After moving to Canada from the US last year, I've noticed a lot of surprising differences. For example, I was amazed at how friendly people are here. Canadians are known for their politeness, and I can confirm it! Also, the universal healthcare system is fantastic. I had no idea how much I took private insurance for granted until I didn't have to worry about medical bills. The winters are much harsher than I expected, but I've grown to love the cozy, hydrated lifestyle. But what was the most surprising thing for you when you moved to Canada? I'd love to hear others' experiences and unique observations.
