Canada Travel Tips

💧 Tap Water

With 9% of the global freshwater resources, you can access free and safe tap water in Canada. Tap water is so fresh, safe, and clean in Canada that using bottled water is not recommended over tap water. If you’re wondering whether it is safe to drink water from the bathroom tap, yes! It’s the water from kitchen tap water.

 

💰 Tipping

Leaving a tip is optional, but it’s expected. Differently, In Canada and the USA, not tipping is considered rude. 15-2-% gratuities on the total bill (before tax) are customary in Canada depending on the received service: poor service gets less and more for excellent service. Waiters have to share tips.

 

🈯 Language

Canada has two official languages: English and French. English is the native language of most Canadians; approximately 85% of Canadians speak English. French is the preferred language in Quebec and Nunavut. However, services are delivered in both languages.

 

💸 Cash

You can easily change currencies into Canadian dollars at banks, shopping malls, supermarkets, gas stations, and restaurants. Looking for some currency in hand, there’re more than 65,000 ATMs in Canada known as automatic banking machines (ABM).

 

👗 Dress

Canadians almost prefer casual dress. Jeans and t-shirts for summer and wool jackets in the winter! Things in Canada tend to be very informal.

 

🌐 Wi-Fi

You can access public free Wi-Fi everywhere in Canada, but don’t count on it in every respect. In large cities, you can find many hotspots, but everything differs in the countryside.

 

🔒 Banned Websites

Canada’s government follows slight censorship. Websites hosted in Canada and in other jurisdictions should pursue local laws.

 

🔌 Adaptors

Unlike the 220 volts used in Europe, all electrical appliances in Canada, Quebec, and almost everywhere in North America run on 120 V.

So, Canada and the US plugs are the same of types A and B. Plug type A and B both have two flat parallel pins, with a grounding pin in plug type B. European plugs may not be used in Canada.

 

👮 Safety

According to the low crime rates, Canada is of the safest countries to visit. Everyone, including travelers, is respected in Canada, which is famous for its peacemaking diplomacy. Canada is generally a safe destination. Rest assured, you’ll probably face no big deals!

 

ℹ️ Cultural tips

⚠️ Culture in Canada is a blend of British, French, and American. Take rules of conduct more serious when you travel to Canada.

 

⚠️ Remember that shaking hands is the standard form of greeting in Canada, where the people are more reserved and polite than Americans. Of course, firm handshakes! Eye contact also works here.

 

⚠️ One more thing, Canadians much care for punctuality. Being late for more than 15 min is considered impolite. However, try not to arrive early.

 

⚠️ Eating in the public area while you’re walking is almost far from etiquette!

 

🚭 Smoking is prohibited in most public places!
