Bakery immigrants in Canada

When you immigrated to Canada, did you feel a little out of step with the Canadian lifestyle? Don't worry, I'll summarize some common sense notes of Canadian life for you. I hope it can help your immigrant life and make your life more harmonious!

1, order your favorite coffee.

Options: original flavor (mild), deep baking (strong flavor of deep baking), decaffeinated (decaffeinated)

Cup size: small, medium, large and extra large.

Blending coffee: cream (cream) and sugar (milk), usually one serving, two serving/double serving and three serving/triple serving represent one serving; Double Double stands for double sugar and double cream.

Example: A medium coffee with one part cream and one part sugar (a medium coffee with one part cream and one part sugar).

2. Pay attention to garbage classification

Green trash can (food waste): fruits, skins, vegetables, coffee grounds and tea grounds are all 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.

3. Observe the roadside stop signs.

Observe the corresponding road signs on the roadside? Can I park the car?

The icon on the left in the above picture indicates that it cannot be stopped, or even temporarily stopped; If the icon on the left shows: 7: 00 am? 9:30 am from Monday to Friday, which means that it can't stop from 7: 00 am to 9: 30 am from Monday to Friday.

The icon on the right in the above picture indicates that you can park. If 2h, 9: 30am-6: 00pm and Monday to Saturday are displayed under the icon on the right, does this mean that the parking condition can be Monday? Saturday morning at 9: 30? At 6:00 pm, the duration should not exceed two hours. Similarly, you can't park for the rest of the week.

4. Return instructions

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.

5, the proportion of tips

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%

(Tips fluctuate according to service level, objective situation and guest satisfaction. )

The above is what I summarized for you, which can make your Canadian immigrant life simpler and more harmonious.
