STUDYING IN CANADA
In its vastness, Canada ranks as the world’s second largest country (after Russia). Yet 90% of its citizens live within 100 miles of Canada’s southern border, which abuts the United States. Canada, after all, stretches far into the Arctic, with winters everywhere that are long, dark and harsh—and they get worse the farther north you go. This is why 89% of Canada remains uninhabited, with more than half the land covered by forests. Nonetheless, Canadians have a standard of living comparable to that of the United States, and though Canada’s lifestyle at first glance seems similar to its neighbor’s, in fact, Canadian culture is less brash. The country offers a friendly but reserved mosaic of heritages that includes British stolidity, French vivacity, native Inuit customs and even Chinese traditions, especially in Vancouver, which has the largest Chinese population of any city outside Asia. Canadians patiently tolerate this lively social jumble, especially because all of its cultures share a passion for ice hockey.
School
Canadian schools have a free school system controlled provincially, so regulations vary considerably. In nine of the 10 provinces and in the northern territories, students attend high school until Grade 12. In Québec, the high school system finishes at grade 11. You will be placed in grade 11 or 12. Schools start at 8:30 or 9:00 a.m. and end at 3:30 or 4:00 p.m.
LIVING IN CANADA
Lifestyle and Family Living
Canadian people are often described as well-mannered, polite, friendly, honest and tolerant. While they are very proud to be Canadian, they are a pluralistic society that holds great respect for the many cultures that make up their country.
Dress and Appearance
Canadian students tend to dress casually. They like to wear jeans, T-shirts and sweatshirts. Other important items to bring include a raincoat for summer, slippers and hiking boots. On special occasions, more formal dress is expected: for women a dress or blouse and skirt; for men a jacket and tie. You will also need warm clothes, including a woolen hat, gloves, scarf, heavy jacket and warm, waterproof shoes or boots as Canadian winters are harsh.
