Jazi Jazi if you’re talking about someone from India then no (I think that’s rather obvious) but if you’re talking about indigenous peoples then it’s absolutely offensive and has been used as a derogatory term against indigenous peoples for hundreds of years and was especially very commonly used during the period where (unfortunately) residential schools where ragingly popular with certain schools having slogans like “killing the Indian within the Indian”. It has a dark history and should be avoided when talking about indigenous peoples.
You have to keep in mind, that he is talking about when you visit Canada. He gives a brief outline to follow, thus being respectful to the country you are visiting. I’m Canadian, and I agree with him.
I'm Canadian and I don't really agree with him if you vist then have fun and bee your self who cares what people you don't now think of you. Only like have of the this is something to use.
Thanks for the video Igor. I have lived in Canada for almost 4 years now, my experience however is a little bit different from what you have described here. Canadians have a great sense of humor, they enjoy sarcasm and dark humor like everybody in the planet... since after all they are HUMANS! I love making fun of Hockey and the terrible winters here with them and they actually enjoy it (it is one thing to be funny, another to be offensive and disrespectful). I also like to throw comparisons to the US with my friends and wait for their reaction! Canadians love their country and are proud of it, they have a thick skin, which you should have to handle the weather here :) Like in every place, there are people that are looking to be offended by everything, stay away from those people. I'm afraid that what is being suggested here is that you should "so blend" with the culture here that you'll stop being you, sorry if I'm misunderstanding, but that is crazy! I love being me and Canadians love diversity, even diversity of opinion. Remember, they key is to "assimilate" into the culture and respect and learn to love the distinctive things, not to annihilate your identity for the sake of "acceptance" by a certain group of people. Canada is diverse, that means you have all races, all religions and all political affiliations here well represented. It is a great country, it is not heaven though. ;)
@@gotyourreesespiecesbutterc4512 One thing I'm not proud of in Canada, is how stupid many of our ppl are. Yes, Trudeau started immigration genius. It's not his fault u feel uncomfortable around non white people, it's the inbreeding & refusal to accept science over gut feeling. Don't feel bad.
"Do not use too much dark humour"..... Dude, my humour is darker than satan's soul. We aren't so soft that we'll get offended by a bit of dark humour. Racist 'humour', sure. Dark? Nahhh.
Actually you can use dark humor but only with friends if you know they are comfortable with that. I use dark humor all the time with my friends and family but I would never says dark humor to someone I'm not close to. Also some comedian uses dark humor and it's ok but they still get critizes sometimes
You can speak what ever language you like Igor. As a fourth generation Canadian, I can attest it's ok to speak on the phone in another language. It's impolite to talk on the phone when with friends in any language. But if you are walking the streets or in the mall, and you are alone, and you are talking on the phone, speak whatever language you like. ❤️🇨🇦 Live in Calgary but raised in Edmonton. The country is so large that each province or area may have it's own or different societal norms. Overall be polite and you'll be ok.
@RedWave 2019 You shouldn't though. We have two mom's at our school who speak Spanish. 🤷 I don't care when they speak it to each other. Now if I was part of the conversation, then I'd be uncomfortable.
@RedWave 2019 Context would help the conversation though. Are there specific times you speak Spanish? I mean there's certain societal norms one has to follow. 1) Don't talk too loud when on your cellphone, 2) don't make phone calls in restaurants, etc.
@RedWave 2019 I think that should be ok. I'm ok with people speaking whatever language they want. I might be curious at first but I wouldn't be offended. If anything, I'd want to learn to speak Spanish. I used to have a friend in University from El Salvador. I didn't care when she spoke her native/first language. I have a lot of Chinese friends and I'm always learning their language, mostly Cantonese or Mandarin. As for the French speaking CANADIANS, it's easier for them to learn and speak Spanish. I found learning German to be easier and closer to English. So that's probably why that happens.
Canada is a baby; in comparison with other civilizations. Only one hundred and fifty years young, versus with a countries over thousands of civilizations histories.. politeness and trying to accommodate others, with glowing heart goes long way. Respect. Totally to Canada.
Canada has been around for thousands of years and many people here can trace their ancestry back just as far here. Hell Europeans started coming here in the 11th Century
I'm from a Detroit suburb and prior to 9/11 it took about 20minutes to be in Windsor, Ontario. I worked for a member of the Canadian Parliament and lived in Ottawa. Here are a few things that I observed as an Anthropologist. Courtesies are very important to them more so than in the USA. So keep that in mind with dealing with them. Go out of your way to hold open doors for them even if they are 15 feet away. Don't smoke in public. You will get passive/aggressive coughs and hacks from people walking by. Don't bring up Meech Lake Accord (they were trying to get a Constitution and it didn't happen) Do not refer to Native peoples as "Indian" if you are using a generic term "Indigenous" is your best choice. They are more politically correct than Americans. Even something slightly questionable can be seen as offensive. Do not litter. They have always been more environmentally aware. I remember in the early 90s they were already starting to recycle. When in Quebec or French speaking areas attempt to speak French they will appreciate it. When the Quebecois/Franco-Ontarians etc realize you are not a Canadian they will speak English. If you are Canadian in the French speaking areas they will expect you to speak French. They can tell the difference ;) Beer is a big thing there for many folks. Don't make fun of it or their Health Care system-those like Hockey are sacred cows. If you have never been to Canada check it out it's an awesome country with diversity and natural beauty and super people. Just an FYI every year around the fourth of July and Canada Day July 1 Americans and Canadians gather near the Detroit river and have a joint fireworks display. It's a joint celebration and party shared on both sides. Peace from a friend in the USA.
Good post ... but ... the Meech Lake Accord?? You're dating yourself, Grandpa; nobody even remembers the Meech Lake Accord, except for a few political-scientists and ... old timers ... !
I appreciate but being an Indian let me know which country is best America or Canada .no doubt America is super power ful .but for living standard life
I'm sure it's hard to cross the border with one though. My friend competed in the last Olympics in pistol shooting and she had to carry lots of permits to fly with her equipment.
@@mom.emma2010 Well, unless they are prohibited in Canada, you can bring most firearms through the border. For restricted firearms you will need a permit and an authorization from the gorvernment, but for the non-restricted firearms, all you need is a valid canadian permit. However, it's better to call before you come! www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/import-importer-eng.htm
I am from the United States of America. I have been to Canada before. I show respect to everyone there and I knew that things are different there. I think that everything was explained perfectly in this video. Great job 👍. Thank you so much for posting this. Well done 👍.
I grew up 77 miles from Windsor. I love Canada and its money. I will never disrespect Canada. Also I have relatives there in Saskatoon. Please be kind. Thanx.
Remember that when you arrive in Canada you are given quite a lot of freedom to learn and make mistakes regarding these cultural norms. But as you spend more time and improve your language skills, Canadians will let you know if you are slow to learn these norms. What is tolerated when you land from the plane might not be after a while, especially by the persons you see frequently, like at work. One key thing to remember, this is a country made up of minorities, and that was well understood by those in power... they also felt like they had little power since they felt like they were also in a minority. At least that was what every other minority was skilled at reminding them.
I was born and raised in Canada and I'm going to stay all of what you said is true we also don't like when other cultures try to push their culture on us. An we do get mad like anyone else we just do it in a more polite manner . I hope everyone enjoys our country we just asked you leave it the way you find it amazing. Lol
I’m a Canadian and when I went down to the states, I was being a bit clumsy and tripped and a group of people laughed at me. It was quite hard to enjoy my stay with an injured leg.
It is just impossible to be rude to Canadians, they are so nice and friendly. I am working as a personal interpretator for almost 10 years, met a lot of representatives of different nations, but Canadians are still the best people on this planet :D
Hey ive been watching your channel over a week now ,and i can't wait to consume more videos from you coz im supposed to go to to canada by the end of this month and im landing in calgary and probably spending the next 5 years up there. So i wanted to thank you for all advice that you give through your videos. Calgary seems to be a lovely city and i can't wait to enjoy it. ✌🏽
I would like to mention that even though people don't appreciate someone forcing their belief system on them they will generally respect your right to follow your own customs and beliefs as long as you aren't infringing on their right to follow their beliefs. Canada is the only mosaic in the world, whereas the United States is a melting pot. In a mosaic this means you are encouraged to bring your culture with you to Canada. In Canada you are Canadian - (insert your nationality here). My Korean wife has been here 7 years and no one has ever discouraged her from being Korean, and thankfully so because Korean is part of who she is as a person.
One thing about tipping... Yes, we tip, 15 % if service is good, or even ordinary. Which is a real pain because (in the province of Quebec, where I live) that means that your restaurant bill will be 30% more than the price on the menu as there is 15% sales tax (total Fed and prov taxes) plus the tip... Just insane.
@@malyshevvasiliy9541 no difference what so ever. Using a credit car is just a method of payment, nothing else. There is no reason why it should be different. As a matter of fact some ( but very few) restaurants do refuse credit as the cost to them ( credit card can charge as much as 5 or 6 percent I’m told) they figure it’s just too much.
@@jeanjcaron if I pay in cash and I see total in check as 100(for example) then I add 15bucks as tips. If I pay with a card , a waiter brings a small payment terminal with NFC and I just apply the card to a terminal and don't press any buttons on it. So, how is it going in Canada when you pay with a card? Does customer press buttons in order to choose amount of money - w/tips or w/o tips? Just a small question if you don't mind 🙂
@@malyshevvasiliy9541 yes indeed before you insert or swipe your card you will be asked if you want to add a tip and even have pre calculate amounts, for instance it will ask if you want to add 15, 20, or 25%. But beware, this percentage will be calculated on the price including taxes... in Quebec it is easy to figure out what 15% is exactlly as the total bill will show the provincial sales tax and the federal tax (GST or goods and services tax) by adding them, that is your 15% right there. The paper bill will show those three amounts 1. Total price of food 2. Provincial tax and 3. GST.
1. Talk negative about hockey 2. Try to bring a gun. 3. Red Indians 4. Criticize Lgbt 5. Dark humor 6. Gift to government employees or company 7. Home language 8. Impose ones culture 9. Not be rude Missed out 2
Great video😊 I love Canada because the country has the Heart of Love. Love that produce kindness, politeness, honest, friendly and helpful. That's why is very important to make sure whatever we do or say doesn't offend anyone. I visited so many countries, but the feeling and interactions I'm getting here "amazing". Canada train people to be positive, face the challenge, and be happy all the time. God Bless Canada, God bless Canadians 🤗
Canadian from Québec here...Never ever under any circonstance talk badly about the fact someone speak french in Canada. Language is a very touchy subject in Canada, especially in the eastern part of it and it has very heavy historical and political meaning you don't want to get into ! If someone speak french, respect it and even try to speak it, they will treat you with great respect for it and if they speak english, the same can be done. Also for my fellow Canadian, whatever you think about language and the souverainiste in Québec, being respectful to each other is more civilized !
Abigail Junky so basically the first even Canadian are native Indian and inuit from South America, the first ever immigrant are Viking, and you sir even tho you from Canada, u probably not a native Canadian, and you sir is an immigrant too
Hey, Igar.... I'm from India, I watch your all videos.... I appreciate your work. Your videos help us to how to migrate to Canada n how to survive there....we can see Canada by your eyes.... thank you....keep it up.
There are english Canadian, french Canadian and A LOT of bilingual canadians, so you can freely speak whatever language you want, most people wont mine. Even more in big cities, where we have people from all around the world who all speak different language
We (Canadians) are multi-cultural. This is good, but all of us born here promote our CANADIAN- ness first and foremost. -Don't be sexist -Don't be age-ist -Don't be racist - Have a sense of humour bordering on the wacky/warped/quick-witted/simultaneously self-deprecating and self-promotional..... If you don't "get" British humour, you're sunk -You can talk smack about hockey but be aware you will get flak... Putting down teams you do not like and those that do like them IS a national pastime, however - tip wait staff, hairdressers, drivers, gardeners etc.- any service person. You can give gifts to teachers, travel agents, the nice lady at your dental office.....not anyone in authority over you or your business - MOST Canadians do not care what colour/race/religion/gender/sexual orientation/political viewpoint/original culture, etc. you are, have, or come from as long as you are a decent person BUT what we DO care about is: For crying out loud!!- bathe frequently and wear underarm deodorant daily!!!! (Canadians do NOT want to smell your body odour!) -Winter happens, learn to love it -be polite- hold the door, let people in your lane, let someone else go ahead of you, smile, say Hello, apologize if you bump into someone or get in someone's way, be helpful -drink tea or coffee like it's essential to life, almost constantly, every day - don't be violent- never find a permanent solution to a temporary problem - embrace other people's perspectives and treat other humans how you would like to be treated - being friendly takes nothing away from you so try to spread joy 🇨🇦❤ 🇨🇦❤ 🇨🇦❤🇨🇦
You can bring in certain firearms legally in to Canada you have to declare them fill out paperwork register the firearms before you come and pay whatever fees they want with the Canadian immigration face us do not care for and will react rather proactively on is if you come to the border without the clearing firearms they are not particularly friendly with that and will make your life quite unpleasant including adverse just taking your firearms and maybe banning you from future entry
What do you mean guns are not allowed here? Plenty of firearms in Canada. Around 35% of population owns firearms. Bringing guns over any border in civilized world will get you in trouble. Try to take a firearm from Canada to the USA.
its legal. you need to take a course, get a license and you have no past issues with the law you go out and get a rifle/shotgun. handgun needs additional course and additional license, but this is harder to get.
We are also willing to help out strangers in need. Remember Newfoundland during the chrisis of 911? People were opening their homes to strangers after the airplanes were grounded. We are pretty much like this across the country.
not to give gifts..... not heard of here.... and.... manors are not the same all over Canada....Victoria BC are much more polite than even , Vancouver BC
Also about the sorry and whatnot, that s true, but that s for if you collide with someone in the street or don't have enough money for something....or some other offense. Just ....do unto others as you want them to do unto you. So... if you're rude to someone, the'll be rude right back, If you're rude to a waiter or retail person... You will get terrible service and get kicked out of a store maybe...if things escalate. If you are polite... you'l get good service and people will be nice to you.
Nice video buddy! Only three comments: (1) liking hockey is a bit of a stereotype (2) You forgot to mention racism. Being racist of mentioning racist comments is generally considered highly offensive and can very quickly get you fired or otherwise in trouble of the law. (3) Canadians do enjoy humour, dark or otherwise, and are generally accepting of it. Some of the best comedians ever come from Canada, despite it's low population. Best of success!
I am Canadian, dont listen to this guy, people are fine with you having an opinion, that is if you are anywhere east of ontario, which is where you want to go anyway if you want a good scenery.
Hi from Ireland love Canada I think Canadians are lovely people so friendly I used to buy stuff online from a store in Calgary and they were the nicest people you could deal with so helpful omg I can't say enough about Canadians going next year when the virus eases down please god 🙏
tiping in is big, whether it be resturants, cabs, bars, even the odd package carrier, (even fedex employees, lol), some hotels, babysitters, movers, (basically service industry sector)
Why is everyone so hung up on labels? If you live in Canada, you're Canadian first and your heritage, although extremely important, is second. Also, the name Indian was never meant as a derogatory title. It is was Columbus who used the name to describe Native North American people, as he truly believed he had reached India. Everyone seems to be so worried about political correctness which is ridiculous. I am a first generation Canadian, who when people ask me what I am, my answer is always Canadian. If they ask me my heritage, I will gladly tell them that as well. I am so glad to live in a country with such a marvellous heritage as Canada.
Nice video! I also say to new comers, make an attempt to chat in English, practice English or french. Live in different areas of the city. Dont just live next door to the store that sells food from your home country. Canada is a long ways from ethnic blending, an sometimes seem very district ethnic oriented. but the future generation can change that. My best advice to new folks. Join a rec sports group, Meet new folks. diversify your beliefs. Forget those old world beliefs that might segregate and network! Networking is the best way to learn about education, get hired, advance a career. It seems tough at first but keep doing your best!
@@ridgemondhigh4891 Maybe they weren't really teachers? I mean, organizations that take teachers to Japan are famous for favoring native speakers, no matter if they are teachers or not. They think that the fact that you speak a language is enough for you to teach it, and that attracts the wrong crowd
I am Canadian and I legally own firearms, including handguns. YES we are allowed to own these, we are just not as fucked up as the USA with our guns. We cannot legally carry the handguns around but you can still own them.
The city mostly has cable internet and they use Wi-Fi because everyone has mobile devices. People outside of the city need a dish and a DSL internet which is not much different. The plan you choose is based on how much bandwidth you need. It is not a problem to get Internet anywhere. In other words cable/set top box, dsl/dish, satellite/mobile devices. Although mobile devices also use WiFi.
Yeah i would like to know how internet works and what are the services offered ; how good/bad the connexion is, and what can you expect from it when you are in need of 100mb/s upload for instance.
@@saikouyayabarry9665 Shaw Cable is up to 150 mbps download and 15 mbps upload for their internet but cable providers offer packages that group Internet and television (these are two separate dishes with DSL/Satellite outside of the city). Mega bytes.
@@HPCthulhu2011 thanks. meanwhile ive been digging about it and i found that telus can provide you up to 150mbps, can you get access to this technology no matter wherever you are in calgary,or is it just limited to some specific places?
@@saikouyayabarry9665 There is cable in the city (Telus or else Shaw) and DSL towers for outside of the city. The DSL is good but the dish has to face the tower properly which can be an issue but they set it up for you. I'm not sure if the internet/television cable plan reduces bandwidth in half instead of all to the internet but most people pay $75 a month for the duel package. Yeah you can be 100 miles outside of the city and still get high speed internet.
I wish everybody would respect our culture in AMERICA like this Canadian wants in Canada.We don't want people from other country's cramming their culture down our throats either
You don’t get it man. Here in Canada it’s "live and let live" . People can bring their culture all they want. They don’t put it down your throat man. That’s what right wing propaganda want you to believe though
One important thing Igor forgot to mention: staring at others, especially strangers. While in some cultures staring is considered acceptable to a certain extent, in Canada this is not the case. While it's true that Canadians are open and welcoming, they can also be self-conscious and private, and staring at someone can make them feel uncomfortable. If you look at someone for more than a second or two, they may think that you are either looking at them in a sexually suggestive context or that there is something odd or weird about their appearance or clothing that makes them stand out in a negative way. For this reason, even if you are curious of what someone is doing, it is much better to take several shorter glances than one long stare, because looking at someone in an overly deliberate way will be quite awkward and can certainly make them uncomfortable.
That sounds like many people are insecure about something in Canada. People are not confident in themselves. Happens a lot, lately I just say "What's Up?" and I find out that a person who watched my TH-cam channel didn't ever think we could meet on a street 😆
Aboriginal is the word for the First People. The Natives. If there is an English person visiting your home ,all speak English in your home. Otherwise you can speak your own language. There are hundreds of different languages and cultures in Canada, (my family alone have 20 different dialects and cultures) Aboriginal, Polish, Russian, Danish, German Jamaica n, African, etc Canadians love to learn other cultures, exspecially learning a new food dish! My friend, is from Africa and she taught me to make a curry fish dish! I make her cinnamon buns with maple syrup! Lol it's a new world here, I'm 2nd generation and my children are first cause their father is from Hungary, immigrated to Canada in the 70s. Have a wonderful day! God's country. Be positive, negativity is not welcomed.
I am a 61 year old Canadian. If a Canadian says "Sorry" he or she does mean it. Were not Americans who might say "sorry" and never mean it. Maybe french Canadians say "sorry" but don't mean it.
Remember certain canadians will remind you about distacted driving laws, just to find something wrong with your video, just to say i told you so. Anyway petty people aside canada is a great place to come and live! Im native cree and i welcome you!
"Do not talk about gender roles" means do not talk about women gender roles. On the other hand it is open season when it comes to criticizing straight white men.
I dont think even direly oppressed women and gays in 3rd world countries complain as much white men complains about these topics. White men in USA are the biggest crybabies in the world.
I've called my native friends Indians all the time. They all like being referred to by different terms. Indian isn't a slur. If someone doesn't appreciate it, they'll correct you and you just respect it.
Sir Louis The Third I disagree, Hamilton and Toronto is a great place. Just not the most safest, it's a big city which means more action. And if you drink water from Lake Ontario, You won't die or anything.
There is so, the press can criticize the government all they like. But you have no right to harass people and can expect to lose some teeth if you go around acting like an American.
Canadians will allow you to walk on them to a point. If you are rude or trying to push your opinions as facts with no room for new concepts then get ready for some cold shoulders. Canadians are afraid to tell you how your acting so if they do then you must be really out of line and if you refuse to shape up then things will not be easy for you. As communities often talk to each other about people and it will only be a matter of time before you find your self not being treated so kindly at stores and shops of the area and people will stop talking to you.
Where ever you go be careful about criticising the culture and customs. Pay attention to the common manners of the country and expect them to be different from your own. And speaking languages other than English publicly varies in acceptability across the country. It's the norm in Toronto to hear conversations in a wide variety of languages. In Quebec, expect low level hostility if you aren't speaking French.
English is my first language but I'm quite fluent in French if I'm talking on the phone with someone in French I don't care what someone else thinks speak whatever language you want the other person will simply have to mind their own business
you forgot few things, don’t cut people off or drive under the limit in the passing lane. it’s one way to have a pile of cars honking and giving you double kick stands as passing you. when talking to strangers stay in your zone. we use the boundary unwritten rules here. if i can smell your breath your going to get nugged away or told to back up. we treat our ladies with respect and as equal. try whistling or making gestures while her guys near and hopefully you have dental insurance. kicking your ass will land us nothing but a slap on the wrist. best beer in the world, enjoy it!
Here's my list before I start the video: 1. Do not be racist 2. Do not be homophobic 3. Do not be transphobic 4. Do not be rude 5. Do not insult Timmies 6. Do not stereotype us 7. Do not insult hockey, we will get mad even if we don't like it 8. Do not call us Americans 9. Do not be ableist
Allowed to give tips? They are expected, if you do not leave a tip to a sever you are considered cheap. Speaking your language, does not bother me. I think it is great you can speak maybe two or more languages, I can speak English only
As a indigenous young Canadian I appreciate "the not calling us indians"
Is "indians" a bad term or something derogatory?
Jazi Jazi if you’re talking about someone from India then no (I think that’s rather obvious) but if you’re talking about indigenous peoples then it’s absolutely offensive and has been used as a derogatory term against indigenous peoples for hundreds of years and was especially very commonly used during the period where (unfortunately) residential schools where ragingly popular with certain schools having slogans like “killing the Indian within the Indian”. It has a dark history and should be avoided when talking about indigenous peoples.
I'm Native Indian of Canada and I prefer Native Indian not indigenous person of Canada so take for yourself lady
Jazi Jazi well, it’s racists towards the native people here.
I agree and I’m partly indigenous. I’m in Alberta.

phaneendra rvr i don’t think that’s allowed anywhere mate
All while he drives and film. Big thing you don't do it Canada!
Long story short
Just use common sense and don’t break other people’s balls
Not perfect, but I love this Country
good say 👌❤️❤️😊
Thanks for the video Igor. I have lived in Canada for almost 4 years now, my experience however is a little bit different from what you have described here.

I believe he was refering to visitors and not residents my friend
@@gotyourreesespiecesbutterc4512 One thing I'm not proud of in Canada, is how stupid many of our ppl are.

Driving while on your phone is also something you shouldn't be doing while in Canada!
or anywhere.
"Do not use too much dark humour"..... Dude, my humour is darker than satan's soul. We aren't so soft that we'll get offended by a bit of dark humour. Racist 'humour', sure. Dark? Nahhh.
Actually you can use dark humor but only with friends if you know they are comfortable with that. I use dark humor all the time with my friends and family but I would never says dark humor to someone I'm not close to. Also some comedian uses dark humor and it's ok but they still get critizes sometimes
Just saying the word "black" offends someone.

@RedWave 2019 You shouldn't though. We have two mom's at our school who speak Spanish. 🤷 I don't care when they speak it to each other. Now if I was part of the conversation, then I'd be uncomfortable.
@RedWave 2019 Context would help the conversation though. Are there specific times you speak Spanish? I mean there's certain societal norms one has to follow. 1) Don't talk too loud when on your cellphone, 2) don't make phone calls in restaurants, etc.
@RedWave 2019 I think that should be ok. I'm ok with people speaking whatever language they want. I might be curious at first but I wouldn't be offended. If anything, I'd want to learn to speak Spanish. I used to have a friend in University from El Salvador. I didn't care when she spoke her native/first language. I have a lot of Chinese friends and I'm always learning their language, mostly Cantonese or Mandarin. As for the French speaking CANADIANS, it's easier for them to learn and speak Spanish. I found learning German to be easier and closer to English. So that's probably why that happens.
@RedWave 2019 French is mandatory until grade 10.
@RedWave 2019 and the way its taught is stupid
But we still are supposed to learn it
Canada is a baby; in comparison with other civilizations. Only one hundred and fifty years young, versus with a countries over thousands of civilizations histories.. politeness and trying to accommodate others, with glowing heart goes long way.
Respect. Totally to Canada.
Yewbdar Petros yes. Though we’ve only been independent since 1926. Also if Canada’s a baby would South Sudan be a fetus?
Canada has been around for thousands of years and many people here can trace their ancestry back just as far here. Hell Europeans started coming here in the 11th Century
Not all Canadians are obsessed with hockey
Personally I don't like Hockey or Celine Dion songs !
And I'm a Canadian from Quebec.

I'm from a Detroit suburb and prior to 9/11 it took about 20minutes to be in Windsor, Ontario. I worked for a member of the Canadian Parliament and lived in Ottawa. Here are a few things that I observed as an Anthropologist. Courtesies are very important to them more so than in the USA. So keep that in mind with dealing with them. Go out of your way to hold open doors for them even if they are 15 feet away. Don't smoke in public. You will get passive/aggressive coughs and hacks from people walking by. Don't bring up Meech Lake Accord (they were trying to get a Constitution and it didn't happen) Do not refer to Native peoples as "Indian" if you are using a generic term "Indigenous" is your best choice. They are more politically correct than Americans. Even something slightly questionable can be seen as offensive. Do not litter. They have always been more environmentally aware. I remember in the early 90s they were already starting to recycle. When in Quebec or French speaking areas attempt to speak French they will appreciate it. When the Quebecois/Franco-Ontarians etc realize you are not a Canadian they will speak English. If you are Canadian in the French speaking areas they will expect you to speak French. They can tell the difference ;) Beer is a big thing there for many folks. Don't make fun of it or their Health Care system-those like Hockey are sacred cows. If you have never been to Canada check it out it's an awesome country with diversity and natural beauty and super people. Just an FYI every year around the fourth of July and Canada Day July 1 Americans and Canadians gather near the Detroit river and have a joint fireworks display. It's a joint celebration and party shared on both sides. Peace from a friend in the USA.
Good post ... but ... the Meech Lake Accord?? You're dating yourself, Grandpa; nobody even remembers the Meech Lake Accord, except for a few political-scientists and ... old timers ... !
Nice
I appreciate but being an Indian let me know which country is best America or Canada .no doubt America is super power ful .but for living standard life
You are wrong about guns!
We are allowed to own guns, we just can't carry and display them in public!
I'm sure it's hard to cross the border with one though. My friend competed in the last Olympics in pistol shooting and she had to carry lots of permits to fly with her equipment.
@@mom.emma2010 Well, unless they are prohibited in Canada, you can bring most firearms through the border. For restricted firearms you will need a permit and an authorization from the gorvernment, but for the non-restricted firearms, all you need is a valid canadian permit. However, it's better to call before you come!
www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/import-importer-eng.htm
I heard it's actually harder to bring a canadian firearm to USA!
Well, she went to the Olympics in Brazil. 😛 She won a gold medal at the Commonwealth games too. I can't remember where that one took place.
That is correct
I am from the United States of America. I have been to Canada before. I show respect to everyone there and I knew that things are different there. I think that everything was explained perfectly in this video. Great job 👍. Thank you so much for posting this. Well done 👍.
Love your videos, I'm a fifth generation Canadian, and your spot on. There are many cultures here and it only works with respect of each other.

Remember that when you arrive in Canada you are given quite a lot of freedom to learn and make mistakes regarding these cultural norms. But as you spend more time and improve your language skills, Canadians will let you know if you are slow to learn these norms. What is tolerated when you land from the plane might not be after a while, especially by the persons you see frequently, like at work.
One key thing to remember, this is a country made up of minorities, and that was well understood by those in power... they also felt like they had little power since they felt like they were also in a minority. At least that was what every other minority was skilled at reminding them.
I was born and raised in Canada and I'm going to stay all of what you said is true we also don't like when other cultures try to push their culture on us. An we do get mad like anyone else we just do it in a more polite manner .
I hope everyone enjoys our country we just asked you leave it the way you find it amazing. Lol

Better get used to it, this will be a muslim country soon enough.

I’m a Canadian and when I went down to the states, I was being a bit clumsy and tripped and a group of people laughed at me. It was quite hard to enjoy my stay with an injured leg.
Guns are allowed. Conceal carry is not.
Absolutely not true. You must have a reason for a gun permit.
It is just impossible to be rude to Canadians, they are so nice and friendly. I am working as a personal interpretator for almost 10 years, met a lot of representatives of different nations, but Canadians are still the best people on this planet :D

Hey ive been watching your channel over a week now ,and i can't wait to consume more videos from you coz im supposed to go to to canada by the end of this month and im landing in calgary and probably spending the next 5 years up there. So i wanted to thank you for all advice that you give through your videos. Calgary seems to be a lovely city and i can't wait to enjoy it. ✌🏽
Saikou yaya Barry when you going and where you from?
I would like to mention that even though people don't appreciate someone forcing their belief system on them they will generally respect your right to follow your own customs and beliefs as long as you aren't infringing on their right to follow their beliefs. Canada is the only mosaic in the world, whereas the United States is a melting pot. In a mosaic this means you are encouraged to bring your culture with you to Canada. In Canada you are Canadian - (insert your nationality here). My Korean wife has been here 7 years and no one has ever discouraged her from being Korean, and thankfully so because Korean is part of who she is as a person.
I never thought gift giving would be considered bad! Really appreciate your videos, they’re very helpful.
As a Canadian ,one thing I hate is people who make videos on what not to do or say in Canada ! Lol just messing with you ! Cheers
Lmao
You forgot to say "sorry."
One thing about tipping... Yes, we tip, 15 % if service is good, or even ordinary. Which is a real pain because (in the province of Quebec, where I live) that means that your restaurant bill will be 30% more than the price on the menu as there is 15% sales tax (total Fed and prov taxes) plus the tip... Just insane.
I'm just curious - if I pay with a credit card, how would it be? In my country we use cards in 95% of time.
@@malyshevvasiliy9541 no difference what so ever. Using a credit car is just a method of payment, nothing else. There is no reason why it should be different. As a matter of fact some ( but very few) restaurants do refuse credit as the cost to them ( credit card can charge as much as 5 or 6 percent I’m told) they figure it’s just too much.
@@jeanjcaron if I pay in cash and I see total in check as 100(for example) then I add 15bucks as tips.
If I pay with a card , a waiter brings a small payment terminal with NFC and I just apply the card to a terminal and don't press any buttons on it.
So, how is it going in Canada when you pay with a card? Does customer press buttons in order to choose amount of money - w/tips or w/o tips?
Just a small question if you don't mind 🙂
@@malyshevvasiliy9541 yes indeed before you insert or swipe your card you will be asked if you want to add a tip and even have pre calculate amounts, for instance it will ask if you want to add 15, 20, or 25%. But beware, this percentage will be calculated on the price including taxes... in Quebec it is easy to figure out what 15% is exactlly as the total bill will show the provincial sales tax and the federal tax (GST or goods and services tax) by adding them, that is your 15% right there. The paper bill will show those three amounts 1. Total price of food 2. Provincial tax and 3. GST.

I love Canada because the country has the Heart of Love. Love that produce kindness, politeness, honest, friendly and helpful.
That's why is very important to make sure whatever we do or say doesn't offend anyone.
I visited so many countries, but the feeling and interactions I'm getting here "amazing".
Canada train people to be positive, face the challenge, and be happy all the time.
God Bless Canada, God bless Canadians 🤗
Canadian from Québec here...Never ever under any circonstance talk badly about the fact someone speak french in Canada. Language is a very touchy subject in Canada, especially in the eastern part of it and it has very heavy historical and political meaning you don't want to get into ! If someone speak french, respect it and even try to speak it, they will treat you with great respect for it and if they speak english, the same can be done. Also for my fellow Canadian, whatever you think about language and the souverainiste in Québec, being respectful to each other is more civilized !
I’m Canadian, and this is all true
In Toronto You must not drag a dead horse down Yonge Street on a Sunday

Some good points made Igor! good choice of topic.
Plz make video on new government rule for immigrants.
Himanshu koirala i wanna know what they said about immigrants, im about to move to Canada and i wanna know what are the rules there~~
The new rule is we don't like immigrants

There are english Canadian, french Canadian and A LOT of bilingual canadians, so you can freely speak whatever language you want, most people wont mine. Even more in big cities, where we have people from all around the world who all speak different language
Plz make a video on your journey to Canada . Which course you have done here and mention best undergraduate courses students should do in Canada
We (Canadians) are multi-cultural. This is good, but all of us born here promote our CANADIAN- ness first and foremost.
-Don't be sexist
-Don't be age-ist
-Don't be racist
- Have a sense of humour bordering on the wacky/warped/quick-witted/simultaneously self-deprecating and self-promotional..... If you don't "get" British humour, you're sunk
-You can talk smack about hockey but be aware you will get flak... Putting down teams you do not like and those that do like them IS a national pastime, however
- tip wait staff, hairdressers, drivers, gardeners etc.- any service person. You can give gifts to teachers, travel agents, the nice lady at your dental office.....not anyone in authority over you or your business
- MOST Canadians do not care what colour/race/religion/gender/sexual orientation/political viewpoint/original culture, etc. you are, have, or come from as long as you are a decent person BUT what we DO care about is:
For crying out loud!!- bathe frequently and wear underarm deodorant daily!!!! (Canadians do NOT want to smell your body odour!)
-Winter happens, learn to love it
-be polite- hold the door, let people in your lane, let someone else go ahead of you, smile, say Hello, apologize if you bump into someone or get in someone's way, be helpful
-drink tea or coffee like it's essential to life, almost constantly, every day
- don't be violent- never find a permanent solution to a temporary problem
- embrace other people's perspectives and treat other humans how you would like to be treated
- being friendly takes nothing away from you so try to spread joy

Piss off your political correctness is nauseating
You can bring in certain firearms legally in to Canada you have to declare them fill out paperwork register the firearms before you come and pay whatever fees they want with the Canadian immigration face us do not care for and will react rather proactively on is if you come to the border without the clearing firearms they are not particularly friendly with that and will make your life quite unpleasant including adverse just taking your firearms and maybe banning you from future entry
What do you mean guns are not allowed here? Plenty of firearms in Canada. Around 35% of population owns firearms. Bringing guns over any border in civilized world will get you in trouble. Try to take a firearm from Canada to the USA.
i thought its illegal to have guns in canada, unsure about calgary
its legal. you need to take a course, get a license and you have no past issues with the law you go out and get a rifle/shotgun. handgun needs additional course and additional license, but this is harder to get.
We are also willing to help out strangers in need. Remember Newfoundland during the chrisis of 911? People were opening their homes to strangers after the airplanes were grounded. We are pretty much like this across the country.
Thanks for the advice once again. Keep them volgs coming.
not to give gifts..... not heard of here.... and.... manors are not the same all over Canada....Victoria BC are much more polite than even , Vancouver BC
I believe it is good information for all visiting Canada to know. After all, "forwarned is forearmed".
Also about the sorry and whatnot, that s true, but that s for if you collide with someone in the street or don't have enough money for something....or some other offense. Just ....do unto others as you want them to do unto you. So... if you're rude to someone, the'll be rude right back, If you're rude to a waiter or retail person... You will get terrible service and get kicked out of a store maybe...if things escalate. If you are polite... you'l get good service and people will be nice to you.
Nice video buddy! Only three comments: (1) liking hockey is a bit of a stereotype (2) You forgot to mention racism. Being racist of mentioning racist comments is generally considered highly offensive and can very quickly get you fired or otherwise in trouble of the law. (3) Canadians do enjoy humour, dark or otherwise, and are generally accepting of it. Some of the best comedians ever come from Canada, despite it's low population. Best of success!
I am Canadian, dont listen to this guy, people are fine with you having an opinion, that is if you are anywhere east of ontario, which is where you want to go anyway if you want a good scenery.
Bahahahhaha scenery in the east? Everyone knows BC is where it's at. Vancouver island here
I like your view on things, hello from Alberta EH!
Hi from Ireland love Canada I think Canadians are lovely people so friendly I used to buy stuff online from a store in Calgary and they were the nicest people you could deal with so helpful omg I can't say enough about Canadians going next year when the virus eases down please god 🙏
Never say Canadians are like Americans you will get everyone around you looking at you and will leave a negative look on yourself
Yes I was born and raised in Canada and you nailed it
tiping in is big, whether it be resturants, cabs, bars, even the odd package carrier, (even fedex employees, lol), some hotels, babysitters, movers, (basically service industry sector)
Which camera you are using🤔🤔😊😊??
Why is everyone so hung up on labels? If you live in Canada, you're Canadian first and your heritage, although extremely important, is second. Also, the name Indian was never meant as a derogatory title. It is was Columbus who used the name to describe Native North American people, as he truly believed he had reached India. Everyone seems to be so worried about political correctness which is ridiculous. I am a first generation Canadian, who when people ask me what I am, my answer is always Canadian. If they ask me my heritage, I will gladly tell them that as well. I am so glad to live in a country with such a marvellous heritage as Canada.
Nice video! I also say to new comers, make an attempt to chat in English, practice English or french. Live in different areas of the city. Dont just live next door to the store that sells food from your home country. Canada is a long ways from ethnic blending, an sometimes seem very district ethnic oriented. but the future generation can change that. My best advice to new folks. Join a rec sports group, Meet new folks. diversify your beliefs. Forget those old world beliefs that might segregate and network! Networking is the best way to learn about education, get hired, advance a career. It seems tough at first but keep doing your best!
Thanks for your advise Igor.
I’m Canadian and I don’t really care about hockey and also personally I don’t like it when people force religions.
Pls can help to get scholarship admission in canada ??
Very strange. While abroad, I've met loads of insulting, hot tempered, arrogant Canadians . . . but in the classroom, they're nice and friendly.
So true. Spent 10 years in Japan and 90% of the Canadians I met there were the most rude and racist people I've ever met.
In class they know you can help them for some class work.
Actually, I was referring to Canadian English teachers abroad.
@@ridgemondhigh4891 Maybe they weren't really teachers? I mean, organizations that take teachers to Japan are famous for favoring native speakers, no matter if they are teachers or not. They think that the fact that you speak a language is enough for you to teach it, and that attracts the wrong crowd
You are going to face rude ppl everywhere. ❤️ Are you sure they weren't Americans pretending to be Canadian!? 😋🤔😉

fucked up as the USA with our guns. We cannot legally carry the handguns around but you can still own them.
Thanks Igor for the information, can u also make a video on internet connectivity and mobile connection plans etc.
The city mostly has cable internet and they use Wi-Fi because everyone has mobile devices. People outside of the city need a dish and a DSL internet which is not much different. The plan you choose is based on how much bandwidth you need. It is not a problem to get Internet anywhere. In other words cable/set top box, dsl/dish, satellite/mobile devices. Although mobile devices also use WiFi.
Yeah i would like to know how internet works and what are the services offered ; how good/bad the connexion is, and what can you expect from it when you are in need of 100mb/s upload for instance.
@@saikouyayabarry9665 Shaw Cable is up to 150 mbps download and 15 mbps upload for their internet but cable providers offer packages that group Internet and television (these are two separate dishes with DSL/Satellite outside of the city). Mega bytes.
@@HPCthulhu2011 thanks. meanwhile ive been digging about it and i found that telus can provide you up to 150mbps, can you get access to this technology no matter wherever you are in calgary,or is it just limited to some specific places?
@@saikouyayabarry9665 There is cable in the city (Telus or else Shaw) and DSL towers for outside of the city. The DSL is good but the dish has to face the tower properly which can be an issue but they set it up for you. I'm not sure if the internet/television cable plan reduces bandwidth in half instead of all to the internet but most people pay $75 a month for the duel package. Yeah you can be 100 miles outside of the city and still get high speed internet.
I wish everybody would respect our culture in AMERICA like this Canadian wants in Canada.We don't want people from other country's cramming their culture down our throats either
You don’t get it man. Here in Canada it’s "live and let live" . People can bring their culture all they want. They don’t put it down your throat man. That’s what right wing propaganda want you to believe though
One important thing Igor forgot to mention: staring at others, especially strangers. While in some cultures staring is considered acceptable to a certain extent, in Canada this is not the case. While it's true that Canadians are open and welcoming, they can also be self-conscious and private, and staring at someone can make them feel uncomfortable. If you look at someone for more than a second or two, they may think that you are either looking at them in a sexually suggestive context or that there is something odd or weird about their appearance or clothing that makes them stand out in a negative way. For this reason, even if you are curious of what someone is doing, it is much better to take several shorter glances than one long stare, because looking at someone in an overly deliberate way will be quite awkward and can certainly make them uncomfortable.
That sounds like many people are insecure about something in Canada. People are not confident in themselves. Happens a lot, lately I just say "What's Up?" and I find out that a person who watched my TH-cam channel didn't ever think we could meet on a street 😆
Keep up the awesome work :).
Aboriginal is the word for the First People. The Natives. If there is an English person visiting your home ,all speak English in your home. Otherwise you can speak your own language. There are hundreds of different languages and cultures in Canada, (my family alone have 20 different dialects and cultures) Aboriginal, Polish, Russian, Danish, German Jamaica n, African, etc Canadians love to learn other cultures, exspecially learning a new food dish! My friend, is from Africa and she taught me to make a curry fish dish! I make her cinnamon buns with maple syrup! Lol it's a new world here, I'm 2nd generation and my children are first cause their father is from Hungary, immigrated to Canada in the 70s. Have a wonderful day! God's country. Be positive, negativity is not welcomed.
Canadians can get a gun with a licence after checks i understand
Yep and we can even shoot them

Americans have the right to bear arms. We Canadians have the right to bare arms.
I am a 61 year old Canadian. If a Canadian says "Sorry" he or she does mean it. Were not Americans who might say "sorry" and never mean it. Maybe french Canadians say "sorry" but don't mean it.

Igor talk about studying as a pilot and how to get PGWP after completing the course. The duration it can take and also which schools to attend
why would you want to be a pilot ? to remake 911
Don't say we are anything like Americans in any way
Canadians will allow you to walk on them to a point. If you are rude or trying to push your opinions as facts with no room for new concepts then get ready for some cold shoulders. Canadians are afraid to tell you how your acting so if they do then you must be really out of line and if you refuse to shape up then things will not be easy for you. As communities often talk to each other about people and it will only be a matter of time before you find your self not being treated so kindly at stores and shops of the area and people will stop talking to you.
Where ever you go be careful about criticising the culture and customs. Pay attention to the common manners of the country and expect them to be different from your own.
And speaking languages other than English publicly varies in acceptability across the country. It's the norm in Toronto to hear conversations in a wide variety of languages. In Quebec, expect low level hostility if you aren't speaking French.
Most of Europe this rules apply really. Same Ireland, Norway, sweeden, Germany and many more countrys
nordic europe not germany. germans change very slowly has huge gender pay gap dont really accept gays etc.
Well put buddy!
English is my first language but I'm quite fluent in French if I'm talking on the phone with someone in French I don't care what someone else thinks speak whatever language you want the other person will simply have to mind their own business
you forgot few things, don’t cut people off or drive under the limit in the passing lane. it’s one way to have a pile of cars honking and giving you double kick stands as passing you.
when talking to strangers stay in your zone. we use the boundary unwritten rules here. if i can smell your breath your going to get nugged away or told to back up.
we treat our ladies with respect and as equal. try whistling or making gestures while her guys near and hopefully you have dental insurance. kicking your ass will land us nothing but a slap on the wrist.
