How is life in Canada? How are immigrants treated like?
Depends on where you come from, what your past experiences were, and where you land in Canada.But remember Quebec is the hardest place to get started as Immigrant. I will say no more do your own research.And don't have high hopes if you were successful before coming to Canada unless you have millions in your bank.Socially Canada has great programs and at least in theory treats everyone equally. But it doesn't happen.I'm writing anonymously because I don't want anyone I know read this next part I'm about to say,I came to Canada as a student and spent my own hard earned money to pursue masters. That's the price I have to pay or so I thought to become a part of this society.But no, once I graduated I failed in job interviews even though I did well. Clearly qualified because I had experience working the same field in the US. So I ended up taking a job at much lower entry level. I did it primarily to get through but I wasn't motivated enough to do it well so I was fired.I lost whatever little confidence I had. Things haven't started looking up yet because it's hard enough to get hired in Canada but with gaps in resume it is even more hard to get back on your feet. And nobody thinks twice because that's the way the world works.There are lot of prejudices that exists and it will take a day to list them one by one. discriminated from getting an apartment because you look different, white people secretly supporting Trump, one immigrant group hating or showing racism to another, undue favoritism at work place, everyone assuming you are a terrorists or unhygienic because your are dark and so on. This will mess up your confidence and lead you to depression if you don't have any true friends or well wishers around you.Unfortunately I have only majority of bad experiences and i'm pretty positive person but it's hard not to ignore and just go about your work.
How does Canada treat people with autism?
Depends on where you are and how severe the autism is. Where I am, in my school district, in the schools that I went to/will resume going to, they have special needs programs called an Individualized Education Program. This can apply to people who just have behavourial issues and even extend to people who can’t talk and are still learning numbers. Everyone goes at their own pace. We try to make people with autism and other disabilities feel as secure and welcome as possible.We also have a program called Best Buddies, at least in the high school and maybe the middle school does (I don’t remember.) which is where at lunch on Tuesdays the special needs kids and non-special needs kids get together, eat lunch, and the people who are not special needs plan things like fundraisers, raffles, and field trips.They do a field trip at least once a month because the special needs kids get better experience when with people they know (the adults and other students) in an interactive non-traditional environment (museums or plays).We also do things like Secret Santa at Christmas, or Mother’s and Father’s day projects. In May they got caterpillars and then the butterflies hatched and we kept the butterflies under a hamper in a room.
Omacor: Is it available in Canada?
Omacor® is a new medication that consists of a high concentration of highly purified omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration in November 2004, this new drug is used to treat hypertriglyceridemia and is meant to serve as an adjunctive therapy in addition to healthy eating habits, and the control of heart disease risk factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol levels. Hypertriglyceridemia is a condition in which triglyceride levels exceed 500 mg/dL and could be a precursor to serious heart disease if not properly addressed. This medication, which is manufactured by Pronova Biocare and Reliant Pharmaceuticals, was released on the US market in the fall of 2005.
Do Canadians go trick or treating like americans?
That sounds like an American question. You people think the world revolves around you. Halloween or Trick or Treating did not even originate in the USA. And YES Canadians do Trick or Treat just like the Americans and many other countries.
If I vape zero nicotine juice, will Canadian health insurance treat me as a smoker?
Just because you’re not sucking tobacco smoke into your lungs, or even nicotine, doesn’t mean what you’re doing to yourself is healthy.Vaping juice typically contains a hefty amount of glycerin, which produces the visible “smoke”. Vaping proponents point out that glycerin is “Generally Regarded As Safe” (GRAS) by the FDA, and is used in various prepared foods as a thickener and for moisture retention. And that’s all true.Only trouble is, that’s when you eat it. Heating it to a vapor and sucking it into your lungs is not GRAS. That’s because heating glycerin to vapor can cause it to break down, and the aromatic decomposition products of glycerine include isopropanol, formaldehyde, and other known toxins and carcinogens.So, to answer the question, I don’t know enough about Canadian health insurance to know whether they’d code you as a smoker. I know that in the U.S. system, if you have a history of smoking, you’ll get coded as such, modified to former smoker if you haven’t smoked in an arbitrary number of years. And I know that vaping is still harmful enough in much the same ways as actually smoking that it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if they treated you as such.
Canadian Guys!!!!!!!?
I'm not Canadian or a guy... but I did marry a Canadian guy, and I have a Canadian sister-in-law who married an Australian, so I have some insight to your question, I think! There's a lot of variety from person to person of course but on average, Canadians (guys included) are very used to people from other places and other countries. Canada has a very large immigrant population, for one thing, so on a day-to-day basis people are used to living alongside people from places like India and, China, for example, which are even more different than Canada than Australia is. In addition, many people who aren't recent immigrants have immigrant ancestors just two generations back from places like England, Scotland, Iceland, Ireland, Ukraine, and so on. My husband, for example, grew up visiting relatives in England. People with experiences like that are going to find international travel and international marriage pretty normal. Also, since Canada is a Commonwealth country, many Canadians grew up seeing places like England and Australia as being very similar, part of the same international family. And since most of the Canadian population lives within a day's travel of the US, Canadians are used to interacting with English-speakers from other countries. So on the whole I do think that while people, guys included, will be interested in what your life in Australia was liked, no one will be shocked at your presence in Canada, and many will find your accent interesting or fetching instead of weird. Another factor is that, while there are jerks and users everywhere, in my opinion on average most Canadians tend to be really polite, and fairly respectful, in general. So in my opinion, at least compared to American guy, you have a *somewhat* better chance of finding a guy that isn't a complete liar and manipulator. To me, from what I've seen, that kind of dominance thing is less encouraged for boys in Canada, while traditional, basic respect and ethics is encouraged more. This of course doesn't apply to everyone but to some extent these kinds of cultural norms to make a difference.
