How to integrate into Canadian immigrant life?

A stable political environment ensures the life of immigrants.

Canada, as one of the Commonwealth countries, has a very stable life here and will not face the Middle East. Although Canada, like the United States, can carry guns freely, the probability of shooting in Canada is much lower than that in the United States. This is because Canada, with a small population, has strict gun control measures to avoid shooting incidents as much as possible. Numerous immigrants apply to immigrate to Canada every year, and the stable political environment provides an immigrant living environment for overseas people.

Eight safety measures after immigrating to Canada

A stable political environment provides a quality life for overseas people, and Canada with beautiful scenery is a livable paradise. Immigration applicants living in Canada should always remember the principle of safety first.

1. Consultation before using domestic driver's license: Overseas people can use domestic driver's license, but they must consult the relevant transportation departments before driving in Canada, otherwise it will easily violate Canadian traffic regulations; Similarly, smoking is not allowed in public places in Canada;

2. You need to tip when you eat or travel: If you live in Canada, you need to tip when you eat or take a bus, which is generally15%;

3. Pay attention to prevent Canada's strong ultraviolet rays from changing rapidly: living in Canada, if you remember to bring clothes when you travel, the weather in Canada will suddenly change, and strong ultraviolet rays will easily make people unbearable. Therefore, it is important to remember to bring the necessary clothes when you go out;

4. Understand the emergency measures in case of emergency: If overseas people encounter sudden crimes, traffic accidents, gas leaks and other emergencies in Canada, they should understand the necessary emergency measures;

5. Avoid being alone with suspicious strangers: Immigrants will always meet many people in Canada. At this time, they should deliberately wear colored glasses and try to avoid being alone with suspicious people;

6. When sharing a room, choose a familiar roommate: at the beginning of immigration, overseas people may choose to rent a house in Canada. When sharing, try to choose a familiar roommate with good personality;

7. When walking on the road, you should watch the traffic lights to cross the road: Unlike the roads in China, when Canadian immigrants cross the road, some intersections have buttons to cross the road. Usually, traffic lights are always in a red no-go state. If you want to cross the road at this time, you need to press the button and wait until the signal light changes from red to green before you can cross the road.

8. Don't travel alone at night: If you have something important to travel, you need to be accompanied by a companion or walk on a bright street.

When I first immigrated to Canada, many people were unfamiliar with the environment. Later, they tried to integrate into the new environment in various ways and make new friends as soon as possible. In this process, it is not excluded that some people with ulterior motives will try to get close to the new immigrants. On the surface, in fact, they have other plans. No matter what new immigrants do, they should be vigilant, keep in touch with their families and ensure their personal safety.

Matters needing attention in life

There is a doorway to garbage sorting.

Green trash can (food waste): all fruits, peels, vegetables, coffee grounds and tea grounds are put into green organic bins.

Blue trash can (all recyclable items): excluding light bulbs and glass cups.

Black trash can (applicable to all non-recyclable garbage): coffee cups are not recyclable and should be put in the trash can.

Personally look at provinces and cities.

Return goods with receipt

You may have heard that it is very common to exchange goods in Canada. However, there are still some tips to pay attention to: generally, you need to provide the receipt when you return the goods. Some special goods are not allowed to be returned after opening. Most stores will allow returns within 30 days, and some stores will have shorter or longer return periods. If the receipt cannot be found, it may not be returned; However, in this case, some stores will still convert commodity prices into store-specific gift cards.

It should be noted that: remember to read the return policy on the back of the receipt carefully before each return.

Don't leave a tip.

In Canada, the service industry generally tips to show respect for the work of waiters. I found some tips from several representative industries for reference:

Restaurants and bars: 10%- 15%

Barber shop: 10%-20%

Maintenance worker or porter: $65,438+$00-$20

Takeaway tip: 10% or at least $2.

Taxi: 15%
