.S.! It is actually good here compared to what the media says. But I wish I move to Switzerland. And if you don't like it here, you are free to move to another state! Welcome!

But I never engage in discussions about it cuz people get very butt hurt if you don’t subscribe to their political preferences (at least in Texas) basically if you’re Democrat only talk to dems and if you’re a republican only talk to other republicans and you’ll be fine 😂.

Canadian Here: It's okay to call people mam or sir, its just seen as more proper and respectful, but it's not considered rude at all I don't think so. Goodluck on your move to Canada I hope you enjoy it
Very insightful point about the intense competitive culture around education and youth here in the U.S. I live in a major metro area with good schools and a fairly high level of income on average. Our kids are under immense pressure to play the right sports and excel in them, take extra-curriculars and build their resumes, add on college course and robotics -- but most of all, advanced placement and honors classes (who can handle the most?), particularly in STEM fields. It's like a race to catapult your kid into success in an economy that is about as mobile as a greased cliff. And it's driving many kids to depression and crippling anxiety. Meanwhile, in areas of urban and rural poverty, the kids are just struggling to eat and not get shot. This is increasingly NOT a good country to grow up in -- and the pandemic has made things immeasurably worse.
Excuse me? I don't mean to invalidate your experience, but I can say I prefer it in the states then my old home so much more and I've never felt an ounce of competition. I think it just depends on upbringing and what specific state you are in, I now live in a mix of both rural and urban and never experienced either
i’m a canadian wanting to move to arizona so badly :( i’m the happiest there! but it’s really not possible for me since i won’t have a NAFTA profession
@@CR7suiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii7 you clearly don’t understand what i said. as a CANADIAN, in order to be able to LEGALLY WORK, other than marrying an american or being sponsored by a company (which is hard to achieve), you need a NAFTA job.
@@angelina-aisha allots of Canadians get sponsored yearly Canada if anything has an advantage than most countries with such close ties H-1B visa can allow you get a job as long as the requirement is bachelors or higher if anything and from there you have your H-1B and you can apply for green card for permanent residence
As an American I can say,,,just because someone has an opinion on politics, does not mean they know what is going on. it is usually just what Fox News has told them.
As an American, the MAIN problem here is how easy (and necessary) it is to get into debt. Car debt, college debt, healthcare debt, and mortgage. A typical day as an American is to get up, eat unhealthy breakfast,maybe see your children, go to work with toxic coworkers, come home to maybe some cooked dinner because your woman also has to work, see your children for a while, and that's it. And repeat because you have to pay off mortgage, car loans, student loans, insurance, and your kids future college tuition. It's a lifeless lifestyle because it's a competitive lifestyle whether it's with your neighbors or coworkers.
I'm a from Denmark, wishing to have a year free after I finish up my education in the Us. I must tell ya that wow, Danish politics is so much more different then in the united states.
Jackie, unless you were in a major city, or you are in the Conservative Party in Canada, Texas wasn't the best example. A better place would be a blue city in a blue state, such as here in the San Francisco Bay Area. We agree with Canada (and the EU) on pretty much everything here. 🙂
One of the things I believe other countries do better then the USA is value life. she mentioned the crazy competition for jobs or universities. In other countries people value experiences over careers or jobs making it healthier. Another thing is feeling safe, I felt a lot safer in Europe when it comes to crime or law enforcement.
@@socomxx competition is everywhere, but there's a line where the value of healthy competition is just of the window. as an American myself, I found the competition toxic and makes me believe that there's no point for effort because people less qualified would get picked about people with actual development or preparation.
In economic terms, it depends on if your income level. If you're a low or middle income guy you'd have it better in Canada, probably. Because of the health care system. If you're a high-earner - Making at least $100,000 - chances are you'll be better off in America. Because you'll have more career opportunities and less taxes.
@Ti Klim America still has tremendous opportunities, just not for people who can't make it to at least $70,000. Me personally, I could probably make a killing if I were an American. But I guess it wasn't in my stars.
@Ti Klim I am an immigrant to another western country. Yeah, my parents pretty much stayed s--- their entire lives. I pursued a good career, so I didn't end up like that.
College. It's college. And what would change spelling-wise aside from O to OU as in color/colour and ER to RE as in theater/theatre etc? I believe both are accepted anyway. As far as politics...there are a lot of people who THINK they know what's going on...and generally are more vocal about it, regardless of how well informed they are. There's probably much more discussion about it here since there are countless tv channels, youtube channels etc that are non-stop, 100% dedicated to US politics.
@ I'm American. I grew up in Canada. Yes, Canadians use the term high school. Think of "college" in Canada the way in the US we often use "academy," like Philips Exeter Academy where presidents and business leaders went before going to schools like Harvard and Yale.
@@billpike-cn5pz So is it a 2 year school... like Junior and Senior years of high school, or all 4 years (grade 9-12)? Btw..my high school was called "Institute", but it was still just a regular high school. There is a nearby school called "Academy" but it also includes "Jr. High School" (Grades 6-8), so I'm not sure how official any of the these designations are. I know in Europe their grade/age system is quite different.
Thanks Jackie. My son was born in Houston but currently we are living in Canada. I am wondering if we need to move back to Houston for my son’s university in US in the future. What do you think? Which option is better for my son’s future opportunities by going to Canadian university or American university? Thanks for your opinion.
My opinion as a parent of two 30+ year old adults is if you decide on an education in the US, do not go deep into debt for it. The best way is to decide which state is best for you, learn their requirements to qualify for in-state tuition, and then do what you need to do to get that. Texas has many good state universities to choose from, many opportunities for employment, and a relatively low cost of living, so that may be a good choice.
Many years ago I wrote an essay which included that schoolchildren in the western world ought to be taught the history of politics using the acclaimed work of the late Karl Popper. One of the very best objectively social scientists of the last century. Using his two volume paperback called "The Open Society and its Enemies.." We need- understand-where our societies Are Going if each one of us are to reasonably and critically understand current emergent politics ; and the left or right main roadmaps so to speak. So get reading even If Not a current student.
Your video is so interesting and many of things you say are true, oh by the way here in AZ we could call our teacher by her/his first name, very informally and very cool, I really didn't get why you had this issue in TX, I have been there and it didn't seem so different, mah interesting. But other than that YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND ELEGANT.
Don't be so embarrassed. You have an explanation for your English and cultural differences. Born Americans do embarrassing things on the daily and completely brush it off, like turn in papers rife with evidence of their illiteracy. That you are so easily embarrassed is one of your cultural differences. Just say "Sorry, I'm from Canada" and you'll probably be met with a chorus of "Oh, Sorry"s.
That's adorable. "The job market in America is competitive". The way we see it is that we compete against the world! We are not raised to believe that, it's inherent.
I moved to California from Canada. I would never live anywhere else in the US, except maybe Hawaii. Never would I live in Texas. Nope. California doesn't have the sir/ma'am culture either.
There’s a joke that comes painfully close to reality: A Canadian is an American without a gun and with health insurance. BTW I’m an American with two Canadian grandparents. I grew up in New York State a few miles from the Ontario border.
@@GossAug In the 1950s my family drove across the border from Buffalo to buy fireworks (cherry bombs and M80s) that were illegal in New York State. We smuggled them back across the border. How things have changed in 65+ years! Nowadays as a Californian I’d just like to visit some friends in Vancouver. I promise I won’t misbehave.
in California, do not refer to people as maam or sir. They are way too formal and maam is archaic to us. A professor you would refer to as prof, dr, mr, or ms with their LAST name. You do not use their 1st name.
To go to school at your age is so insane here in u.s. for the first 170 years we only went to school until 13 then for a political reason we changed it but I've seen what they were learning at 13 and no collage graduate could pass any of it

A typical day as an American is to get up, eat unhealthy breakfast,maybe see your children, go to work with toxic coworkers, come home to maybe some cooked dinner because your woman also has to work, see your children for a while, and that's it. And repeat because you have to pay off mortgage, car loans, student loans, insurance, and your kids future college tuition. It's a lifeless lifestyle because it's a competitive lifestyle whether it's with your neighbors or coworkers.
It's the same in Canada and a lot of other places
So basically if you were raised right, you'll have nothing to worry about.
I'm a from Denmark, wishing to have a year free after I finish up my education in the Us. I must tell ya that wow, Danish politics is so much more different then in the united states.
what part of the us?
Wait, do you mean leave the US or just a skip year? Btw, I hope you had a nice time here!
@@blancavelasquez9859 Florida :)
@@hinklefamily1831 I have not been to the Us before, but I would love to go for a skip year
@@ssist01 ah ok, sorry, I misunderstood! Well, things are hectic over here, but when things are safer I'm sure you'll love it!
Fascinating, and I am an Australian.
I’m from the United States California and I’m just watching videos of peoples experiences of the country 😉
Hi Ava
Thank you!
I’ve learned a lot. Thank you!
Jackie, unless you were in a major city, or you are in the Conservative Party in Canada, Texas wasn't the best example. A better place would be a blue city in a blue state, such as here in the San Francisco Bay Area. We agree with Canada (and the EU) on pretty much everything here. 🙂
One of the things I believe other countries do better then the USA is value life. she mentioned the crazy competition for jobs or universities. In other countries people value experiences over careers or jobs making it healthier. Another thing is feeling safe, I felt a lot safer in Europe when it comes to crime or law enforcement.
That depends on where you are. I fell a lot safer in the US then in certain parts of Europe
dude u have been to any Asian countries. there's cut throat competition
There is huge job competition in Canada as well.
@@socomxx competition is everywhere, but there's a line where the value of healthy competition is just of the window. as an American myself, I found the competition toxic and makes me believe that there's no point for effort because people less qualified would get picked about people with actual development or preparation.
Is Canada more of a “comfortable” place to live in than the US?
Tbh kinda the same..? It depends on what you mean by comfortable
No. It depends on where you live and what kind of lifestyle you live.
In economic terms, it depends on if your income level. If you're a low or middle income guy you'd have it better in Canada, probably. Because of the health care system. If you're a high-earner - Making at least $100,000 - chances are you'll be better off in America. Because you'll have more career opportunities and less taxes.
@Ti Klim America still has tremendous opportunities, just not for people who can't make it to at least $70,000.
Me personally, I could probably make a killing if I were an American. But I guess it wasn't in my stars.
@Ti Klim I am an immigrant to another western country. Yeah, my parents pretty much stayed s--- their entire lives. I pursued a good career, so I didn't end up like that.
Lol, yes someone shouldve warned you about the first name thing. That's considered very offensive.
Welcome to America! And sorry about the politics. I know it can be overwhelming not know who it telling the truth.lol Our government went to shit
Why does everyone bash America then decides to move here?
I don't think it's their own decision...
College. It's college. And what would change spelling-wise aside from O to OU as in color/colour and ER to RE as in theater/theatre etc? I believe both are accepted anyway. As far as politics...there are a lot of people who THINK they know what's going on...and generally are more vocal about it, regardless of how well informed they are. There's probably much more discussion about it here since there are countless tv channels, youtube channels etc that are non-stop, 100% dedicated to US politics.
In Canada, especially Ontario and Quebec, "college" usually refers to prep school. "University" is where you study for a degree.
@billpike-cn5pz Do you use the term high school?
@
I'm American. I grew up in Canada. Yes, Canadians use the term high school.
Think of "college" in Canada the way in the US we often use "academy," like Philips Exeter Academy where presidents and business leaders went before going to schools like Harvard and Yale.
@@billpike-cn5pz So is it a 2 year school... like Junior and Senior years of high school, or all 4 years (grade 9-12)? Btw..my high school was called "Institute", but it was still just a regular high school. There is a nearby school called "Academy" but it also includes "Jr. High School" (Grades 6-8), so I'm not sure how official any of the these designations are.
I know in Europe their grade/age system is quite different.
Thanks Jackie. My son was born in Houston but currently we are living in Canada. I am wondering if we need to move back to Houston for my son’s university in US in the future. What do you think? Which option is better for my son’s future opportunities by going to Canadian university or American university? Thanks for your opinion.
My opinion as a parent of two 30+ year old adults is if you decide on an education in the US, do not go deep into debt for it. The best way is to decide which state is best for you, learn their requirements to qualify for in-state tuition, and then do what you need to do to get that. Texas has many good state universities to choose from, many opportunities for employment, and a relatively low cost of living, so that may be a good choice.
Many years ago I wrote an essay which included that schoolchildren in the western world
ought to be taught the history of politics using the acclaimed work of the late Karl Popper.
One of the very best objectively social scientists of the last century.
Using his two volume paperback called "The Open Society and its Enemies.." We need-
understand-where our societies Are Going if each one of us are to reasonably and
critically understand current emergent politics ; and the left or right main roadmaps
so to speak. So get reading even If Not a current student.
Your video is so interesting and many of things you say are true, oh by the way here in AZ we could call our teacher by her/his first name, very informally and very cool, I really didn't get why you had this issue in TX, I have been there and it didn't seem so different, mah interesting. But other than that YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND ELEGANT.
Don't be so embarrassed. You have an explanation for your English and cultural differences. Born Americans do embarrassing things on the daily and completely brush it off, like turn in papers rife with evidence of their illiteracy. That you are so easily embarrassed is one of your cultural differences. Just say "Sorry, I'm from Canada" and you'll probably be met with a chorus of "Oh, Sorry"s.
We need to seal our northern border as well.
That's adorable. "The job market in America is competitive". The way we see it is that we compete against the world! We are not raised to believe that, it's inherent.
Had known. Four things I wish I had known.
I moved to California from Canada. I would never live anywhere else in the US, except maybe Hawaii. Never would I live in Texas. Nope. California doesn't have the sir/ma'am culture either.
i was in california i love it
We have to compete
There’s a joke that comes painfully close to reality: A Canadian is an American without a gun and with health insurance. BTW I’m an American with two Canadian grandparents. I grew up in New York State a few miles from the Ontario border.
@@GossAug In the 1950s my family drove across the border from Buffalo to buy fireworks (cherry bombs and M80s) that were illegal in New York State. We smuggled them back across the border. How things have changed in 65+ years! Nowadays as a Californian I’d just like to visit some friends in Vancouver. I promise I won’t misbehave.
Love this! Just sent you a message over LinkedIn :)
I wish you knew about the third conditional.
in California, do not refer to people as maam or sir. They are way too formal and maam is archaic to us. A professor you would refer to as prof, dr, mr, or ms with their LAST name. You do not use their 1st name.
We don’t use metric or do we care about it
We wont survive if we dont
To go to school at your age is so insane here in u.s. for the first 170 years we only went to school until 13 then for a political reason we changed it but I've seen what they were learning at 13 and no collage graduate could pass any of it
so i wouldnt expect you to know about our stuff but i would like think your stuff was cool ... we know some about your stuff like the queen ya know its like Texas is with Mexico very close same MIchigan is with Canada so i only real feel ya on the polical front everthing els you brough up is texas being a weirdo not you lol but its pretty cool you notice the people their are like not into hellos and goodbuys its like it turns off when i think that your not from their at first and soon as you finally warm up to um their awsome and want you to stay their forever where up north ya know ya gotta wish people their best on getting to warmer weather and when your around other alright people you enjoy um to fullist no making sure their cool are ya know just people are a bit more important to the big picture up north honestly it got be pretty bumed at first the meeting people shit like im a sigma personality so i dont really need people but i have been charismatic and yeah im just saying if you added being from another country being in college a girl college or guy i might have droped a tear over the home sickness but the people i ended up meeting their really trustworthy people just easy going healthy people compared to myself i aint a bad deal i get texas sick i think you might to when its said and done i think you will kinda like it
Hi I am Ahmed from TikTok......what’s up?
Hi Ahmed! Yesss, Tik Tok gang 😁 🥰
Call a teacher by their first name? Hell no.
The uptalking was hard to listen to.

U can't say ehh anymore
I wish I was born in America, its the greatest country you can count on.
It's in debt...
@@drakirolopez7859 still better than a country that forces free medical care even when you deny it
Lol America is a toilet.
That's right. I've made it my life goal to move there. Hopefully, I'll be successful
Stay out of the South please.
Don't listen to it. Crash the south, it needs better people.
I’m Arab and I wanna move there when I’m older trump might of ruined it but I still love the country
Well if u follow politics ud want trump but hey ur not here.
@@toblerone3202 he lost. haha
Hi! We'd love to have ya! With the new administration and hopefully covid winding down you should be able to come over with ease! I moved from Europe to the US and I don't regret it! I'd recommend personally just doing research on what state you'd like to live in and to get health insurance
@@evooevoo6062 no USA lost haha
