Here are some points you have to know to feel at home in Canada. Canada has a population just less than 30 million people. You make it easier for you there are some practical advice concerning communicating with people in Canada. First of all, let us consider the forms of address as it is the first step to successful communicating and making friends. Use a person's title if he/she has one. In other case, use Miss, Mr., Mrs. and the surname of your interlocutor or addressee. Certainly, in conversation it is possible to ask what form of address will be more appropriate next time, but do remember the universal truth mentioned by the majority of famous gurus of communication: the person's name is the dearest sound for him/her. If you meet a person from Quebec, a French Canadian as they call themselves, be aware that French Canadians generally use their first name when talking to you on the telephone, but will probably use their full name while meeting you in person.
