Canada is not too popularly destined among our tourists. When I ran into the design of documents, I understood perfectly well why our tourists do not burn with a huge desire to visit this country. First of all, you need to get a visa. The visa is issued, if there is an invitation from an organization or person who has a permanent basis in this country. In my case, there was no such invitation, because I was driving on the recorded round, and this turned out to be given this visa to me. The next moment, which I left not very pleasant memories is the need to confirm your solvency. Here I had a certificate of income from the enterprise, in which I successfully worry for ten years. Further. And then, attention! You must confirm the absence of your desires, migrate to Canada, and illegally! The theater is absurd, nervously smokes away. There are also idle and childless people to try very well. The benefit that I am a married girl, rushed with my spouse, and at home we left a two-year-old son. All this clearly testified to that, especially the presence of a small child, that the spouse and we will return to our historic homeland.
Canada without restrictions can be imported foreign currency, but the national Canadian dollars without proper documents are allowed to take only ten thousand. I was always surprised at such restrictions, well, I do not understand the logic of the authorities in this case. In addition to the currency, it is allowed to take with them pets in the amount of no more than two pieces. Pets, in obligatory, must have all the pieces from the doctor, in which it is clearly written that all vaccinations are made, the animal is great, fleas and worms have no.
The next ban, I almost brought me to the seizure of hysterical laughter. Ready? To the territory of Canada, it is forbidden to import food, the exceptions are canned food in tin cans and solid cheese varieties. Canned food must be fresh and not overdue. Bar full! If I do not like cheese and canned food, I am dying with hunger on the road, right? Anyway. I perfectly interrupted coffee, and my spouse, terribly swore, chewing the stew and biting her a piece of cheese.
I was delivering to me that you can take personal belongings with me, but only here, that would have their costs did not exceed three hundred Canadian dollars. If you are carrying gifts and hotels, they automatically move to personal things and all together should cost no more than three hundred Canadian dollars.
If you suffer from diseases and you are vital to have medicines with you, then you must take from your attending physician, a certificate that these medicines you need and without them you cannot travel.
While we were issued everything that was necessary, I honestly completely disappeared the desire to go not only in Toronto, but also to Canada as a whole, even for free. But it turns out that something has encountered at home, these are still flowers. Everyone says that in Russia bureaucracy. Nothing like this! So they say only those who have never been to Canada. Laws here are strict, paper needs a lot, but to argue with the representatives of the rule of law, it is better not worth it to be more expensive. The best option is, to put up and silently fill in all the papers and other nonsense.
So, Toronto. That's just getting here, I did not understand, for which the seven circles of hell actually cost. Yes, Toronto is very modern, beautiful and sterile pure city. Yes, there is on what to see. Yes, it is pleasant to walk here. Locals are calm and polite. But, I would not have any money to stay here! The governments of the country, obviously flattering when tourists are forced to confirm the lack of the desire of illegal migration.
As I wrote above, the National currency is the Canadian dollar. You can carry them up ten thousand, but such a number of cash, have nothing to do with it, since the non-cash payment is practiced in Toronto. If you have the blood from the nose, as you need local dollars, you can make the exchange with a standard way, that is, in banks and exchange offices. Canada, although it is famous for a very low level of crime, no country in the world can not be insured from small fraudsters, so I have changed money in the markets, it is extremely unsafe.
Smoking in public places is prohibited! Moreover, it is not worth a closer look. If you are invited to the house and you will not wait to get a cigarette, then for starters ask the owners at home, they will not object. If you are given oral agreement, then you can safely smoke. With alcohol, things are also not the best. The thing is that alcohol, sold in special state stores and only until the evening.
Noise and listen to music at the maximum volume, as well as we have until eleven hours of the night. Unlike our country, if the police will call in Canada at this time, then you may not doubt that the guards of the law enforcement will necessarily come and pay at least a fine, and as a maximum, it can be completely picky in the site. It is also not necessary to make noise, according to purely human considerations, since most of the residential buildings in Toronto are built from cheap materials that we would be called cardboard.
In Canada, two official languages are immediately French and English. With French we have obvious problems, but the English spouse is perfectly in perfect. He constantly used English and were well understood everywhere.
Tips, they love here, but do not require. Canadians in general, people are quite discreet. Tips, as well as around the world, it is customary to leave mainly in restaurants. As a rule, the size of the tip directly depends on the sum of the general order and is ten percent of the total amount. On the table money is not accepted. Calculating, put money into the book, in which you brought the bill itself. Also, the tips can be left for your baggage porters, but it is not fundamentally. At the hotel, you can thank the maid pair of the Troika Canadian dollars, which in your opinion, well removed the number.
