I. Accommodation
We all know that Canada is a very livable country, with a population of just over 30 million, and its architecture is more spectacular than that of China. International students can choose three ways of accommodation: school dormitory, host family and off-campus rental. If students have no relatives or friends in the local area, it is recommended to live in a university dormitory, but the dormitory fee is slightly more expensive than renting a house outside, but the dormitory accommodation will provide western food. Secondly, it will be cheaper to live in a host family. At the same time, students will be treated as part of the host family, their daily diet will be taken care of, and they can also use the equipment in the house. However, it is better to suggest that students take the initiative to help with some housework. If you rent a house outside, you can share it with several people, such as some apartment units, city houses and detached houses. Sharing will reduce the cost, but it will also reduce your communication opportunities with local people. Therefore, when choosing accommodation, you can handle it according to your own situation.
Two. medical care
General diseases can be diagnosed free of charge in Canadian hospitals, but they need to pay about 20% for medicine. Moreover, if it is not an emergency, it usually takes a long time to see a doctor in Canada, which is more troublesome than our country and the medicine is more expensive. Therefore, it is suggested that before studying in Canada, you must bring enough commonly used drugs to treat colds, fever and falls to prevent problems before they happen.
Three. life
Canadians are more direct and frank. If they don't agree, they usually refuse in person. Therefore, international students should adapt as soon as possible after they go. If they need help, they should ask as soon as possible. If they don't ask, Canadians will think you don't need it, so they won't take the initiative to help. Therefore, students who are introverted and not good at expression should be cheerful and take the initiative to communicate with others, and your language level will also improve quickly. I want to remind you that in the eyes of Canadians, silence is impolite, so it is very important to say hello and say hello more.
Fourth, other common sense.
When you go abroad for the first time, you'd better bring a draft and open an account in a local bank in Canada. It will be done in half an hour. The remittance fees of different banks are different. I suggest you choose after you arrive. And it is more convenient to open an account in a local bank. Canadians have to make an appointment in advance for many things, such as business, personal affairs, job interviews, dinners, and even visiting friends' homes. Canada doesn't welcome uninvited guests.
