1. Drive on the right. Canadian cars drive on the right, just like Chinese mainland.

2. Pedestrians walk on the right. Pedestrians have absolute right of way and cars must give way.

4. Child safety seat. Drivers and passengers (including the rear row) should use seat belts. Children weighing less than 60 pounds or under 6 years old should use suitable child seats and must sit in the back row.

5. Don't use the phone. You are not allowed to answer the phone or surf the internet with your mobile phone while driving, otherwise you will be fined 500 Canadian dollars.

6. Don't whistle. Most cities in Canada are not allowed to honk their horns. It is very impolite to urge other vehicles to honk their horns.

7. Provided by special vehicles. When driving on the road, as long as you hear an ambulance or police whistle, you must immediately lean to the right, stop quickly, and wait until the whistling vehicle passes.

8. Bring proof of insurance. Canadian traffic regulations stipulate that motor vehicle drivers must carry insurance certificates with them when driving.

9. Pay attention to the right of way. Canada attaches great importance to the right of way. Whoever has the right of way, whether there is a sign reminder or not, will have the priority right of way. The main rules of Canada's road rights are: turn to go straight, the auxiliary road to the main road, do not enter the roundabout, turn left and turn right (the traffic lights are subject to the traffic lights). Canadians strictly abide by the right-of-way awareness. When they have the right-of-way, they may drive very fast and will not observe the vehicles that have no right to drive out. Therefore, when they drive in Canada, they should keep in mind the awareness of road rights. In order to avoid accidents, they must pay attention to avoiding without road rights.

Corner convenience stores, coffee shops, restaurants, bars, laundries, clothing processing shops, immigration service companies, import and export trading companies, computer shops and various training schools are operated by new immigrants from the mainland in a relatively high proportion. Especially convenience stores and coffee shops on the corner are the first choice for new immigrants to do business. According to statistics, at least 40% of the owners of corner convenience stores in Toronto are new immigrants from the mainland.

In terms of average profit, there are four kinds of small businesses: corner convenience stores, bars, clothing processing shops and immigration service companies; However, the initial investment of bars and clothing processing companies is relatively large, and clothing processing shops also require operators to have certain professional knowledge. In addition, the market demand of corner convenience stores is relatively stable, and no additional business license approved by the government is needed.

The analysis mainly compares the average profit of ten kinds of small businesses, the amount of initial investment, the requirements for operators' professional knowledge, marketing ability, market demand, whether the right to operate needs special approval from the government, and whether it is better to start your own business or change hands. It turns out that the corner convenience store is in all kinds of small businesses.

Summary: corner convenience stores have small investment and good profitability, but the market development prospects are average; Coffee shop business is stable, but the investment is large; The restaurant business is unstable, but it has developed; Bars are profitable, but they need wine licenses to operate; Laundry and garment processing shops have good profits, but operators are required to have professional knowledge and experience; Immigration service companies and import and export trading companies do not need to invest too much money, but the market demand is unstable; Although computer shops and various training schools have good market prospects, their initial operation is very difficult.
