    When I was a semi truck driver, I went through Canada many times. One thing I noticed is the people were more friendly than the US. I became lost while driving my semi truck, and people were helpful in finding my way around.
    If I was younger I would certainly consider moving to Canada.

      The USA and Canada are not that different. We have only 15% the population of the USA, and so there are fewer of us fighting over resources, making us more friendly and conservative...but increase our numbers to those of the USA and you will find the level of aggression increases with population.
      We are not all fighting over the limited resources available, water is in abundance but take that away and we would be just as violent as anyone else forced to live where choices are few and resources limited

    I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and we love to have visitors and newcomers from around the world ❤. One thing we’ve noticed about visitors is that they are often unprepared for 1) cold winter weather and 2) the vastness of the country. Travelling around inside Canada can mean great distances! If you’re in Toronto, don’t expect to take a drive to Calgary for lunch. That’s comparable to driving from Moscow to Barcelona 😆

      You mention not being prepared for the cold winters here, during the 88 Olympics in Calgary the Jamaican bobsledding team came here totally unprepared. I don't even think they had coats at least if the movie 'Cool Runnings' is correct in that.

    Great advice Yulia! Make sure the weather you check is for the part of Canada you're travelling to though. It's a big country with completely different weather in each area. The electrical adapters for equipment you plan to bring is a good idea. However note that the voltage used in Canada is 110 vs the 220 volts in most of Europe. So your equipment from home that uses high voltage (kettles etc) will likely not work properly here and you will need to purchase replacements.

    I'm born Canadian. My family on my dad's side has been in Toronto for over 200 years (mom's only 95 years). I've never lived abroad but I've travelled the world extensively (370 cities, across 40 countries and counting). I love finding out about the places I visit, and love learning about other cultures. My wife is an immigrant and my grade school daughter is bi-cultural and speaks 3 languages fluently, plus one passable. This experience has always made me curious about what others think of Canada, especially those that come to live here for a time or permanently. I've watched at least a dozen UA-camr channels on the new comer experience. Yulia, yours is one of the best. Snappy delivery and practical advise, with an eyes wide open point of view. I agree with other commenters about store openings and distances. My brother-in-law once wanted to visit the Yukon, while visiting us on a week long visit. I advised that was not possible... with normal travel methods. Nonetheless, kudos Yulia! I'll check out a few more of your posts. I've liked and subscribed.

    Stores usually only close as early as 5pm on Sundays! The rest of the days of the week the earliest I've seen things close is like 6pm if it's a family business or something, but most big businesses stay open until at least 7pm so that people who get off of work can still come and get anything they need :) at least here in Ontario

    There's a thing about shopping malls and stores. Not every province or city will have the same time opening or closing. You'll have to go online and check operational hours. Where you are, maybe everything closes at 5pm. Here in Winnipeg, some malls open at 8am and some at 9am. Then there's week operational hours. Monday to Wednesday even occasionally Thursday, most malls close at 6:00pm where I am. Occasionally Thursday or Friday to Saturday (due to those days being heavy shopping days, also with people getting paid on Thursdays & Fridays) most malls close at 9pm, or occasionally 10pm. Sundays always has the least operational hours. between 10am or 12 noon, to 5, or 6pm

      That's right. Here in BC, major malls are open until 9pm typically on Wed-Fri and sometimes Sat (but some things close early on Sat night). Other days they're open until 6 or 7. Large stores like Ikea are open until 9pm most nights except for Sunday and sometimes Saturday. But this advice is good: check before you head out!

    Living in Quebec does not required absolutely to speak french as long as you choose Montreal or close area. You can work english only and also get many choices of english schools. there is big pressure from a portion of the population to protect french, this is why Quebec government is pushing in that direction. In reality a big portion of the population does not care so much, they decided to be bilingual because it was the best choice in actual situation. This said I highly recommend to learn french if you decide to live here, it will just be easier on long term and it is a mark of respect to the local population. If you just visit you still welcome even if you do not speak a french word, population in contact with tourists (even outside of Montreal) normally speak english just enough good to get a nice experience.

    • @kyonshi77
      @kyonshi77 Рік тому

      Montréal is more flexible for the language at work because of several managers who dont have much respect about the french aspect of the city (the Montréal charter's first article states that its a french-speaking city) and the province...
      You're right, there's pressure from a major part of the population to enforce the use and respect of french but its nothing that, its also the very own governmental initiative of the provincial leaders. Its far from being accurate to say that a large part of the population doesnt care and decided to be bilingual. A wider portion of the people living here do care about the french aspect of the province. Most people knows english or a basic form of it, but that doesnt mean they live in bilinguality all the time. I am biligual in terms of technicalities, like for commenting on UA-cam :), but i live my life in french at 99.9%. For tourism, we can all serve and help visitors in english if they desire so.
      You're kinda misleading and contradictory when you say early on that its not required to speak french to live in Québec, and couple of lines later, that you strongly recommend of learning it to live here. The best idea would be to just learn it and making effort in regard to its usage. Like you said, its a mark of respect for the population of the province and its heritage, it can only be good.

    You forgot to mention tipping. There are lots of services you are expected to provide a tip for. If you by a meal for $20, you will be paying $26 or $27 by the time you add the tax and a 15% to 20% tip. Gets quite shocking when you pick up the tab for an expensive meal!

    • @timmytwister6397

      Yes. Like America, Canada’s servers typically make minimum wage so they rely on tips to make a reasonable living. However the minimum wage tends to be higher here than in the US, so perhaps they don’t rely on tips quite as much.

    Not all malls close at 5pm especially not grocery stores. I've lived in many different provinces and currently live in Edmonton and I've visited many malls that close at 9pm from Monday to Friday with reduced hours during the weekend. Many malls drastically cut their hours during the pandemic but they should be back to their usual hours now. Maybe in smaller towns but I've never seen a mall close at 5pm unless it's a weekend or a holiday.

    Hey Yulia, pretty cool video, and I love your attitude towards Canada. There are a few other important things for foreigners to know. You said check the weather. Absolutely correct - but make sure it is the weather at your destination!! Canada is HUGE! Not quite as big a Russia, of course, but weather in Halifax is not the same as Toronto, or Montreal. Calgary and Vancouver have very different climates. There are over 7000 km of road between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific, so check the weather in the place you are going to be visiting.
    Also, your point on store hours is good, too. Here in Calgary all the big malls are open late on Thursday, and Friday. Of course at this time of year they are open late every day.
    We have had many visitors come to see us in Alberta, and they want to take a weekend drive to Toronto or Montreal!!!! That is NOT POSSIBLE!! It takes about 3 days to drive EACH way, and to see anything of those places you need at least a few days there.
    Maybe your next video can include ‘must see’ places from across the country. I hope you have the chance to go to the Bay of Fundy, Vancouver Island, the Calgary Stampede, Banff and Jasper, Vancouver’s Chinatown, and Prince Edward Island.
    Maybe someday, I will get the chance to visit Russia!! I know it is bigger than Canada. What do you think are the ‘must see’ places there? I know I would want to see the Winter Palace, the Black Sea beaches, Lake Urial, and the Red Square in Moscow.
