| Canada is a cultural mosaic, not a melting pot. This means that we welcome, respect, and appreciate cultures outside of our own. You will not be expected to shed your cultural ties just because you've chosen Canada as your host country for higher education. In fact, we are so proud of our multiculturalism that in 1982 the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was instituted, while in 1985 the Canadian Multiculturalism Act was enacted: An Act for the preservation and enhancement of multiculturalism in Canada. |

Major
urban areas have several community centers and associations
focusing on specific cultural backgrounds. This way, you can
meet and interact with people who can not only speak your
native language, but also relate to your experiences in a new
land, helping you transition smoothly when you first arrive
as an international student. Excellent English as a Second Language programs are available focusing on different cultural backgrounds, so the instructor can address particular issues and concerns contrasting your native tongue with contemporary Canadian English. |

Canada has
a very healthy respect for the privacy of its citizens. In a
recent worldwide survey, Canada fared significantly higher
than the US and parts of Europe, according to the
London-based human rights group Privacy International. This
goes against the current global trend to infringe on
individual privacy in the name of security and immigration
control. You can find almost any ingredient or spices you used when cooking back at home. Alternately, you can also visit any of the multitude of restaurants throughout our major urban areas showcasing the most current trends of ethnic cuisine or home style food in any background you can imagine. You can easily enjoy international cuisines you may have never otherwise tried or you can get a taste of back home that will make you feel like you've never left. Canada is also home to many internationally renowned chefs who develop a sophisticated style that includes elements from many different cultural backgrounds. |
