Hi all members! My name is Adrien and I'm from Brazil.
I'm 19 years old and I just moved to Canada on february and now I have been studying english in order to prepare to the TOEFL IBT and then go on to university ! I think this is a very helpful and useful forum. Just wanted to say a hello.

Canada is pretty cold, are you getting used to the weather? Any culture shock?

Hello from Canada! My name is Adrien. Thu Nov 15, 2007 7:05 am  Hello from Canada! My name is Adrien.
 

Hey all,
No I haven't taken the TOEFL yet, I will take it on dezember, which means that I have still one month to prepare.
The universities here in Canada for my course only require 80 total point for the toefl! Very Happy That is not a hard score to achieve.
That's why I like Canada haha. Even though Brazil is veryyyyyy hot (I don't like an exagerated hot weather, unless I'm at beach),
I prefer living here in Canada. It is indeed cold, but if you have good clothes and if there's no wind, you won't be cold.
The cold in Brasil it's sort of worse than here, because in the winter, the houses there are no heated and the weather there is really humid,
which make it colder. here in Alberta is dry weather, and it can be very cold, at least the sun is almost always shining Very Happy
I also lived in France and the cold there is terrible in the winter, cold, humid and cloudy weather is not good...

I'm getting used with life in Canada, people are nice, the country is beautiful; there's a lot of mountain and lakes.
but...I can't work, this is the unique "cultural shock", because I'm an internacional student, although I have already applied for
permanent resident. In Brazil, I was accustumed working, some times I get bored at home. Why can't I work if the country desperately
needs people to work ? I just don't understand this burocracy. Neutral

Hello from Canada! My name is Adrien. Sat Nov 17, 2007 12:04 pm  Hello from Canada! My name is Adrien.
 

Hey Azeuch, welcome here.

I lived in Canada for 8monhs as well! I was in Ontario though (London) and yeah it's tough to get used to the cold but that's an awesome country otherwise! I loved the people, their way of life, the culture ...
On the other hand, food wasn't terrific! French food is so great compared to there!
You said you lived in France and the weather was kind of crappy! It actually depends on where you were, but according to your description, I'd say you were in the Northen part of France, like Paris or Brittany maybe! I live in Cannes (you know where there is the French film festival, South East of France) and here it's warm all year long (except in December and January and sometimes February, but the temperature rarely goes below 5°C), in summer it's very hot, it never rains (something like 10 to 15 days a year tops!), it's great!
Bye for now.

Hello from Canada! My name is Adrien. Sat Nov 17, 2007 19:34 pm  Hello from Canada! My name is Adrien.
 

Hey! You're right..food here is not the best food in the world. French food is obviously a lot better than the Canadian food (it's just fast food Razz)
But it's okay, there are some good restaurants here. I lived in Alsasce (I was born there), 30 km from Strasbourg, and it's nice over there, I like those old houses and Strasbourg is amazing, mainly in Christmas. If I could I would live in the south of France, in Nice, near from the beaches. Very Happy
THanks bye
