Whether they are international students studying in Canada or immigrants who have settled there, once they have lived in the country for a period of time and return home, they encounter various stark contrasts between Chinese and Canadian cultures. These are the various "adjustments" one experiences in Canada.
"Adjusting" to Canada's blue skies and white clouds, thereby forgetting the taste of smog
Whether in large or medium-sized cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, or Ottawa, or in smaller cities like Edmonton, Winnipeg, or Victoria, the sky is almost always blue, except on rainy days.
"Adjusting" to Canadians being overly polite to all strangers
In Canadian cities or rural areas, whether encountering supermarket clerks, school teachers, or police officers, cleaners, or doormen, whenever eyes meet, they will proactively say, "Hello," "Nice to see you," etc.
"Adjusting" to the fact that many foods in Canada are "organic"
Most food in Canadian supermarkets is Organic, and consumers can purchase and eat it with peace of mind. Unlike in China, where products become "luxury goods" with skyrocketing prices once an organic label is attached, organic food in Canada remains "high quality and affordable."
"Adjusting" to Canada's abundant and pollution-free produce
Canada has extremely rich natural resources, including American ginseng, ice wine, maple syrup, deep-sea fish oil, seal oil, king crab, lobster, and Arctic sea cucumber. These are all highly nutritious, and the vast majority are wild-caught.
"Adjusting" to the endless beautiful scenery everywhere in Canada
There is beautiful scenery everywhere in Canada, which boasts over 140 famous tourist attractions such as Niagara Falls, Banff National Park, the Royal Ontario Museum, Casa Loma, the Rocky Mountains, the Columbia Icefield, and Blue Mountain Ski Resort.
"Adjusting" to teachers in Canada always playing with the children
Unlike education in China, Canada has no endless homework or exams. Even during class time, teachers take children to catch fish or chase butterflies. There are also a wide variety of extracurricular activities and summer camps, allowing children who come to Canada to be so happy they forget to return home, learning through play.
Despite many "adjustments" still passionate about immigrating to Canada
Canada is one of the most popular immigration destinations in the world. Among these, the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program stands out among numerous immigration projects due to its simple application requirements, low risk, fast processing, and the ability to obtain a green card in one step. However, this program only has 1200 spots for the Chinese region. Facing the massive Chinese immigration market, these spots are undoubtedly rare, and they are snapped up every time they are released. As 2016 approaches, the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program is set to restart. Facing limited spots, Chinese applicants should seize the opportunity early!
