I am working with an organization right now that is targeted at helping businesses create diversity values in the workplace — and teaching them to respect ethnic and cultural differences. ZHU, I wonder if you might be interested in providing a guest post on finding work in Canada or how you would recommend Canadian business could make new workers (immigrants) feel valued and welcomed? Please contact me at the email address I have offered, and check out the site listed here for reference.

I find a shocking lack of diversity over here — considering this is considered to be a major European port.

Being a child of immigrants (and being one myself), I always grew up slightly outside of Canadian culture. So there is not a whole lot I have thrown away, since I have had to question my difference always.

Probably my biggest culture shock was in moving from Montreal (where I grew up) to Toronto and finding it so incredibly English with ethnicity confined to ghettos.

@Seraphine — Mmmm… let me think… YES! Canadians keep their winter coat on when… you know. It’s cold in the igloo.

@Cornflakegirl — Religion(s) is just weird here. It’s a huge part of a lot of people’s life and I sometimes feel it’s just not okay to be agnostic or atheist. People don’t fight that much between religions, it’s more between those who believe and those who don’t.
