Customer Reviews

Very helpful

I was in the process of immigrating to Canada and this book was among the two most helpful ones. The other one was "Live and Work in USA and Canada". After reading them I had a pretty good idea what Canadian culture is like - things that you won't normally see on CNN. Both books are highly recommended.

A must for complete background info

Culture Shock, Canada I found to be a very useful book which gave me an excellent background to Canada. The book explores the people, the history, the terrain and almost every other issue which makes Canada, Canada and Canadians, Canadians. An essential book to gain a complete understanding of Canada and it's people. I am immigrating to Canada and found the book to be very interesting background reading.

prosaic and illuminating insights into nat character

Another in the excellent Culture Shock series. Good book for the visitor, particularly anyone planning a longer stay. Focuses on the everyday aspects of national character and patterns of living.

Very informative and funny.

This book talks alot about the way things are done in Canada... everything from "Do they like football as much as Americans?" to how much it costs to build a house (based on the rates as of publication). It's a very interesting book. It mostly compares Canada with the U.S. as it's authors are from those countries, but it definately will provide you with some insight. I highly recommend it.
