#Canada #canadian #movingtocanada
As someone who is born and raised in Canada but has traveled abroad extensively, two of the biggest things you should be aware of is in Canada, is that 1) people like to have their personal space, so standing really close to someone when talking to them, or in line, is considered annoying, and 2) people take politeness when it comes to lining up and waiting your turn very seriously. In many countries I've been to, you are expected to crowd around at a restaurant counter or shop in order to be served without any lines, but this is very frowned upon in Canada.
I agree. Having traveled to several Asian countries, personal space was viewed so differently. It was common to experience pushing in a big clump. Respecting lines in Canada is definitely a thing.
Change Canada to Sweden and it's exactly the same.
Omg im from New Zealand, and live in Thailand. I miss my personal space and orderly lines
As someone born and raised in Canada (Toronto) this seemed like common knowledge and I indeed, go nuts when people do not line up properly/patiently in public lol
When i first went out to downtown with my friend. I was on the escalator and there was one step space. Usually back home we don’t miss out on any space then she told me take a step back, people like their personal space a lot here. Then I noticed it a lot of times when i went out
I've visited Montreal many times, and there's a friendliness that's hard to describe. It's not over the top, but if you ask someone for help or strike up a casual conversation, you're often met with a smile, empathy, and levity. It's reflective of a culture that enjoys and appreciates life.
You should visit Brasil, is just like that but on steroids. Everyone is a friend you have not met yet.
@@mattvideoeditor but behind, brazilians put a knife in your back...
When I first came to Canada I thought everything was slow, but now I like it so much because you don't have to rush, you can relax and enjoy.
Where did u come from ?
I like slow life.
I’m immigrating next year. I’m very very nervous, don’t know what to expect, everyone says life is too hard there, but I I’m willing to risk.
"Take canadian winter seriously" 😂 espacially snowstorm warnings when you are driving for a complete day ! You dont want to be stuck in a blizzard if you have never experienced that! Thats even more true if your near the coast or in the prairies (because it snows horizontaly! Its super desorienting).
The layers! You need layers!
And have at least a blanket in your car.
For a extra layer.
moving to Canada from central Europe I was surprised by large distances - in Europe in few hours you can drive through 3 different countries and here after driving for 8 hours you are still in Ontario :)
Yes! We often describe distances by the length of time it takes to get from one place to another. I remember driving from BC to Ottawa, and was so excited when I got to Ontario. Ha! I was in for big surprise regarding how long it still took to get to Ottawa.
laughs in russia
😅 wow that's weird and cool at the same time
I quite enjoy these Montreal interview series vignettes that you are doing Dan. Thanks!
Appreciate that Christopher
Omg I went to eat at Aunt Dai with my family for the moon festival! It was delicious! Thank you to the owners for making such great food 😊❤
A chinese man saying how is to live in canada wearing a brazilian soccer t-shirt it's amazing this mix.
I loved it.
From 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Manners and respect go a long way here, no matter where you are from.
We don't really talk about religion or politics in a simple conversation.
Something foreigners might not expect is that Quebec's French is different from France's French, similar to how Brazil's Portuguese is different from Portugal's Portuguese.
But we still ménage to understand !!!
Not ménage but manage, of corse !!!
@@clairelevasseur9434 t'es drôle Claire
Nice to know you in person and be part of this video. thanks, keep doing what you are doing best.
Thanks Feigang, it was great having you in the video
I like the warning about winter. People think theyre tough, they need to know
Yes! You might have snow where you are from but... How much? How long?
But he was right in saying layers.
this is so interesting, as a canadian who has lived here my entire life. it’s so cool to see what’s different from people’s home countries
As a german who visited Canada a few months ago it was really interesting how different everything was to not only europe but also the states. In the states we (me and my parents) were being talked at left right and center whereas in Canada everyone was minding their own business. Still everyone would greet you (at least in smaller towns) if you went past them, which is definetely not the case in germany. Here we are quite happy to just walk past everyone without even acknologing their existence lmao. Still at least from the looks of things in smaller towns you really couldn't tell the difference between a northern us town or a southern canadian town.
I was especially surprised when we tried to talk to people 5 minutes away from Montreal and more often than not people couldn't even talk english which was really odd since we were an hour away from the us border.
Really enjoyed the stay there though, I will definetely come back if I ever get the chance, things are just way more relaxed in Canada compared to not only the US but also europe. Also the thing about lines is definetely true. Never seen such a civilized line before than in front of Notre dame in Montreal
I had a different idea about Canada before I watched this and read the comments, greetings from Morocco
This is probably your best video.
It is always interesting to see an outsider view of Montreal. Loved the variety of opinions :)
Keep up the good work.
Thank you Stephane!
Came here from Scotland as a child.
Like Wizard of Oz movie,
Scotland was black and white.
Canada was in beautiful technicolour. With less class restrictions, everything was possible.
Thanks for adding comments in English, I really like it, because I am trying to relate sounds with their words. Great video! It was interesting when Chinese guy talked about the differences between countries. I had not thought it before.
Cuisine Aunt Dai! I've been to his restaurant. His online menu is funny and brutally honest. "Orange beef: Comparing to our General Tao Chicken, this one is not THAT good."
If you moved to Canada, please leave a comment with your own advice. If you're Canadian and think something important is missing from the video tell us that too! Here's the full list of advice in this video:

My advice : Know that Quebec is an entirely different nation with its own history of events that shaped its national identity and culture that are completely different from those in the English provinces. Plus, let’s not forget that this said nation has never ratified the present Canadian constitution due to "la nuit des Longs Couteaux". Therefore, it is imperative to treat it respectively as a different entity (independant or not depending on your pov).
Which I'd then argue boils down to learning French. If you want to fully comprehend, appreciate, be appreciated, and experience the province then it's in one's best interest to learn French. It would be a shame to immigrate to Montreal and never explore the rest of the province out of being intimidated by the language.
I’m saying this with complete respect for Quebec but I haven’t noticed a big difference in culture between Québec and the rest of Canada.
Every province in Canada is somewhat different from the other. Québec is slightly more so because of language and the legal system but that’s not a huge difference. I experienced a bigger culture shock moving from Saskatchewan to Vancouver than I did from Vancouver to Montreal.
What I have noticed is that some who have been in Québec all their lives, whether francophone or not, seem to think that Canada outside of Québec is homogeneous. It isn’t. I’ve even noticed this tendency among Torontonians so maybe it’s an eastern thing.
Saskatchewan has its own history, like Louis Riel and the dustbowl. B.C. does too. But that’s not what makes them culturally different from Nova Scotia. We studied the history of all provinces and all cultures including the First Nations in school. We learned about the history of Quebec too. But it’s just that, history. Culture is how we live our daily lives, how we work or study, how we relate to our friends and family. I don’t see how Québec is different in this way.
@@polishtheday It’s funny that you refute me on the culture homogeneity of the English speaking provinces of Canada cuz I also thought that I was being too general on the matter.
Saskatchewan is indeed quite different as the other Maritime provinces.
But maybe your culture shock was bigger in Vancouver cuz of the fact that you travelled from a (I supposed) relatively small city in SASK and arrived in a big metropolis. In the sense that after that trip travelled from a metropolis (VANC) to another metropolis (MTL).
Or maybe you didn’t notice the cultural differences between Quebec and the other provinces because of the fact that you only went to MTL; a city with a huge amount of tourists, foreign students and expats.
@@felixboucher4145 Yes, and probably for other reasons I didn’t mention like the fact that my mother is Fransaskoise and my grandfather from Quebec so I was used to hearing French in childhood and some of their cultural practices were similar to those in rural Quebec and were normal to me.
Although I moved from the largest city in Saskatchewan going to a much larger one was real culture shock to me. Large urban areas have a lot in common. I could probably move to any large city in North America or Europe and soon feel completely at home.
Entirely ? Nope , it is still North America .
Thank you as always for your content!! Seriously underrated travel channel...
Chinese guy had such an interesting perspective and it’s very true.
Honest video, a rare thing these days. Thanks to all about feedback on my society. Merci à tous de votre transparence, très précieux.
Thanks Marc. I try to keep things honest on this channel
The taking off of clothes is generally confined to specific locations. In particular it would be Wreck Beach beside the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. The background for the couple sitting on the blanket is possibly a UBC building.
the wild hot springs in BC (nudity is very normal the deeper in the bush you go). AND the naked bike ride in Vancouver every friday (I'm still using brillo pads to scratch my eyes out). however, it also varies depending on the economy: the tighter the economy and threats the more people keep their cloths on (wild hot springs in BC fan since forever_
They're actually siting in Parc La Fontaine in Montreal.
3:23 "Squirrel!"
Great video btw, always like to see these culture difference videos :)
Excellent video and very perceptive. The segment about "individual vs. collective thinking" is really important as you are expected to be self-motivated and have personal goals
I don´t know to much english but your videos help me to learn english and meet more about other cultures. Love it. ❤
Moving there next month wish me luck🤞
You can do it! 👍
Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine
Have you moved yet? How is it?
You'll be great!
I like this kind of content, thanks for sharing with us. 🐢
That Korean couple is being super Canadian (polite): Poutine does not rival with Korean food!
Loved this! I am not in Canada and not planning to travel to Canada, but I love cultural comparisons. Keep it up.
you need to plan a trip here then!
@@themyceliumnetwork Yeah, it looks delightful. I'm American, but I have been to Canada briefly a couple of times, years ago mostly in Ontario. The biggest "culture shocks" to me at age 19 were the comparatively low prices and the fact that I was legally allowed to drink alcohol at that age. Now,, I would love to visit Montreal, especially!
All of you are welcome !!!
To visit Montréal and Québec city ,and the rest of the province somme place are " sublime" but tourist never see it and it shame...
Look for Chalevois, Le bas St- Laurent , la Gaspésie each région have so many charm !!!
Your videos are very honest and inspiring dude! going to montreal soon 😁
Individualism is much more common here than the states, you have people of thousands of different backgrounds, Pakistani, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Jamaican, Arabic, Afghan, Somalian, Slovakian, etc. Canada caters to literally all cultures, there are literally neighbourhoods in Toronto that you can enter and it feels like you arent even in Canada! I grew up here with immigrant parents and something I've noticed whenever visiting the states is that it feels so much more restricted there, you'll get judged for everything and ridiculed for not looking like an "American", Canadians honestly don't care, really they don't as long as you aren't bothering them/getting in the way of their lives. On Diwali you'll see the streets filled, on Eid you'll see the streets filled, on Christmas you'll see the streets filled. I grew up with a taste of every culture and if i grew up anywhere else then I dont think I would've been able to have the same experience as a child. Love Canada man.
2:28 wow, I hear this so much from people who've moved here! "everything tastes sweeter" but it's not necessarily said complimentarily 😂
yes it is icoming from Europe I prefer to bake my own pastry its just too sweet :)
One more amazing video! thanks a lot
I find useful these impressions of real people. Great channel. Thank you. 🙂
Welcome :)
This was such an interesting video, please make more videos like this! Canada seems like a super enyojable country.
Thank you! Will do! In the meantime you can check out my Canada playlist: czcams.com/play/PLy6sv6ZuyrMtq0zB1DDpbdh2AuQR9BaAA.html
There's tons of nature in Toronto. There's entire trail systems that can get you to vastly different areas of the city, often without ever having to feel like you are in a city, let alone a big metro.
Intéressant! Merci!
Great video !!
Really appreciated!!! Love from India❣️
I am also coming to Montreal soon hope to meet you..
Glad you enjoyed
I had to laugh at the person warning about winter. A Toronto winter ain’t so bad when you have lived much further north. 😅
Bro you are preparing to myself to move at the final of this year to Montreal. Thanks so much! 🫡
Thanks great topic :)
The most important things if you are moving To Montréal or in Québec in general its To try at least To learn french . It's important for preserve the french identity of The province and it will help you a lot to be more a part of the community.
Few of the things that might seem insignificant, but they matter to me and which I like a lot:
1) People holding doors for each other
2) People saying hello when you walk in the street (mostly in small towns)
3) People respecting lines and personal space
4) Serious about traffic rules: all cars stop when kids are boarding or unboarding the Schoolbus. Cars swerve aside and stop when Ambulance, Fire truck or Police are coming.
5) People saying "Bye, thank you, have a good day" to a bus driver when they are getting off their bus stop.
6) Infrastructure and public transport is accommodating for people in wheelchairs. I didn't see so many wheelchair people in my country not because there are less of them, but because they simply cannot move around the town in their wheel chairs.
5) People in the streets, public transport are more polite in general (again - more applicable to smaller towns I think).
I moved to Montreal, and people get surprised when I hold the door. I guess in the big cities, people are less polite.
@@ikarusxv Oh really? I thought it was a thing for the whole Canada.
Thank you for the Colombian guys saying that everything is sweet!! The food is delicious in MTL but I thought I was going crazy bc everything was so sweet!!
Haha 😀
Great idea for a video! congrats
Thanks!
Thank you for all these videos, I am considering moving to Montreal, and I will be visiting Montreal in few days so if I recognize you in the street I will say hi for sure!! ;)
Not saying thank you after someone gives you a donation is very rude imo.
Great video Dan
Thanks!
I like what I see or what you have shown us from Canada But the cold weather it's a No No for me but I hope one day I'll get to visit at least once saludos Dan!!
Come visit in summertime, it's nice. Saludos Ruth!
It's an experience. If you're prepared enough, like the guy said by layering your clothes and getting quality boots, then you'll be able to enjoy the winter without suffering. There are only ever a handful of reeeeeally bad winter days per year.
Although, if you have to drive to work then it will suck more often.
Southern British Columbia is really warm!
@@breyerhorsestudios2964 eh kind of. 4⁰ soaking wet is a lot colder for your body than -20⁰ at 0% humidity.
@@Stephen-uz8dm Except at -20 with strong wind, the beer in your hand start to freeze just staying outside 10 minutes
Cinnamon in all the baking! Though I do like cinnamon buns, but it’s right there in the name.
3:13 so happy to see my countryman here.
Love your channel.
Why didn’t you stay home?
C'était cool d'avoir un peu de français dans la vidéo.
Hello from Warsaw. Montreal sounds like an interesting place. Thanks for sharing.
I would suggest do your research before coming to Canada. When you come to Canada, travel to other parts of Canada
The last Chinese guy looks very sincere.
I'm living in Shanghai, I'd like to immigrate into Canada due to the harsh covid lockdown. But I don't know the way of approaching Canada. I know Canada is an amazing nation.
Respect to that Indian gentleman around 1:95 you did nothing wrong just different! You are an awesome human
Thanks for this comment 🌹proud of you, greetings from Morocco
It is also important to know that a great specificity of Quebec (Montreal) compared to Europe is the denunciation. It is something seen as positive here. Indeed the advantage is to generate a safer and more respectful environment. But in Europe, Whistle Blowing is very much frowned upon (we unfortunately know the excesses - historically) and this can be very shocking as a European.
Do you mean whistling in the streets or whistle blowing when encountering a conspiracy?
Please, thank you and sorry.... absolutely! Be kind and respectful, it goes a long way here. I live in downtown Toronto, born here and I'm shocked at how rude people can be now. This is what makes Canada what it is. Show that you want to fit in and Canadians will show interest in your background as well. They will go out of their way to help you.
First thing get a tent for winter use
???
Hello from Mexico 🇲🇽
Can you make some videos like this in Alberta please ? 😃
Interviewing the ten cent Canadians,cool lol
Chinese Guy Bang on point.
It is my Reason, I'm looking to move because of Individuality One gets in Western Culture.
good
🙌
I'm an immigrant to Canada. I've been here for 70 years and love this place. It's peaceful, people are friendly and helpful but most of all we have a social welfare system and free health care (well, we actually pay for it with our taxes). We need immigration to grow our population so for the most part you will be welcome here.
As a Canadian from Ontario, I really enjoyed seeing how much sustainability initiatives (specifically green energy) I saw in Montréal. I also know there are many small architectural builds and resorts that are aiming to be eco-friendly in other parts of Quebec too. I think that is super cool!
A big thing with bike culture it greatly depends on where you live, Montreal for example is way more bike friendly than most of Canada, where I live in Ontario you may see some bike lanes, but overall biking is pretty unsafe/underutilized.
Ctrl F: replace All “Canada” with “Québec” 😂
The last guy from China is so right
For how long are you saying in Montréal?
Don't be afraid of spreading out yes it's colder up north but easily done but if one is not at there best you can fall asleep in a snowbank but who's fault is that. Times have changed get an education for even the utility companies. Sawadee Khap.🤠
As a born canuck this video and those in it, make me even prouder to be Canadian.
Its very cold in the winter, summer only lasts a month, big mosquitos, they don't have a gun violence epidemic as does the US...
Summer lasts from mid May to mid September pretty much.
And you forgot about sping and fall my favorite !!! Long walk in nature....
Very nice format. Although I don't mind seeing your face more.
Can someone explain to me what the guy at 5:08 meant by canadians are less direct in communications? I’m not sure he meant by that.
He means people interfere in others business and are directly opinionated about what you do/your actions. People here mind their own business and aren't as direct of trespassing boundaries
@@tyshadonyxs2008 Thanks for that feedback. I never heard it with that meaning.
I think English Canadians are less direct when asking for things or criticizing /disagreeing. Especially at work or formal situations. We use roundabout language to soften what we're saying. Also, I've noticed that people from other cultures, including French Canadians, tend to ask questions that I consider hella inappropriate, like when am I having kids with my boyfriend, etc. But this is a difference between French and English Canadian culture.
Read the video's description. This video was filmed in Montreal. So tone down the French canadian vs English canadian a bit.
As someone who worked with a lot of Indians internationally, I interpret the "less directness" statement as interference/criticism. In India people know each other. Even business is done through familial and close friends relationships, so everyone is kind of in your business. Even strangers will say whatever they think on their minds and we may interpret it as rude. For example, random aunties may just talk about how fat you are right infront of you. To us Canadians, that would be rude, but to many in India (and other Asian countries I've been too), it would be considered just banter or a joke or their way of "caring". I experienced a lot of personal questions asked during initial meetings on my travels through Asia ie "Are you married? Why are you that colour? Etc..." This doesn't happen as often in Canada because we understand that people live individual lives and have a lot of personal space here, so our norm questions are less direct: "How are you? How's the weather for you? What do you do for a living?"
I do not want to generalise (francophone montrealer here), but relationships (boyfriend-girlfriend) begenings can be really different here, compared to other countries. For instance, it is not uncommon for people to date multiple people at the same time here before focusing on one relationship (if monogamy is your thing). Also, even if someone is dating you it can be weeks to months before you are considered in a ''relationship'' officialy with them. You often have to speak about it with your partner to clarify what type of relationship you have, its not automaticly assumed. But again be carefull with that tip, because so many things influence it (generation, city or countryside , french or english, province you are in, culture seeing that canada as a lot of immigration. For instance, i am a second generation portugese, which influences me obviously). Nice video :)
Also, when to say I live you😅
I wonder how many of these Canadian peculiarities relate to the original Canadians, and how much was brought in by the British and/or French.
I have been to Montreal, didn't like the city very much (it was back in 2006 when I was 15 y/o) I saw a lot ads saying 'are you a slut?' lmao! I think what bugs me about Canada (and I live here atm) (I am from Ethiopia) is this individualism aspect of the culture. And like that man from China I prefer a collective society. I also find that living in the GTA. I find dating and driving culture a serious problem because the way people act so snobbishly and ignorantly when they date and drive. I am moving back to (and I am considering this) either to Philippines or Ethiopia. I like these countries better. Was just curious about this video when I saw it in my feed. Interesting how one said you have to bundle up: I dislike cold weather and in Ethiopia there is only hail and rain and heat. That's it.
All about the east coast. What about the west, as usual.
Hi ,Where are you from?
off don't know why but "The please and thank you is important in Canada" got me, kind of comes off as snobish, especially when its done to new comers or people of colour I find. Definately had interactions like that, sometimes from whites born outside of Canada who always assume that every person of colour they meet's a new comer or an immigrant.
Il faut rapidement apprendre le francais, si on veut vivre au Quebec.
My dream is live in Canada 🥲
first thing to know before comming to my beautiful Canada that I love is, wait till we get rid of the tyrant Trudeau, otherwise legal immigrant are welcome and appreciated for our multicultural community, great video by the way
You should setup your discord and subreddit for people to exchange
Hoping to get those set up this year! Big things coming
If you come from a warm country, don’t go to Canada, it’s very cold there. Pick a warmer place, like Florida or Southern California. If you absolutely have to go, then go to Vancouver because the climate is milder but for God’s sake don’t go anywhere else, it’s freezing. Stay in a nice warm natural climate instead of moving to a cold hostile unnatural one.
Number one tip: Speak English or French.
Cantonese/Mandarin and Urdu are NOT national languages.
Punjabi is now the third most common language in Canadian Parliament. Just wait. It's going to get a lot worse!!!
@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki Worse? What do you mean by that?
How can i travel to Canada (im from in yemen) if some one know how please help
By Plane 😂😂
please visit india 🇮🇳🇮🇳
1:58 ohhh so I understand now why Indians food deliverers never say hello/thank you/please/goodbye when they collect the order at a restaurant
I thought it was soooo rude but it's cultural I guess...
the same with their offering you your change: it's dropped on the table or counter, usually. in hot, humid climates touching hands is a great way to spread cuties, germs, and disease.
Quebec is not CANADA!!!!!!
The rest of Canada is just the USA copy pasted. Quebec has all the so called « canadian identity »
Stay mad, you guys are stuck with us lmao.
don't let this video steer you in the wrong direction.
your phone, wallet, purse, car... "may" be stolen in canada depending on where you are. (but there is a good chance if it's lost it will be returned)
people get murdered, robed, carjacked, kidnapped...... in Canada, the population for the size of the country gives everyone lots of room to be where you want but most things are in the larger cities (just like in other countries)
if you come to Canada & visit Quebec prepare yourself for some culture shock & hatred / discrimination towards anyone who does not speak Canadian "French" !
Canada is a great place but is highly influenced by American culture (U.S.A.)
Canada's multiculturalism is one of the things that makes it such a great place !
(you can not sum-up Canada in 8 minutes and 47 seconds)
I think what he meant is that robbers are less likely to steal from you. Hence why in other countries there are so many scam warnings and people wear their phones close to their bodies. For instance, on my travels i asks to borrow someones phone and they were very hesitant if not denied me. In Canada, ive asked to borrow many peoples phones and most people are quite happy to lend it to me. Theft happens here but it's not common, and I'm from the big city.
@@sophien5416 Like today our gas prices are much higher but you're not likely to lose your SUV in a gas station car jacking. Calif. just sent out checks on the basis their gas prices are too high. Come to Canada. All is relative.
French Quebecer here. Quebec was one of the most catholic place on earth not to long ago. We rejected religion completely and dived into nationalism/independentist instead.
Quebecer see themselves as distinct from the rest of Canada but the ideas of separations are gone for good now.
Most are afraid to lose the french language (inevitable at this point) that make the government put restrictions, to push people away from english.
I feel that we kept a bit of the north of France in our culture and thus we have good independent restaurants, bars. Lots of music, shows, art, etc.
The population is aging rapidly thus there is lots of job available and we are looking at immigration to slow down the collapse of the working force.
We are one of the most socialist place in north america: very high taxes but lots of social programs for poor people, public health care, etc.
5:50 You haven't tried Croatia, then. The nude spots\beaches seemed many; and often one beach would accommodate both nudes and those in swimwear, with one half of the beach for nudes and the other half for the others. But if you look left
ight you'll see lots of people totally naked. So if you don't wanna see then it's on you to avoid the nudist direction. Strange feeling.
There was a little miscommunication happening there (which the captions kind of clarified a bit). The Korean couple were referring to people stripping down to bathing suits or other light clothing to sunbathe or enjoy the warm weather. Nudist locations do exist in Canada but they are fairly uncommon and anywhere else, not having your genitals covered in public would be a (fairly minor) criminal offense (public indecency). While public toplessness is perfectly legal for anyone in Canada (has been since a court decision in the late 1990s), it is still typical social custom for women to wear some level of upper body covering.
Of course, in private homes and private establishments and at the occasional nude beach or nudist resort (which are basically private clubs), no such rules apply.
The reality is that most of Canada's got a rather abundant biting insect (mosquitos and certain flies) population during the warm months and fairly intense summer summer can make showing a lot of skin less interesting that you might think. Canadians (especially French Canadians) aren't especially uptight about showing skin but it isn't always a practical choice.
We have a number beach in Toronto but it certainly isn't as common in Europe. Personally, I'd love to have more of them cause it feels nice to just be free and go for a swim.
