    My relatives moved to Canada in 1890 and I still watch your videos to learn how to live here. LOL

    There are credit unions in Canada. If you want to avoid the fees from banks, credit unions tend to not have those sneaky charges. I've kept my money in US credit unions for decades, and I've only once had to complain about a surprise fee. And there are no monthly charges.
    10/10 I would find a credit union near you and review their policies. Almost certainly better than a bank!

    love the tips that you girls covered in this video :D i live in toronto and i can attest to all of these points, just cut back on unnecessary fees, be cognizant of what you're being charged, and always negotiate if you can

    I always check my receipt. Most of the time, the bill will be correct, but once in awhile I'll just get a string of wrong prices and errors. It's very strange how rare it happens, but when it does happen to me, it usually happens multiple times a week across different stores.

    Hi there! Thanks for the content! Canada is one of the spots I consider for my relocation in a few years, and your channel has been quite useful, thank you! I was wondering, how is the pc culture out there, and how does it affect your life? I do like the country a lot, but it seems to me, in the western countries nowadays it's a huge thing, and basically, you should keep your mouth shut unless you agree with the main agenda, which is exactly why I feel like I want to leave my country - lack of freedom, luck of democracy. So, basically, do you see this trend of being absolutely politically correct, supporting kids "rights" of changing their gender early, hardcore eco-activism, hardcore feminism, hardcore white shaming more as a positive impact on your life, or a negative? Or, perhaps, its just the internet, and you don't even see those aspects in your daily life? For instance, when I worked in states, I got a harassment training for not allowing my female staff to carry heavy bag, and she complained, while I just wanted to help.

    • @aminettay
      @aminettay Před 2 lety +2

      I mean, I totally support equal rights for everyone, but from what I see in the news and on the internet, it looks like this goes to some extreme level right now. Or is it just the media?

    Снимите пожалуйста видео, как вы учили английский и если еще выучили французский для Канады и это второй иностранный язык то и про это тоже думаю многим будет интересно. У вас хорошее беглое произношение, как можно добиться такого если на данный момент живешь не в англоязычной стране? И второе как лучше учить второй иностранный язык, параллельно с первым или после достижения какого-то уровня в первом и лучше их не смешивать вначале? Спасибо!

    • @MakeThatChange
      @MakeThatChange  Před 2 lety +1

      Хорошая идея, спасибо, снимем! Мы обе учили английский с детства в школе. Анастасия в Канаде по приезде начала учить франц. Мы можем вам пока посоветовать сконцентрироваться на одном языке. Заниматься каждый день по пол часа-часу лучше, чем один-два раза в неделю ходить на занятия по два часа. Так не будете успевать забывать пройденное с каждодневной практикой. И начинайте уже сегодня, чем старше мы становимся, тем сложнее усваивать новые языки. Если нет возможности поехать в англо(франко)говорящую среду - окружите себя языком дома. Переведите телефон на другой язык. Смотрите сериалы, фильмы. Читайте по утрам новости. Слушайте подкасты, ютьюб. Найдите друзей по переписке на фейсбуке или на каком-либо приложении для изучения языков. Ловите себя в повседневной жизни на мысли "как бы я сейчас это сказал на англ/франц, если б был в другой стране?". Начинайте прорешивать языковые тесты и устраивайте себе контрольные тесты на время раз в месяц в домашних условиях. И поверх всего этого запишитесь на курсы языка с преподавателем и в какой-нибудь разговорный клуб. Чем лучше уровень языка - тем важнее иметь преподавателя носителя языка. Удачи ❤️

    I don't understand why should I come to Canada if it can't help me find a wife. What other reason I need to relocate to a new country.
    I left my country 16 years ago and I'm still single, nobody explains to me that I won't be alone in Canada too. Just talking about weather and healthcare...
