A Warm "Welcome to Canada" awaits

Everyone in English and French Canada - Everywhere in this wonderful, expansive, Friendly neighbor to our North

     

       What Adventures and what Fun lie ahead on every one of our exciting Tours of Canada.  From the rugged beauty of the Canadian Rockies and the laid-back Class of Vancouver and Victoria - to the sophisticated charm of Montreal - the world's second largest French speaking city - chic high fashion, vibrant night life,   River Cruises, history - just so much to see in our friendly, welcoming northern neighbor.  Each of the Provinces offers its own brand of warm, friendly people just waiting for you and your friends to explore. 

 

    Food in Canada tends to be Hearty and Healthy and YUMMY.  Ottawa offers cuisines of many different countries while Montreal favors French delicate flavors and sauces. Be sure to try some Poutine.

   

     Atlantic Canada, the Maritimes, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island are just a short ferry ride form Portland, Maine.  French-speaking Quebec has a definite European flair.  The Canadian Capital of Ottawa is charming, cosmopolitan, and sophisticated - and the Rocky Mountains are stunningly spectacular.  Lake Louise, Banff, Calgary - then on the West Coast, Vancouver is more relaxed and it fills-in for many US Cities in TV shows and Movies.

 

      For You we offer One Exceptional Tour that combines the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains in Canada AND the Rocky Mountains of the United States.   Stunning dramatic scenery, Mountain lakes and Cruises, Train Tours and hearty meals in BOTH countries.  From Glacier National Park to Lake Louise, Your tour fulfills every dream that you have ever had - stories of the Mountain Men and Transcontinental Railroads.  Sleep and dine on your train - enjoy the scenery, and the people, and the hearty meals.

 

    The WEST was explored by 3 Countries - France - England - United States of America.  After the French left in 1759 and the English in 1783, it was left tfor Americans in the United States, and Canadians, still governed by England - to Explore this vast area occupied only by Natives and a smattering of French and English Fur Traders.

 

      Alexander MacKenzie became the first Explorer to Cross the Rocky Mountains and reach the Pacific Ocean, 12 years BEFORE Lewis and Clark - a shorter distance that he completed in 9 months with one Winter campsite.   Much like Lewis and Clark, he was accompanied by 9 French "Voyageurs", fur trappers, one cousin, and a dog.  Not as well planned, with far fewer people, and on a much shorter route, MacKenzie's Party was the First, north of Mexico, to reach an inlet of the Pacific Ocean.
 

      - 12 Years later, the USA bought the Louisiana Territory from France, and President Thomas Jefferson sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to explore the region, and report back.  It took almost three years and many people had given them up for lost.  Accompanied by more than 25  French "Voyageurs", Trappers and Fur Traders, the Lewis and Clark Expedition opened the vast land that we now call "The West"

 

     Please, to give you some background - watch the wonderful Movie "How the West Was Won"  it is fairly accurate although somewhat condensed - but the "essence" is there.  So, Come, Come, there's a wonderous land, full of hopeful hearts and a willing hand ....."

- Canada Notes -

“Our Wonderful Neighbors to the North"

- Here are Many Helpful Tips -

... to Help Make your Canadian Tour even MORE  Enjoyable ...

CNaCaNo   Page 1/2   1308

“Bienvenue au Canada  =  Welcome to Canada”

      Canada, our nearest international neighbor, is one of the most interesting places you can visit.  The people are very friendly with a happy outlook on life and eager to help you.  Most everyone speaks English as either a first or second language.  In Quebec Province, please be patient if they don’t understand your English.  Their first language may be French!  The French they speak is similar to the way we speak English compared to the English of an Englishman. Many words are common in the Canadian and American language if you listen carefully.      

- Most important ... have a good time. Relax and Enjoy !

      From Montreal, “The Paris of North America” to the quaint streets and horse drawn carriages of Quebec City, to Ottawa, a very cosmopolitan Capital City, Toronto, the commercial heart of modern Canada with more Broadway shows than anyplace else except.....well.....Broadway! .....and the charming seafaring city of Halifax in Nova Scotia.  Plus the beautiful Pacific west coast city of Vancouver..... Of these cities, Toronto and Vancouver are frequently used as movie sets to represent American Cities.  You can’t possibly see it all, but you are going to have a chance to taste just enough of the history, the people, the food, and the vibrant atmosphere that makes up modern and historic Canada. 

      Canada shares so much of our “American” History, most often on our side, but as you will see, sometimes siding with the British and earlier with the French.  But enough history background for now.  Here are some answers to questions that will help you have a much better understanding of our friends and neighbors to the north, the Canadians..........

 

- ANSWERS  -  To Your  Canada  QUESTIONS -

 

- Customs and Immigration -

            You MUST possess a current Passport.  and possibly a VISA if your Passport is from a country other than the USA

    International law requires you to have “Proof of Citizenship”  For citizens of most other countries Canada requires a valid Passport.  For re-entry into the United States, you need a Passport.  Aliens must have an Alien Registration “Green Card”, student visa, etc., depending on which country you are from.   

      Crossing the border in both directions, a Federal Border, Immigration or Customs official will get on the coach and ask questions, or passengers may be required to get off the coach and enter the office.  Keep you answers short and simple.  Just answer the question.  If you get complicated or cute, it may delay your coach.  If you are not a US Citizen, be sure to tell your Group Leader in advance. Aliens may be required to get off the coach to register in person.

- Everything is Metric -

      Everything !  Speed Limits, Distances, Temperature, Barometric Pressure, Wind Speeds, everything.  Relax, you will  get used to it, sort of.  It is quite easy.   It is much simpler than the US system.  In fact, almost all nations of the world have switched to metric for its simplicity.  The US was supposed to change in the 1960s and ‘70s, but we quit when we were just part way.  That is why we have “litres” for soda bottles and alcohol, and 100 millimeter cigarettes.  European and Japanese cars are all metric. 

      PS.  Please remember, the plural for more than one ...               Canada Goose is “Canada Geese”

 

   

- Everything you wanted to know about Canada (almost). CNaCa   2/2  1308

- Money -

      Canadian monetary system is very similar to that of the United States, except they do not have $1 or $2 bills. Their coins are the same denomination and size except:  One Dollar Coins (called a “Loonie”) instead of our One Dollar Bills and Two Dollar Coins (called a “Toonie”) instead of our (rare) two-dollar bills.  Bills are in color! The Canadian Dollar is a small bargain since you receive about $1.30 Canadian for every $1 US.  To receive the best exchange rate, you may purchase items with a credit or debit card.  You can use an ATM machine for Canadian cash, but there is a service charge.  Do not expect to get change in US dollars.  You can spend any Canadian dollars left at the Duty Free Shop or often exchange Canadian money for U.S. at the Canadian Duty Free Shop at the border just before you enter the USA.

- Price of Things -

       Everything is less expensive in Canada.  Not only are their prices generally lower, but remember the US Dollar is worth about $1.30+ Canadian so you get more Canadian Dollars for your US Dollar. Subject to currency exchange rate.

- NOTE:  Stores:  Prices are generally lower than in the US.          Remember, the Canadian dollar is worth only about                                  $.75  v US so your American dollar goes                                        further.  Use your Credit/Debit  or ATM                                          Card for best rates.

- Postage Stamps -

     Check with yourTour Director or Canadian Post Office or Store  $1.20 Cent Canadian Postage Stamps are required for Postcards and Letters.    Post Boxes are RED (Mail Boxes).  United States postage stamps  are NOT acceptable

- Flags -

     Canadians are a very proud people and country. They fly                        their flags everywhere.

 The Canadian Flag is Red and White with a Red Maple Leaf in the center.

      The Quebec Province Flag is Blue and White with 4 “fleur                                                                       de lys” in the corners.

- Language -

       The Official languages of Canada is English and French, and French is spoken primarily in Quebec Province and New Brunswick Province.  In Montreal about 70% of the people are French speaking, and in Quebec City about 98% are French speaking.  Virtually everyone does understand English in major cities.  In Quebec Province, all signs are required to be in French only,  but most store and restaurant signs may be in both English and French. 

        Please be patient if someone doesn’t understand you.

            “Merci” = Thank you. “S’il vous plait” = Please (“seel                              voo play”). Saying both is appreciated in every                                                           ... country in the world.

- ROAD SIGNS are all in French in Quebec, but all are international and easily understood.  You get used to them. Flashing green = “left turn permitted = a green arrow.   Traffic lights may have different shaped lights.

- MENUS  In QC (Province of Quebec), and in a few other regions, menus will be written in French, but will typically include English translations. 

- Driving -

     Most driving  rules are the same as in the US.  Speed limits in “Kilometers”  Hint:  100kph = 63 miles per hour.  Signs are standard “international” symbols. Quebec and Ontario Province have reciprocal agreements with New York State and Massachusetts so driving infraction in those provinces will go on your home state license including speeding,  red light, etc.

- Telephones -

     Canada and the United States share the same phone systems so you can make a call from Canada to the USA by dialing your call the same as at home. US Phone Cards work: ATT, Sprint, Verizon, etc.  Telephone operators speak English and they can  place  your call,  but you will pay the MUCH higher operator assisted rate.

     - Yes, there is more, but this will really give you a good start.  Remember, Canada and the United States share North America, so we are all ... Americans.
