What gift to take to Canada?

Question 1: What should international students bring to Canada? It is not advisable to have too much luggage abroad. One reason is that things bought in China may not be shared locally. Moreover, international students may move frequently because of school transfer or other factors. There are not many classmates and friends abroad, so it is difficult to carry a lot of things. So what should be in the luggage of international students? Canada's folk customs are simple, and daily necessities are mainly practical, with little emphasis on brand-name styles. Therefore, it is suitable for foreign students to bring ordinary jeans, T-shirts, coats, windbreakers and so on. But it's best to prepare one or two suits, such as suits, so as to have the opportunity to attend ceremonies, concerts and academic conferences. In Canada, it is very cold in winter, so warm clothes are essential. International students generally wear down jackets. When buying, you'd better choose a hat. The bigger the hat, the better, because before it snows, there is often a strong wind, and the face hurts like a knife. If you have an extra hat to protect your face, you can move quickly in the wind. As for snow boots, it is best to buy them locally. The bottom of shoes and boots in the domestic market is not hard enough, and the pit is not deep enough, which is not suitable for walking in snow or ice. In addition, don't bring wool underwear. In winter, people spend little time outdoors. Indoor places and vehicles must have heating supply, and coats and snow boots can be easily taken off, but it will be very troublesome to take off wool underwear. General daily necessities can be purchased locally and the price is not expensive. Those luxuries, such as sporting goods and cosmetics, are very expensive. Therefore, students who like sports can bring high-quality rackets and sneakers from China and let them show their talents in the university gym. Girls might as well bring more skin care products. As for books, dictionaries in Chinese-English translation and English-Chinese translation are of course indispensable reference books. Students should also bring some Chinese books they like to read, which can be used for leisure after school and give them a chance to reading chinese. Otherwise, when you write home in a year or two, you will find that the situation of forgetting words is getting more and more serious. According to Canadian law, passengers can bring some personal luggage and a limited number of consumer goods into the country, but these items must be declared to Canadian Customs. In addition, passengers can personally carry or consign duty-free gifts to relatives and friends living in Canada, but the value of each gift cannot exceed Canadian dollars and 40 yuan RMB. Passengers can carry one hand baggage and two checked baggage. As for the weight and size limit of luggage, they should contact the airline or travel agency in advance to facilitate packing. A pot must be a pot. 98% places provide electric stoves instead of gas stoves. However, there is not much difference between buying here and domestic prices. Generally speaking, sweaters can be brought less, and I haven't had much chance to wear them yet. In snowy days, I mainly wear coats and T-shirts. There seems to be no need for more personal photos. If you have someone, you won't want it. They want you to take pictures in the elephant tube. You need someone to sign on the back. Otherwise, just take digital photos. You are generally not required to hand in photos. I was asked to provide photos when I applied for a maple leaf card two years ago. This is the only time. Quilts, quilts and pillows are all necessary. What is expensive here is of course the exception of money. In addition, it is recommended to give G 1 a driver's license as soon as possible (Ontario, other provinces are not so easy). With this thing, you can use it as an ID card. Because libraries (off-campus) and similar places require you to have a certificate with an address and a photo. You can ask Chinese questions in the exam, and the exam questions can be found online. You can go to the examination room after watching it for an hour. It's simple. The pass rate is over 90%. As for sanitary napkins, I don't know why. My wife uses local sanitary napkins. I don't think I've heard her complain that it's not easy to use, but the price is a little expensive. The washing machine here usually has three adjustment modes: cold water, warm water and hot water. If it can only be washed with hot water, I suggest you change it or complain to the landlord. There must be something wrong with this machine. Fast translation is really important because the dictionary is too heavy. And you can't always use Kingsoft. If you want to join the mobile network here, you can buy a three-band mobile phone in China and use it in Canada. Of course, you can also use a service provider to send it. I hope that's all for the time being. 1. Baggage: Generally, international airlines check two pieces of luggage for free, each weighing no more than 32kg, and the hand luggage weighing no more than 8kg. Prohibited items: guns, weapons, gunpowder, agricultural products, raw meat, fruits, vegetables, etc. 2. Exit formalities in China: purchase the construction fee of China Airport in 90 yuan RMB, confirm the boarding pass, and check the luggage ... >>

Question 2: What gifts can you bring to study in Canada to highlight the characteristics of China, such as folding fans, which are cheap and easy to carry, not bulky and distinctive? Chinese painting, the kind of picture scroll. There are also Chinese knots, which are good wishes and easy to carry. There are also writing brushes, which are packed in long and narrow boxes and have their own characteristics. There are chopsticks, a set of high-quality chopsticks from China, exquisite, tableware and practical. Too many, students think for themselves.

Or the old forest sugar in the middle ages.

Bringing gifts means not being too expensive. One is that it costs a lot of money, and the other is that the other party may not realize so much, so it is difficult to spend money in vain.

As long as people feel very strong China flavor, you will achieve your goal.

Question 3: What gifts and local products should I bring to visit my relatives in Canada?

1, smoked salmon:

Smoked salmon as raw material. Passengers can buy packaged salmon fillets if they want to take them home, and some smoked shellfish products are also good shopping choices.

2. Maple sherbet:

The most representative foods in Canada are sold in major shopping malls, usually spread on bread or soaked in black tea. Some shops put it in beautiful utensils, and travelers and friends can buy some to take home as gifts for relatives and friends. This is definitely a good gift.

3. Handicrafts of Indians and Eskimos

Rich in ethnic flavor, there are wood carving ornaments, copper products, glass products and so on. These are very memorable.

4. Fur:

Canada's representative products are diverse and affordable, which can be described as good and cheap.

5, ice wine:

Wine made from grapes is a rare specialty in Canada. It has the reputation of "the best in wine" and is also the national wine of Canada. You can't miss it. Passengers can also take some home as gifts for their relatives and friends.

6. Lobster oil:

It is famous for its rich nutrition, delicious taste, fat body and various health care functions. It has the effects of nourishing the body, prolonging life and preventing and treating many diseases, but it is really expensive, so ordinary tourists can only "look at the shrimp and sigh".

Question 4: What gift should I bring to my friends in Canada? Just bring Wuliangye or Maotai for drinking, Chinese for smoking, casual clothes for not drinking or smoking, and see what kind of person the other person is. The gifts brought by men and women will be different. You can buy it at the airport duty-free shop.

Question 5: What gifts should I bring back when I travel to Canada? My personal suggestions are as follows:

1 maple syrup

2 cups of maple leaf tea

3 pieces of maple leaf chocolate

4 Dreamcatcher (I don't know how to say it in Chinese)

5 American ginseng

6 sealed glycerol

The first four items are very cheap, but they are very Canadian.

The last two samples are a little expensive, but they are worth it! American ginseng in Canada is the best in North America, and seal glycerin can only be bought in Canada all over the world (because other countries think it is illegal to kill seals, except Canada and Japan).

Question 6: What is a good deal to take to Canada? 1. Chanel perfume at Pudong International Airport is cheaper than that in Canada.

2. Skin care products are cheap to buy at Pudong Airport;

3. Pudong Airport Duty Free Shop is cheaper than Toronto Airport Duty Free Shop;

4. Estee Lauder, Clinique and Chanel Pudong Airport are cheaper or much cheaper to buy in Hong Kong.

Question 7: What can't be brought to Canada? Most of the things that tourists are not allowed to bring into Canada are plants. One of the main principles of whether various plants can be brought into Canada is that if they are native to Canada or cultivated locally, there may be entry restrictions. Because I am afraid that germs or pests stored in similar plants will pose a threat to local crops or resources.

According to this principle, many kinds of evergreen plants, such as pine, conifer, Douglas fir and larch, are not allowed to be brought into Canada except imported from the United States. For this reason, garlands made of Christmas trees and evergreen trees are not allowed to be imported.

Fruit: fruits of various cold temperate climates cannot be brought into China unless they come from the United States. This includes apples, apricots and other common fruits, in addition to strawberries, blueberries, cranberries, blackcurrants, currants and other berries. Grapes were introduced from America and some other places. Some fruits and plants are not allowed to enter the country, while others can be brought into the harvested fruits.

Vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc. Plants are not allowed to be brought into America unless they are from America. Potatoes and other edible parts are buried in the ground and come into direct contact with the soil, so their plants, edible stems and bulbs are forbidden to be brought in, except in the United States.

Generally speaking, soil or plants with soil are not allowed to be brought into China. Like the bonsai that China people like, don't think that a small pot is brought in. If it's American, you can bring it in with pots and mud. If it is from other countries, the customs will not release it unless all the mud is removed. In addition, except chrysanthemums from the United States and a few other countries, chrysanthemums, which are deeply loved by China people, are prohibited from entering the country.

In fact, any material that contains soil or is used as a cultivation base like soil is subject to the same restrictions. This includes compost and other natural fertilizers, peat, sphagnum, sphagnum, turf and other organic fiber materials. In addition, bark is also easy to shelter evil people and shelter evil people, and there are also restrictions. As for packaging and filling materials, such as wheat straw, it is only allowed to be brought into the United States, and even some States in the United States prohibit it.

Animals:

Not many people are forbidden to bring into this country. For example, seafood, only a few kinds of fish like puffer fish, and a few kinds of crabs like mitten crabs are banned. In addition, animal fat can only be brought into the United States.

Dried beef and seeds for growing vegetables are gifts that China people like to give to their Canadian relatives and friends. However, if you bring such items into Canada without a true declaration, you may be fined 100 to 400 Canadian dollars, and all related items will be confiscated.

Drugs:

When you are away from home, health comes first. Considering that almost all western medicines are used in Canada, which have great side effects and are expensive, many China people will bring some medicines when they return to Canada, but the entry customs in Canada have strict regulations on bringing medicines. Immigration inspection in Canada requires tourists to bring medicines with original labels and instructions, as well as prescriptions for medicines. Remind everyone again, don't carry drugs for others easily, because you can't tell whether the drugs you carry contain dangerous ingredients or not, and don't carry too many drugs. In addition, we should also pay attention to the English description of drug ingredients, doctor's prescriptions and purchase invoices to avoid unnecessary trouble when entering the country.

Valuables and jewels

Valuables such as photographic equipment, watches and sporting goods carried in carry-on luggage can be registered at the local airport on the day of entry or before going abroad. If you can prove that the item is legally imported or obtained in Canada, the customs officer will list the item number in detail on the small green card you carry with you. When you return to Canada from abroad, show this card to the customs officer, and you can pass the customs smoothly.

As for jewelry, it's best to take it abroad as little as possible. In order to facilitate your return to Canada, you'd better do the following steps:

A qualified jewelry appraiser, jewelry dealer or insurance company in Canada should make an appraisal report (or jewelry appraisal book), plus verified and dated photos to prove that the jewelry in it is indeed listed in the appraisal book. iask.ca

When you go abroad, please take your jewelry appraisal certificate, appraisal photos and shopping invoices with you. Let you clear customs smoothly.

According to customs regulations, any articles brought out of Canada, if modified or added in any way, will not be regarded as the same article when brought back to China, and all must be declared. For example, after you put an old diamond ring and a new diamond ring abroad, ... >>

Question 8: What must I bring to Canada? 1. Preparation of articles before studying in Canada 1. The purchase of daily necessities depends on personal or family needs. Here are our suggestions: clothes. Canada is cold in winter, so you need to bring two cold-proof down jackets (one is 6-8 inches longer than the painted surface, and the other must be accompanied by a hat), waterproof gloves and a hat. I suggest you bring more underwear and socks (10 sets should be prepared) and don't bring too thick woolen pants. A quilt cover, two sheets, six towels, a pillow towel, an umbrella (preferably with a "paradise" pole), and low or flat shoes, which are easy to prevent slipping. Canadians are used to washing machines and dryers, so they hang less clothes. Cotton clothes shrink after dry cleaning. I suggest you buy bigger cotton clothes. Daily necessities It is suggested that you prepare the necessary toiletries within one week and bring more skin care products to adapt to the cold and dry climate in Canada. Please don't bring fresh plants and meat. Small household appliances. The plug specifications in Canada are different from those in China. It is recommended to bring a conversion plug or buy it after adding it. Buying a computer in Canada can facilitate the warranty, and the price is similar to that in China. Medicine. Everyone should bring some common medicines (mainly cold medicine, headache medicine, toothache medicine, skin medicine and diarrhea medicine). Medical insurance for new immigrants generally takes effect three months later, and medical insurance for students generally takes effect one month later. Cash: it is recommended to bring at least 6 months' living expenses, about 5,000 Canadian dollars, and the rest can be handled through international bank cards and remittances. It is recommended that you take small denominations of Canadian dollars, Hong Kong dollars and US dollars with you in case you need them during the trip. The total amount of cash, sea traveler's checks, etc. Passengers entering Canada should carry less than 10000 Canadian dollars or equivalent foreign currency, and the excess should be declared to the customs. Prohibited articles: If you want to bring meat, weapons, plants, cars, rare animals or their fur or feather by-products into Canada, please contact the Canadian Federal Customs for relevant information. Obscene reading materials or destructive propaganda materials, and most weapons and articles harmful to the environment are not allowed to enter Canada. For details, please contact the Canadian Customs Department. Commonly used English, you should be familiar with the name, address, residential address, contact name and telephone number of your school. Know your own situation and family situation like the back of your hand. According to international practice, airlines can check two pieces of luggage for passengers free of charge (students studying in Canada for the first time can apply for checking three pieces). The size and weight of luggage are stipulated by the airlines. The following data are for reference only: the weight of each piece of luggage should be less than 23kg, and the total length, width and height of each piece of checked luggage should be less than 158cm. Passengers can also carry a standard piece of luggage, the weight of which should be less than 10 kg, and the specification is 23 cm x 40 cm x 55 cm. Your carry-on luggage should be filled with everything you need during the journey (please don't put it in the checked baggage): air tickets, passports (including visas), family immigration documents, family Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) (customers applying for Quebec immigration), letters with visas issued by the Canadian Embassy (international students), admission notices from Canadian schools and receipts or money orders for tuition fees paid (international students), one or two pieces of cold protection and clothes change. 3. Matters needing attention in customs clearance (immigration and study abroad) 1. Precautions for entry First of all, pay attention to the validity period of entry visa: the date of first entry into Canada must be within the validity period of the visa. The visa cannot be extended. If the validity period has passed, you need to apply again. It is recommended to enter Canada within three months from the date of issuance of the visa. Secondly, prepare living expenses: When you enter Canada, the immigration officer may ask you how much cash you have brought. According to Canadian customs regulations, each person can bring up to 1 10,000 Canadian dollars into the country. More than 65,438+0,000 Canadian dollars, need to declare. If the quantity is large, it is best to open a Canadian bank account and remit the funds by transfer. Also prepare a landing (or contact) address: it can be the address of relatives and friends in Canada, which needs to be filled in or asked when entering the country. International students can also fill in the address of the school (if they choose to live in the dormitory). Matters needing attention in customs clearance: all personal belongings of new immigrants are exempt from import tax. If you don't have any personal belongings with you this time and plan to bring them in within the next year, then you should declare it at this time, which is called cargo following. Prepare a list in advance, indicating the goods, model, quantity and Canadian dollar amount in English. 2. After the plane arrives in Canada, fill in the forms required for the entry (immigration and study abroad) customs declaration card (applicable to all passengers going to Canada) ... >>

Question 9: What can't I go to Canada for a social date? Canadians think punctuality is a basic quality. Be sure to keep the appointment on time. If you have to be late, you'd better call each other first and tell them when you will arrive. The other party will appreciate what you have done. Canadians are used to having more personal space. For example, if a person is using a bank ATM, the person behind him should keep a few feet away. It is very impolite to push and touch others. Queue most people are used to queuing for shopping, bank deposits and waiting for the bus. Even if there is no formal queue, you must abide by the first-come-first-served rule, so you must be patient when waiting for service. Canadians hate people jumping in line. It will be appreciated to open the door and let the people behind (especially women and children) pass. You may think that the pace of life in Canada is slow. But Canadians believe that the best service is friendly rather than fast, so there is no harm in spending more time on things. Most Canadian restaurants are divided into smoking and non-smoking areas except in cities where smoking is prohibited. Restaurants charge 7% goods and services tax. There is no service charge on the bill. If the service is good, the service charge is generally 15%. If several people go out to eat together, they usually go Dutch. If you are not sure, you can ask after checking out. If you want to eat in a luxurious or popular restaurant, you'd better call in advance to make a reservation. Unless you are in a fancy restaurant, most people will ask the waiter to take the leftover food back in a box. Canadians are similar to the British and Americans in food customs. Because of the cold climate, they have developed the habit of eating baked goods, which is their uniqueness. Canadians eat with knives and forks. They like roast steak, especially tender steak. They are used to drinking coffee and eating fruit after meals. Canadians pay attention to the nutritional quality of dishes, prefer sweetness, take pasta and rice as staple foods, and like beef, chicken, eggs, sardines, tomatoes, onions, potatoes and cucumbers as non-staple foods. Condiments such as ketchup and butter. They have a taste for brandy and champagne. Canadians don't eat shrimp paste, fish sauce, fermented bean curd, food with strange and fishy smell and animal offal. In Canada, when going to a banquet, it's best to buy a bunch of flowers for the host at the flower shop to show your gratitude. At the dinner table, male and female guests usually sit on the right hand side of the host and hostess respectively. Print your lips with a napkin before meals and keep the cup mouth clean. When eating, hold a fork in your left hand and a knife in your right hand. After using it, put it on the edge of the plate. Don't make any noise, don't talk, don't pick your teeth with toothpicks in public, and don't put tableware in other people's places. Canadians believe that a correct and elegant diet is the embodiment of gentlemanly manners. Using your time and skills in community volunteer service can help you make more friends, build a wide network and win the respect of others. Volunteers are welcome in charities, hospitals, art centers, schools, community service organizations and sports institutions. Donations are also welcome. It is common to raise money at home, call for donations or persuade office workers to donate. In addition, there are political parties asking for support, students selling chocolate candy and investment vouchers, and charities raising funds. If you don't want to donate, you should politely refuse. It is very impolite to close the door at once. Attend a dinner party If someone invites you to his house for dinner or dinner in the evening, it is usually to bring an inexpensive gift, such as flowers, chocolate or a bottle of table wine. Ask when the host or hostess should arrive and whether the dress code is formal or informal. If it is a dinner party, ask if you want to bring some homemade food. As usual, the hostess took the lead in eating. Let the guests eat the main course first and then help themselves. Most Canadians are straightforward. If you don't like anything, just say no, thank you. If you like what is passed on to you, just say thank you. Near the end, if the host or hostess shows signs of fatigue, it means it's time to leave. A few days after the banquet, a phone call or a short thank-you letter will make the host feel gratified. Courtesy is reciprocated. If you are polite, you should return the invitation in a few weeks. Day Nursery Most Canadian families have fewer than two children, many of whom are single-parent families. It is common for Canadians to live together without getting married. Most Canadian couples can't afford a nanny, so they need a nursery to take care of their children. Day nurseries provide full-time or hourly monitoring services for children born between the ages of 6 and 13. According to the law, children under 12 cannot stay at home alone and must be accompanied by an adult. Children at home ... >>

Question 10: What small gifts should I bring to my friends when I go to Canada? Just bring Wuliangye or Maotai if you drink, and a Chinese if you smoke. If you don't drink or smoke, you can have whatever you want. Depending on who the other person is, men and women will bring different gifts. You can buy it at the airport duty-free shop.
