I'm a born and raised Candian and want to say I LOVE your channel. It's so helpful to hear your perspectives on Canada. I think long-time Canadians take so many of these attributes as given and I wish everyone knew more about these qualities. Us Canadians are VERY conflict avoidant so maybe it would help with some workplace issues caused by simple cultural differences.
In their efforts to maintain harmony, they often navigate conflicts delicately, making it challenging to discern the correct course of action. Occasionally, their communication style may come across as subtly indirect, yet it stems from a genuine desire to avoid confrontation. However, coming from a different cultural background, I perceive this approach as somewhat contradictory. In my culture, transparency is valued, whether things are going awry or smoothly. Contrastingly, in Canada, despite external challenges, there's a remarkable resilience reflected in their ability to maintain a positive demeanor. However, adapting to this cultural norm can pose its own set of challenges.
As a person who grew up here, these are spot-on! The toughest ones for the unfortunate introverts are small talk, collaboration (you work better alone yet you're pulled into group brainstorms that literally could've been more efficiently done in a smaller setting but noooo, they like you to think everyone else 'helped'😒), performance reviews (again, depending on the company, it's a lot of self-glorifying BS-writing an outline on what you did and how you helped others), and teambuilding that range from cringey barely-bearable (though extroverts seem to enjoy these more..!aka happy hour but fear not, there's no absolute pressure to drink if alchol isn't your thing bc 'we all nice people').
If you do not have quick learning ability, you can't work in Canada. Someone like me, who can't learn too quickly, will really struggle for a job. Even for a dishwashing job, you need to have high confidence, the best communication skills, and a quick learning attitude. Due to a lack of communication skills, being introverted, and being a slow learner, I am struggling here in Canada, and it has been hell for me. My degrees with academic excellence are going in vain.
This is such a useful video, not just for professionals in Canada but anywhere, really. There are some good pointers here on how to have positive workplace relations.
Thank you for this informative video. I'd like to know more about the dress code at work in Canada. It certainly depends on the company but it seems that most people work in a laid-back environment.
You guys are great. Love your perspective and general knowledge. You are a truly stand alone act. When you start getting advice from Portugal on Canadian job market. I change the channel.
In my opinion, small talk doesn’t involve talking about the other party’s family too much. Only and unless they have chosen to share some details with you in the past, like “it’s my daughter’s birthday party this weekend so we are preparing for that” , this is when you can ask the person then how it went. Other times, it’s seen as too personal to ask about these matters with co-workers.
As someone born in Canada, being a team player is an extremely important (maybe the MOST important) quality. If you want to excel, you can think of your behavior like a captain on a team sport. A sports captain isn't simply the best person on the team but also a leader on and off the field and supports their teammates. Outward displays of competitive behavior are not acceptable and will make people trust you less. That being said, like your other videos have mentioned, us Canadians are nice but can sometimes feel fake. Of course Canadians are competitive and want to do better than our colleagues, we just do it discretely. I work in the US now where being outwardly competitive is much more socially acceptable at work.
I am Canadian and i find Americans nicer ... like child ... Toronto does not define Canada with 50 % immigrants not born in Canada and mainly asians ( China , India )
Your videos are so Useful for people who are coming to Canada in near future ,Don't get Disappoint on Views just Keep posting and soon monetization will also happen I guess it's on some Watch time and 40k subs
It largely depends on the area of the city where you'd want to open it, as well as how many other grocery stores are in the area! you might want to look into specializing your store as well.
Very useful info Work culture in Canada is similar to US companies, much nicer though Not hitting on your colleagues is tough though for me. If I find a rich beautiful lady, will definitely try. Soooo looks like job in Canada is not my glass of wine 😝😜
"Just don't get drunk and hit on your co-workers". What?!! I'm coming home. Just kidding. Thanks for the video, the most useful part is probably about the shit sandwich, as we tend to memorize the closing part of a conversation the best. Now I know that I have to keep my eye on the middle section. Interesting.
Do people in canada usually have more than 10 days vacation days provided by employees? are Canadians taking their vacation time? I want to compare this to Europe
10 vacation days is usually a starting point for many organizations. Some companies offer 3 weeks right away, and some tech companies offer unlimited vacation
@@MakeThatChange Thanks, do people negotiate in normal companies like 20 vacation days. 10-15 days seems like nothing. Do non tech companies offer more than 15 days? And also do Canadians take that vacation time or working like US?
4 weeks of vacation right off the bat is less common, unless you work for a very modern and innovative company. The typical starting point is 2 weeks vacation ( 10 days). I do recommend to negotiate vacation time, however not all companies can grant it since they have “equality” policies, and vacation time is often given based in tenure ( loyal employees get more time off)
@@MakeThatChange Thanks for getting back to me. I understand starting point when you are a junior. What about when you are a senior in some industry, can you then negotiate straight away even when you didn't work for that company? Can you then get easily 20 days or more? I heard from my friend he is getting 30 days of vacation time. Also what is personal leave in Canada? Is it something different than sick leave? How many days of personal leave companies are giving? Here in UK we have 5 weeks right from the start even as a junior. Going to Canada to work whole life basically not having time off is big no no for me, but I heard if you have many years of experience then you can negotiate easily 5 weeks. How does it look from your perspective? Thanks in advance.
@@MakeThatChange I already live where taxes are the lowest in Canada, if you aint making minimum $25 an hr here you aint living, and even at that you will have to stay pretty tame in your lifestyle.
@Kassie H im guessing you are in alberta. I used to live in alberta. But boy is alberta job market is dead for most corporate jobs. And the work culture is super toxic with unpaid ot as a given. I moved to Ontario and here things are the opposite. Ontario has changed to be more inclusive and respect work life balance. In ontario it is illegal for employers to call you outside business hours by law.
@@asadb1990 the majority of jobs I see here pay under what the Federal Govt data says is a middle class wage. I know we are expected to accept less as normal now. I am grateful to be old and unhealthy, I feel sorry for the nation Canada has become.
@@asadb1990 these woke ideals will destroy Canada, what happened to work, work and if need be work. Eliminate all government subsidies and tell people they can get a second and if need be a third job, no more government monies.
The people who work in technologies are so sick of having short-term jobs. The incompetent managers are afraid of losing their jobs too. These managers try to replace any many people as possible so these managers will be the last people in an organization. Many times, these greedy and incompetent managers were so afraid that they prefered to hire cheap but 'no inguish' people from China to make their positions in the company even more stable. That helped China very very much. If we are not careful, we will sell our countries to China in no time. To the CEO and rich people, profit is the only thing that matters, nothing else (even 10 years from now we will be totally dependent on China, our children will have to work for China if they have any skills left, and China will control our countries politically, economically, socially, ...). If we fall, it is because we are too greedy and we are short-sighted.

You guys are awesome.
I wonder if setting up a grocerie store in Toronto is profitable?
Do you know where could I get the information I need?😊👍
You would need to do a market research
It largely depends on the area of the city where you'd want to open it, as well as how many other grocery stores are in the area! you might want to look into specializing your store as well.
@@MakeThatChange I know, what I don't know is where I could get the information from?
I am intact Job Canada
What are the working hours in general in canada
Depends on the job and career type…..
Very useful info
Work culture in Canada is similar to US companies, much nicer though

Might be fun for men but it is really annoying and can be downright insulting to women.
