    Moving to Canada – how to adjust?

    By Bailey N. | Moving destinations | 0 comment | 4 September, 2018 | 0

    Moving to Canada or any other new country can be demanding. There’s a lot to take once you want to change your address for a different one in a different system. Yet, if you know this already, then you have the solution. Firstly, be mentally prepared for the move, plan in advance and calculate the cost of your relocation. You have to be prepared for different law regulations, obligations or a random culture shock. It doesn’t have to be difficult with a good preparation.

    Good preparation means you should hire professionals such as neeleysvanandstorage.ca who can give you specific advice on your international moving.

     

    Bienvenue au Canada is one more greeting you’ll have when moving to Canada

     

    That is correct when moving to Canada, this is the sign that you will see. Understanding all parts of the picture will make moving to another country made easy. Once you move to Canada, you will see more of these French signs. In Canada, two languages are official, English and French. Of course, a rich variety of other languages is there also. 60% of the country speaks English but in Québec the situation is different. Be prepared for different accents too. As well, the customs are different; people may greet you with a firm handshake or kissing you on the cheeks. The currency in Canada is the Canadian dollar. And try not to compare Canada with the USA, because that can be seen as offensive. When you move to Canada, tend to respect the country and comply with the social norm.

    Once you move to Canada get ready for different cultures

    French culture and language had an influence on modern Canada

    When moving to Canada, it is not only the social norm that will change. Canada has 10 provinces and three territories that reach out to 3 oceans. So choose well where you want to move to Canada. The climate is different depending on the area. If you already moved and it is too cold, think about relocation to a more favorable area. If you are a lawyer or that is your field of work, you should study the differences between provinces and territories, that will help you adjust to the law system of Canada. Understanding why the system is set in that way can help you understand Canadians as well. Do not try to make a discussion about the position of English/ French language in society since that will be seen as rude. Respect differences.

     

    Social norms you need to know when moving to Canada

     

    Values of the Canadian system that you should be aware of when moving to Canada are social justice, equality, and fairness. Canadians have the reputation that they are too polite. Sometimes, the level goes to absurd. Yet, that is just how Canadians express one should be treated no matter of age, religion, sex, nationality. Always be on time. The common rule is that someone will wait for you for not more than 10 to 15 minutes. Once you move to Canada, your neighbors will greet you and wish you a warm welcome. Maybe they will also advise you on how to cope with moving stress. Most likely they have been in that situation and they will try to help you. It is not odd when a cashier in the supermarket asks you how were your day.

    Be aware of etiquette when moving to Canada

    What is the right glass for white wine?

    Moving to Canada means that you will incorporate new rules and discover yourself in a way. Always make an eye contact while talking with new people. Asking too personal questions is not seen as a good choice. Socialize but do not get too personal. Of course, these are some of the tips that you should know to adjust better to the Canadian lifestyle. Yet, please note that there are exceptions. You should avoid the biggest moving mistakes but the cultural ones too. Always ask, do not assume. The driving license that you have will most likely need to be replaced. The driving licenses in Canada are under the province’s regulations and as such different than the others.  In Canada, the expression- Native Americans is considered rude. People use the expression of the First Nations people. The usual working time is from 9 am till 5 pm.

    Natural diversity in Canada is something you need to know when moving to Canada

     

    Since you decided to move to Canada, you need to know The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship. Besides the different languages, customs, social norms you will adjust to different nature. As explained, Canada has different climate since it is the second largest country in the world. Canadians are very environmentally aware and they respect the surroundings. They have very specific laws that protect the vast nature that they have. Try visiting and exploring Canada as much as you can. If you plan to move to Saskatchewan it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t visit Québec. Mentality will certainly be different. Of course, there are different rules in every area. The richness of nature is almost the same as the richness of ethnicity that Canada has. Be attentive and open-minded.  

    When moving to Canada, you will adore the nature

    Embrace the scenery of Canada

    In the end, just have in mind that moving to Canada can give you a lot of opportunities. Of course, most of them will be disguised as troubles at first glance. Overcome it by observing and implementing. See how people react when the talk is about religion, sex, or any other topic. Do not get late for a meeting nor too early for a party. Everything is about the experience.  In the first a couple of months, it will be hard. But moving to any country will be hard. Just accept it as it is and learn to do the unpacking like a pro after moving. Embrace the culture, the lifestyle and many wonders that Canada has. And always try to contribute to the community as much as you can, this should be your greatest aspiration. Then the adjusting part while moving to Canada will be done.
