Canada Introduction
Canada has a population just less than 30 million people in a country twice the area of the United States. The heritage of Canada was French and English; however, significant immigration from Asia and Europe's non-French and English countries has broadened Canada's cultural richness. This cultural diversity is considered a national asset, and the Constitution Act prohibits discrimination against individual citizens on the basis of race, color, religion, or sex. The great majority of Canadians are Christian. Although the predominant language in Canada is English, there are at least three varieties of French that are recognized: Quebecois in Quebec, Franco-Manitoban throughout Manitoba and particularly in the St. Boniface area of Winnipeg, and Acadian. The Italian language is a strong third due to a great influx of Italian immigrants following W.W.II. Canada's three major cities are distinctively, even fiercely different from one another even though each is a commercially thriving metropolitan center. Montreal, established in the 17th century and the largest French city outside France, has a strong influence of French architecture and culture. It is a financial and manufacturing center
and seaport, with the majority of Canada's European exports and imports coming through its harbor. Toronto, another major financial and commercial center, is filled with office towers not historic buildings. It has a great number of people living in and around the central business district. The downtown district does not "close up" when people leave work. Vancouver, nestled at the base of the Coast Mountains, is the financial, commercial, agricultural, and industrial center for western Canada. It's harbor and mountains make it one of Canada's most picturesque. Consequently, West Vancouver is the most densely populated urban area and has the highest income per person of any municipality.
Canada Fun Fact
The western frontier was "opened" in 1885 when the Canadian transcontinental railroad completed its peaceful construction process. The railroad offered cheap land so immigrants moved in communities establishing towns with citizens from the same European country. These settlements, along with the Inuit communities, give Canada cultural diversity across its nation, not just in major metropolitan cities. Keep in mind that Quebec, because it is a French province, has a very
different value system from the rest of Canada, with its predominately English influence.
Geert Hofstede Analysis for Canada
The majority of Canadians, as well as citizens of other English speaking countries, (see Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States) have individualism ranked highest. Success is measure by personal achievement. Canadians tend to be self-confident and open to discussions on general topics; however, they hold their personal privacy off limits to all but the closest friends. It should be noted there is tension between the French province of Quebec and other Canadian provinces. Citizens of Quebec tend to be more private and reserved. Ethnocentrism is high throughout Canada, but particularly in Quebec.
Canada has Individualism (IDV) as the highest ranking (80) Hofstede Dimension, and is indicative of a society with a more individualistic attitude and relatively loose bonds with others. The populace is more self-reliant and looks out for themselves and their close family members. Privacy is considered the cultural norm and attempts at personal ingratiating may meet with rebuff.
The majority of Canadians, as well as citizens of
other English speaking countries, (see United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and the United States) have Individualism as their highest ranking Dimension.
Among high IDV countries, success is measured by personal achievement. Canadians tend to be self-confident and open to discussions on general topics; however, they hold their personal privacy off limits to all but the closest friends .
Canadian's lowest ranking Dimension is Long Term Orientation at 23, compared to the average of 45 among the 23 countries surveyed for which scores have been calculated. This low LTO ranking is indicative of societies' belief in meeting its obligations and tends to reflect an appreciation for cultural traditions.
Canada's Power Distance (PDI) is relatively low, with an index of 39, compared to a world average of 55. This is indicative of a greater equality between societal levels, including government, organizations, and even within families. This orientation reinforces a cooperative interaction across power levels and creates a more stable cultural environment.
It should be noted there is tension between the French province of Quebec and other Canadian
provinces. Citizens of Quebec tend to be more private and reserved. Ethnocentrism is high throughout Canada, but particularly in Quebec. This may be in part due to the difference in religious background of the French population, predominately Catholic, and the English population, predominantly Christian.
The predominant religions in Canada are Catholic 42% and Christian 40%, but the population is somewhat segregated, with a high percentage of French Catholic's in Quebec. Note that the predominant religion in France is Catholic (83%) and in the United Kingdom is Christian (70%).
Appearance in Canada
Plan for a very cold climate, especially during their winter.
Men should wear a dark conservative business suit with tie, especially in cities. Build a wardrobe based on classic lines (selecting suits with a traditional lapel width, and ties staying within a traditional width range). Conservative colors of navy and gray, and shirts in white and light blue.
Women should wear a conservative business suit or dress, especially in cities. Select your
clothing with classic lines and colors in mind. Navy, gray, ivory, and white are the basics to work with. The major cities can be very sophisticated.
New or trendy clothing is a poor choice. Older, classic clothing that is clean and neat is more valued. Choosing quality, natural fibers for your wardrobe will give you this look. Quality leather shoes are important to completing this look.
Rural areas are less formal, but stay conservative in your wardrobe. Even with cold winter weather you may find yourself in a skirt or dress. Add a good quality long coat with minimal and classic detail to your wardrobe. In addition to navy and gray, a classic camel coat, or a lined Burberry may be a good addition. This will work for a sophisticated city meeting, or a more casual rural meeting.
Casual attire is appropriate when you are not working. The weather and activity will dictate what you will be wearing. Build a casual wardrobe using the classic colors (camel is additional color for casual). You will look professional, even though relaxed.
The "V for Victory" sign is an insult if your palm is facing yourself. If you must use this sign, face your palm outward.
Behavior in Canada
Be punctual for meetings and appointments, as promptness is valued. In French areas, time is more relaxed. However, you will be expected to arrive at the appointed time, even if the French attending the meeting don't.
Always maintain a reserved demeanor, and follow good rules of etiquette. Traditions and gracious manners are part of the culture, even in more rural areas. If you travel to different cities or areas, pay attention to local customs. By being observant, you will respect the pace and nuances of each area.
Do not eat while walking in public. Plan your time so you can stop in a café or restaurant to enjoy your snack.
Gifts are not routinely given. If you do give a gift when you arrive or when you are leaving, make it a modest one. A lavish gift, though accepted, would be frowned upon.
Gifts are given to celebrate finalizing a negotiation, a contract, or a project. Gifts for the office, a nice bottle of wine or liquor would be appropriate.
Taking a business associate to a nice meal or an evening sporting event, play, or symphony is always a nice gesture.
Invitations to private homes are rare. Occasionally, in the western provinces, you may be invited to someone's home. If you are invited, you may take candy, flowers, or liquor to the host or hostess.
Wait for your host to start a business conversation during or following a meal. Traditionally, business is not discussed during dinner; however, this is slowly changing.
Personal space and body movement or gestures differ between the English and the French provinces and cities. In English areas, body movement is minimal, there is rarely touching other than handshakes, and personal space - how close someone stands - is about two feet. In French areas, people stand closer together,
people will frequently touch, and gestures are more expressive.
Communications in Canada
Use a firm handshake with good eye contact when meeting and leaving. Both French and English areas use and expect a firm handshake.
Men will wait for a woman to extend her hand for a handshake.
French Canadians will shake hands more frequently, even with a subsequent encounter the same day. Others may just nod or smile at a subsequent encounter on the same day.
Use a person's title if he or she has one. Otherwise, use Mr., Mrs., Miss and the surname.
English is spoken in most of Canada. French is spoken in Quebec, and some area of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
French Canadians may use their first name when talking to you on the telephone, but will generally use their full name when meeting you in person.
Be open and friendly in your conversation. If you
are naturally reserved in your behavior, you will appear confident and credible. If your natural tendency is large sweeping arm gestures, restrain yourself when meeting and talking with Canadians
- other than with French Canadians.
French Canadians stand closer and are more demonstrative when talking.
For French Canadians, print all material in French and English.
Don't be boastful, and don't overstate your
product or service's capabilities. You could
implicate your company in a legal situation.
If you are from the U. S., don't say, "we Americans", inferring you are including your Canadian hosts or guests in your reference.
Canada is a distinct country with its own
wonderful history and culture.
AFTER YOU ARRIVE
Once you arrive in Canada, it's a great idea to get involved in your new community right away, even before you feel the possible effects of home-sickness. Your new school will likely have activities and programs for international students, as well as opportunities to talk with both peers and counsellors about any problems or concerns you might have.
It's also a good idea to get involved with other activities on campus, and to make friends with Canadian students. Most schools have clubs, recreational
sports or other activities and organizations available for students to join, including film clubs, running clubs or musical groups and organizations. There are also independent immigrant associations in most cities aimed at helping new arrivals to Canada settle in. Your university or local Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) office will be able to give you a list of such societies and associations. All of these organizations and activities provide the opportunity to make friends and be better integrated into the community, reducing your chances of loneliness or isolation.
Be patient with yourself and with other people, and never be afraid to ask for help. Canadians in general are a friendly, open people and are happy to help you feel more welcome.

育空领地 育空领地是北部地区的一个多山的三角形地区，位于北纬60度以北，东面连接西北领地，西部紧临美国的阿拉斯加，北面为北冰洋，南面以北纬60度线与卑诗省接壤。 北部的高原地势起伏不平。西南地区的圣艾利亚斯山脉高度超过5,000米。洛根山5,959米的顶峰是加拿大的第一高峰。该领地的气候特点是：冬季白昼极短，干燥而且寒冷，一月及十月份的气温极低。夏季很短暂，既炎热又干燥，日照时间极长。 该区的主要城市为首府白马市，其次为道森市。 在育空领地的经济中，居最主要地位的是采矿业，盛产锌、黄金和铅，其次为贵重金属。领地第二笔收入来源是旅游业。 卑斯省 不列颠哥伦比亚省在加拿大华人社区中又被称为卑诗省，这一叫法源自于该省英方缩写B.C.的广东译音。 卑诗省的边界是：东面以西经120度线及洛基山为界，西临太平洋，南与美国为邻邦，北与育空领地接壤，西北面则到阿拉斯加为止。卑诗省地形主要受制于三座平行的南北走向的山脉，它们分别是东面的洛基山，中部的洛基山多河地带及西部的哥伦比亚山和卡西尔山。西海岸外的是查洛岛和温哥华岛。 沿海地带由于西风和太平洋暖风的影响，气候较为温和，冬季潮湿，夏季较热。内陆地带降雨量较小，气温变化大，甚至出现半干旱状态。北部的冬季漫长而且寒冷，夏季较短暂而且凉爽,降雨量中等。 温哥华岛上的维多利亚是省府所在地。位于西南面的温哥华市是全国的第三大都市和工业中心，人口130万，该市是太平洋岸最大的港口，港阔水深，冬天不封冻，位于通向亚洲最近的航线上，货物吞吐量居全国首位，加拿大的国际贸易博览会每年定期在此举行。该市的华人社区也是北美最大的华人社区之一。
卑诗省的经济以天然资源的开发为主，圆木、纸浆和纸是制造业的主要产品。其次为食品加工和冶金业。矿业资源包括煤、石油、铜和黄金。卑诗省的渔业主要出产鲑鱼。农产品有牛奶制品、牲畜、特种粮食植物和水果。 阿尔伯塔省 位于艾尔伯塔省南部，落基山脚下，是一座新兴的石油工业城市。石油工业和其也产业的蓬勃发展为这个城市带来了许多就业机会，景气的经济带来了人才济济的局面，现在卡城的工程师、科学家占城市总人口的比例是全国最高的。卡城教育发达。幼儿教育系统十分完备，许多大公司直接提供幼儿白天护理服务。卡城使用双语教学，尽管其人口的绝大多数说英语。卡城的卡尔加里大学是加拿大的有名的大学。埃德蒙顿是该省的省会。 萨斯喀彻温省（Saskatchewan） 萨斯喀彻温省（又名沙斯卡曲湾省），的地域近似于一块长方形，南北边界分别是北纬49度和北纬60度两条纬线，西面边界为西经110度线，东面边界也是一条直线；该省的四邻分别为：东面的马尼托巴省，西面的阿尔伯塔省，南面的美国和北面的西北领地。 萨斯喀彻温省是加拿大草原三省之一，以拥有一片片的金黄小麦田及一座座像在田边负起守卫任务的大型谷物仓库而著名，号称“加拿大面包篮子”；其南部为平原丘陵地带，萨省十三个主要城镇都集中在这一地区；北部则为大面积的沼泽地带，大小湖泊星罗棋布，泥炭资源丰富，目前正在发展森林面积；该省公园众多，面积达5百万英亩，被称为“万湖之省”，是来自各地的旅游者的好去处，里贾纳(Regina)是该省的省府。 萨斯喀彻温河流经全省，最后注入温尼别格湖。 该省的季节分明，夏季炎热，冬季寒冷，每年降雨量只有50厘米。 南部的城市里加纳为省府所在地，它与中部的沙斯卡通市共为该省的两大城市中心。 萨斯喀彻温省西北的阿萨巴斯喀湖北岸有铀矿，并建立了一个铀城。境内蕴藏有煤矿，有的埋的很浅，因离工业城市较远，所以未得到充分的开发。西南部蕴有丰富的石油和天然气。 本省北部平原的土地极为肥沃，农业尤其是粮食种植是该省的主要产业。该省是全国最大的产粮区，又是世界上最重要的磷酸钾供应地，燃料业与冶金业也在日益发展。
