Culture Wise Canada by Graeme Chesters and Sally Jennings (2008) 

Travellers often underestimate the depth of cultural isolation they can face abroad, particularly in a country with a different language. To many people, Canada is seen as an ‘easy’ option, with its English language (in most places), long history of immigration and multicultural society. However, sooner or later, most newcomers find certain aspects of Canadian life alien – not least the weather – and some come unstuck as a result. Culture Wise Canada will help you understand Canada and its people, and adapt to the Canadian way of life. Most importantly, it will enable you to quickly feel at home.
