I've lived in the US and several other other European countries and now living in the UK and my favorite word is BC. No one minds it, no one understands it and it works like a charm. Use it anywhere and everywhere. Firangis have a slangs like we desi's do. If one wants to learn their slangs, hit a pub and spend 1 hour over there and you'll become a master of their slangs. #JustSaying
I have been following your channel for the last 2 years since we (my wife and me) decided to migrate to Canada. Kudos to you both. You both do an incredible job. There are a plethora of channels on UA-cam providing information on the travel and lifestyle of Canada, but you both stand out from the crowd. Looking ahead for more such content. Only one point I don't like (my personal preference can say :P), there are a lot of cuts in your video. While listening it makes me feel as if I missed out some point or the internet is lagging :D
It depends what province you’re in. I’m in Alberta outside the capital city Edmonton. Never have I seen bagged milk in Alberta or BC. I was born in Edmonton but I have friends who are immigrants.
As an Indian who came here at age 7 and now 30 years later now watching you guys is so great. You guys are doing an awesome job informing everyone of the realities of coming to Canada. You remind me of my parents who came here over 30yrs ago who struggled here and brought up 2 kids. Keep up the good work and providing good info
There is no hard and fast rule that you should say Torono.... Torono generally goes with the Canadian accent, with an Indian accent saying Torono sounds strange.
Chesterfield is a specific type of sofa which has its own unique features. for Example it's famous deep buttons upholstery engraved on the sofa......so calling Chesterfield to all sofas would be technically incorrect but in Canadian perspective,it seems that most Canadians prefer Chesterfield type of sofa....so they call sofas Chesterfield I guess
It makes be happy whenever I see your video. It is not only entertaining but informative and educative too👍Anybody watching all your videos will be confident settling in Canada
@@canadianjatti @canadianjatti I have been living in Toronto for more than 2 decades. I have heard white Canadians say that quite frequently. But I guess you are right. 😊👍🏻
I used to heard this word eh? from Nigerians. They use this in most of the sentences. For instance, if you ask them let us go to market to purchase a carpet. They will reply like, eh? man, you are up to carpet? i have it one extra at ma room... 😀😀
Recently started watching your channel by UA-cam recommendation. Both of you are intelligent and entertaining with beautiful names. Hermeet bhai your opinion on any thing is quite honest and sincere. .
Wow that was something! Kiwis have a huge amount of unique words. Sweet as, or sweet, (meaning great), cheers (sort of bye with thanks), togs (swimming costume), Ta (thanks), coffees are more specialised like flat white, laates, expresso, mochachino, cappachino, frappes, etc. Flat white is most NZ. It's coffee with milk, no froth. For people, Whites are pakeha, locals are Maories, rest are just immigrants. There are sooo many terms but these are the most common 😊.
An alcoholic is a common term used to refer to someone who has an addiction to alcohol and suffers from Alcohol Use Disorder. NOT someone who loves/buys/consumes alcohol. Drinking culture is quite common and people are open about consuming and enjoying alcohol as a recreational activity in the west. I don’t think anyone who buys a two four would appreciate being called an alcoholic.
Honestly, it doesn't matter what accent you have in Toronto because it's so cosmopolitan and diverse. As long as you can speak clear English, people won't even notice your accent, they'll still believe if you say you moved there when you were a kid because everyone is used to hearing so many different languages and accents growing up in Toronto. Maybe if you go to northern Ontario you'll stand out more but not in Toronto. Toronto is like NYC, London or Sydney where the locals are so desensitized to hearing other accents and languages that even foreigners are considered locals in those types of cities.
I believe 2 loonies is not called as toonies instead 2$ coin is called as a toonie and 1$ as loonie. For e.g. if you go to bank and ask for 1 roll of toonie you get a roll of 25 coins which is of 2$.
Mam. My wife doesn't miss your any single video. She loves your vlogs. Our Canada PR application is under process. Neither we do have friends nor relatives in Canada. We will be need both of your help before as well as after landing to Canada. Hope we will meet soon.
Excellent video (as usual). Last week you had uploaded a video about the banking system in Canada. Just to let you know that Bank of Montreal is called BEEMO and not B.M.O. Keep up the good work guys. Love your videos.
You guys are just lovely ... ( just to take your videos to another level.... a small suggestion while editing videos...you can add funny bloopers within that scene... to give it a more realistic feel... and of-course adds a bit of drama and humorous character to the story... ). Cheers guys .. keep up your amazing efforts ...
Hi I want to know that I'm having experience of 32 months in one Noc then I left job and did my full time MBA and having 6 months experience in another noc. First NOC was from skill A and later is from skill B. Will I get full marks for 3 years of foreign experience? Thank you

Your all vedios are very nice 👍🏻. But , I have a question? Sir Which English is speaking in Canada. Options is 1) American English & this also says in india 2) British English. Can we comes in canda by American English. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Please give me only 2 minutes. Please, for my future. Please 🙏🙏.
Thanks, friends for this amazing video. When I heard Freshie, I thought it was related to 'acting fresh'. Double Double is 'heavy'. Loonie is rather cute. Zed made me feel a bit safe, as that’s what we say. I'm Ninad Bhatkar, 48, single, an ex-content writer, now a Private Spoken English and Creative writing Tutor, PD Trainer from Mumbai, India, on the way to becoming a 'udemy' Counselor, and thinking of trying for a PR. Given my age, I think the best option is to find a job as a Tutor / Counselor in Canada. What do you think?
Just to mention here in Canada when you say Indian its not us its Natives or Indigenous people. We Indians are called Indians all over the world but here we are referred as East Indians. It annoys me but it is what it is.
Hello Guys, it’s always good to watch your videos, have a question here to ask. I’m a U.K. citizen from last 14 years and wanted to understand more about Canada, if I plan to move out there. So is there any way to contact any of you, if there is any possibility??? Cheers!

I guess milk is sold in bags only in Ontario and Quebec. In other provinces it is sold in jugs only...
I like the torano one I and my family are in calgary thank you for telling us these words.

many of these are regional since you are out east. In west we say backback and often use the words bathroom as well as washroom.
It's been pleasure to be with the channel and to learn many interesting things
Was this helpful?
Yes thank you very much ❤️
Alot
Yes bro .. very informative whatever i seen about canada about locals commonly used english language .
yes
In US milk comes in plastic can/carton so much easier to use. I even didn't know about some of these words. good one :)
25 years back , we had milk in glass bottles. We still have it available .
I live in Canada, and never in my life i've seen a Milk in bag. Because it only exists in Quebec and Ontario.
It depends what province you’re in. I’m in Alberta outside the capital city Edmonton. Never have I seen bagged milk in Alberta or BC.
I was born in Edmonton but I have friends who are immigrants.
@@ninjaweretiger4273 aye! Edmonton gang! I've litterally not seen a bag milk anywhere here in Alberta

There is an actual furniture franchise known as Chesterfield which is very popular for high quality furniture.

Hello Canada Couple. Here's one more:
Grocery, for some reason is pronounced Groshary (ग्रोशरी) in slang Canadian English.
lol the only people that pronounce it that way are freshies. It is always pronounced correct by most Canadians.
@@canadianjatti @canadianjatti I have been living in Toronto for more than 2 decades. I have heard white Canadians say that quite frequently. But I guess you are right. 😊👍🏻

I think it's from the UK. Mostly Scotland I guess, since my cousins who were born and raised there say that people use it quite commonly.
@@countroshculla it's from yoruba lol, we say eh all the time
