Cultural Attributes
Despite close ties to the United States, Canadians emphasize they are not Americans living in a northern country. To be bilingual in Canada means to be able to speak both English and French. An anglophone is someone whose mother tongue is English. A francophone is a French speaker. There are regional variations in the language. English speakers in some areas punctuate their sentences with the word Quebec slang, which uses many English words, called joual. Newfoundlanders use many words that are unique to their province. Success is measured by personal achievement. Canadians tend to be self-confident and open to discussions on general topics; however, they hold their personal privacy off limits to all but their closest friends.
There is tension between the French province of Quebec and other Canadian provinces. Citizens of Quebec tend to be more private and reserved. Generally, Canadians admire educated and skilled people.
Cultural trends in modern Canada reveal a commitment to peace and acceptance of all people. The government exercises considerable authority to ensure that such remains the case, as can be seen by the fact that the government provides not only education but also health care and other social systems for its citizens. While some debate the effectiveness of the national control of social issues, the underlying principle is the desire to ensure that all Canadians have equal opportunity to speak openly, think independently, and receive equal opportunity.
Perhaps in no other national issue can this commitment be better observed than in the long-running challenge of the country's roots coming from two major world powers at the time of European settlement: England and France. The province of Quebec is firmly rooted in the French language and culture, as are large portions of several other provinces, while the rest of the country claims a more British-centered heritage. In order to preserve peace, tolerance and acceptance have become the watchwords of the more successful political powers.
One consequence of this attitude of tolerance has been that Canada is seen as a safe landing place by immigrants from subcultures from around the world. This has led to a population of great diversity, not only in the country of origin but more importantly in basic belief systems.
Another area where the commitment to peace is manifest is in Canadian military operations and commitments. Although it is a very large country with a relatively small population, the Canadian armed forces have played critical roles in world conflicts over the past century. These roles have changed over time, from a more active stance in the great World Wars to their current service as peacekeeping forces in various hot spots around the world.
Peace, tolerance, and a commitment to the equal acceptance of all - are values that reflect Canada's history, is their present approach to life as a nation, and a road map that they hope will lead them through an uncertain future.

How do people greet each other in Canada?
A handshake with direct eye contact is standard for both men and women, and in Quebec adults might also exchange a polite kiss on each cheek.
Do
- Look directly at the person and maintain eye contact while shaking hands
- Wait until your host uses your first name before doing the same
- In Quebec, use the more formal form of "you" until invited to do otherwise
- Refer to people by their academic degrees or honors, especially in Quebec
Don’t
- Don't assume you must address people by formal titles outside Quebec
Good to know
- Men need not wait for a woman to extend her hand first
- Women who are good friends may share a brief hug; reuniting family members often hug in greeting and farewell
- French Canadians shake hands more often, even on a second encounter the same day
- If uncertain about formal meetings, ask a trusted host or colleague in advance
What are the dining customs in Canada?
Canadians eat three meals a day, with supper/dinner (5:30-7:30pm) being the largest, and value directness and polite table manners.
Do
- Bring an inexpensive gift such as flowers, chocolates, or a bottle of wine when invited to dinner
- Offer main dishes to others before serving yourself
- Say "No, thank you" if you prefer not to eat something, and "Thank you" to accept
- Place your knife and fork by the side of your plate if pausing, or on the plate when finished
Don’t
- Don't put your elbows on the table or speak with your mouth full
- Don't chew noisily or slurp
- Don't snap your fingers at waiters—raise your hand or say "excuse me"
- Don't eat or drink in the street, on public transport, or in shops, banks, offices, or post offices
Good to know
- The hostess customarily begins the meal first
- Ask the host what time to arrive and whether to dress casually or formally
- A thank-you call or note a few days after a dinner party is appreciated; reciprocate with an invitation within a few weeks
- Salt and white vinegar, and gravy, are popular condiments for French fries
What etiquette should I know when visiting a Canadian home?
Canadians are informal but appreciate courtesy; call ahead before visiting and be genuine and open with your hosts.
Do
- Call in advance to confirm the family will be home
- Arrive on time, though 15-30 minutes late is acceptable for larger social events
- Politely decline refreshments if you're not in the mood—this is not offensive
Don’t
- Don't wear strong perfumes or colognes to a business meeting; scents are prohibited in medical offices
- Don't bring white lilies (reserved for funerals) or red roses (which imply romance)
Good to know
- A gift is not expected, but a small bouquet or a light dessert is a nice gesture
- Watch for lulls in conversation or signs of fatigue as a cue to leave
How should I dress in Canada?
Canadians generally dress informally and casually, especially outside larger cities, though business settings can require formal attire.

Good to know
- Blue jeans and T-shirts are the most popular casual clothing for all ages
- Larger cities follow the fashion trends of Paris and New York
- Jewelry is worn casually by women and increasingly by men; men from conservative areas are unlikely to wear necklaces or earrings
What gestures should I be aware of in Canada?
Canadians value personal space and there are a few gesture guidelines to keep in mind despite their informality.
Do
- Point at places or things, but gesture toward people with a slight head movement instead
- Nod your head slightly to show agreement and attentiveness
- Stand at least an arm's length away after greeting someone
Don’t
- Don't point directly at people
- Don't use a thumbs-down gesture in Quebec—it is offensive
- Don't crowd Canadians during conversation
Good to know
- Standing when a woman enters the room is seen as courteous
- Shake hands with the right hand if possible

Historical Eras
Indigenous & Norse Contact
15000 BCE – 1497
For millennia before European arrival, diverse Indigenous peoples — including the Haudenosaunee, Algonquin, Cree, and Pacific Coast nations — established complex cultures, trade networks, and governance systems across the continent. Around AD 1000, Norse explorer Leif Ericson reached the tip of Newfoundland, establishing the settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows, the earliest known European presence in North America, though sustained Norse colonization never followed.
Exploration & New France
1497 – 1763
John Cabot's 1497 voyage launched European claims to eastern Canada, followed by Jacques Cartier's explorations of the St. Lawrence in the 1530s and Samuel de Champlain's founding of Quebec City in 1608. France built a colonial empire centered on the fur trade, Catholic missionary activity, and alliances with Indigenous nations. The era ended with British forces defeating the French at the 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham and the subsequent Treaty of Paris transferring New France to Britain.
British North America
1763 – 1867
Britain consolidated control through measures including the Quebec Act of 1774, which preserved French civil law and Catholic rights, and absorbed tens of thousands of United Empire Loyalists fleeing the American Revolution after 1776. The Constitutional Act of 1791 divided the territory into Upper and Lower Canada. Decades of political agitation — including the Rebellions of 1837–38 — and Lord Durham's subsequent report advocated responsible government, setting Canada on a path toward self-governance.
Confederation & Expansion
1867 – 1914
The British North America Act of 1867 united Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into the Dominion of Canada under Prime Minister John A. Macdonald. Manitoba, British Columbia, and Prince Edward Island joined within a decade, and the Canadian Pacific Railway, completed in 1885, bound the nation coast to coast. Mass immigration to the Prairie provinces and suppression of the Métis-led North-West Resistance of 1885 shaped this era of rapid territorial consolidation.
World Wars & Depression
1914 – 1945
Canada entered both World Wars as a British ally, with over 60,000 Canadians killed in the First World War — a sacrifice that forged a distinct national identity and led to full legislative independence through the Statute of Westminster in 1931. The Great Depression of the 1930s devastated the Prairie wheat economy and gave rise to new political movements including the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. Canada's decisive contributions in the Second World War, including the D-Day landings at Juno Beach, cemented its standing as a sovereign middle power.
Modern Canada
1945 – present
Post-war Canada built a welfare state including universal healthcare, absorbed waves of immigration that transformed its multicultural character, and repatriated its constitution from Britain in 1982 under Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, adding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Quebec nationalism — peaking in two sovereignty referendums in 1980 and 1995 — remained the defining political tension alongside growing recognition of Indigenous rights and reconciliation efforts. Canada today is a G7 economy and founding NATO member navigating a deeply integrated relationship with the United States.
Overview
Canada and the United States have many major geographic features in common. They share the Rocky Mountains, the Interior Plains, four of the Great Lakes, the Appalachian Highlands, and many rivers. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the stories of the exploration and settlement of both of these nations are closely interwoven. The complete history of neither Canada nor the United States can be studied without reference to the history of the other. Each is today an independent nation.

When a child loses a tooth they put tooth under their pillow and the Tooth Fairy comes.
In the Yellowknife Dene (Northwest Territories) area, when a child loses a tooth the mother or grandmother takes the tooth and puts it in a tree and then the family dances around it. This makes certain that the new tooth will grow in as straight as a tree.
The most extreme tides occur in the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. There the water level rises and falls more than 50 feet every six hours. The tide here comes in so fast that it can overtake a person trying to outrun it.

Geography and Environment
- Terrain
- mostly plains with mountains in west and lowlands in southeast
- Climate
- The climate varies greatly in the many diversified regions ranging from frigid to mild, but Canada generally may be described as lying in the cool Temperate Zone, with long, cold winters
- Natural Hazards
- continuous permafrost in north is a serious obstacle to development; cyclonic storms form east of the Rocky Mountains, a result of the mixing of air masses from the Arctic, Pacific, and North American interior, and produce most of the country's rain and snow east of the mountains
- Current Environmental Issues
- air pollution and resulting acid rain severely affecting lakes and damaging forests; metal smelting, coal-burning utilities, and vehicle emissions impacting on agricultural and forest productivity; ocean waters becoming contaminated due to agricultural, industrial, mining, and forestry activities

Education
- Literacy Definition
- Age 15 and over can read and write
Because Canadian schools are funded and overseen at the federal, provincial, and local government levels, the quality of the structures and classroom resources can vary somewhat. In general, schools are in good shape and are run well.
Perhaps of more interest, schools can vary their curriculum significantly. For example, at Vimy Ridge Academy in Edmonton School District in Alberta, students learn hockey skills for half of the school day. Some schools are taught in French, others in English. Some have Christian agendas, others are Islamic, and at least one concentrates on both.
Most schools require their students to bring their own lunches from home, and those who live close enough to the school sometimes will walk home for lunch and come back to school for the afternoon session. A few schools do have a cafeteria, mostly at the high school level. There is no national school lunch or breakfast program for Canadian schools.
