Attractions of Studying in Canada

Among the attractions of studying in Canada are the multi-nationality of the country and the warm-heartedness of the people. Immigrants account for approximately 20% of the total population of Canada and in recent years the number of immigrants from the Middle East and Asia has been increasing in addition to those from European countries. It is a unique Canadian experience to be able to experience multiculturalism while learning a language.

Due to its proximity to the United States, Canadian English is known to be less accented and habitual than that of other countries with English as an official language. English spoken by Canadians is easily comprehensible and even beginners to study abroad will feel comfortable traveling to Canada.

Living in Canada

Climate

Canada is the second largest country in the world, so the climate varies considerably from city to city. The following is an introduction to the climates of two cities, Vancouver and Toronto.

The climate in Vancouver is Mediterranean, with a dry season in the summer; temperatures are slightly cooler throughout the year, and summers are not as hot. Although Canada is known for its cold weather, Vancouver has a relatively mild winter climate.

Toronto, on the other hand, is located in a subarctic humid climate area. The subarctic humid climate is characterized by a large difference in temperature between summer and winter. Temperatures are cool throughout the year. In winter, even the highest temperatures can drop below freezing on some days.

Prices

Although it varies depending on the product or item, eating out, in particular, is characteristically relatively expensive. Tipping is a common practice in Canada, such as when using taxis or eating at restaurants, which can result in greater expenses. The standard tip is approximately 10-15% of the total cost of the meal.

Public Order

Canada is generally considered to be a safe country. Although you may feel uneasy because of the proximity of the country to the United States, visitors can rest assure that restrictions on firearms are tightly enforced. Nevertheless, it is also true that petty crimes such as pick-pocketing and theft do occur in Canada. It is advisable to avoid walking alone at night in urban areas.
