The tipping culture, you need to do some jobs to appreciate what that tip does for the staff.

When I first arrived Canada, I never give tips but when I started doing some jobs and I started getting tips, then I understood the importance of tips to a staff. I don't have a professional job yet but anytime I visit a restaurant with friends or my girlfriend, I make sure I tip anything between $2-5.

A friend of mine works in Western university and he told me there is no day he will order food from a restaurant online via skip the dishes and not tip at least $5 because he has done the job before when he was a student and fully appreciates what it takes to do it.

By the way, if you go to a bar in Canada, some of the waitresses you see are paid below minimum wage and often times rely on tips from customers.

About the girls, that is how some white girls behave. They can be so chatty with you online or when they see you physically in the club and all of a sudden go cold the next day. This is very common with white girls from ages 18 - 25. Their brain dey touch sometimes.

Enemyofpeace:
same thing here. I encountered exactly the same thing here. Girls are just very stingy with their possessies here jare, but when winter starts, the value go come down and they will be the one begging men to help them out because the kind cold wet go enter their bodies no be fake one, na original from the source

seakomol:
Tipping is not a culture I was familiar with back in Nigeria; the practice would normally be "oga!, anything for your boy?" and depending on my mood, i give. It's not the same here; it isn't mandatory but a generally accepted and expected practice and it's normally 15-20%.

Apart from tipping, what other cultural difference have you noticed, experienced or picked up?

Another one that comes to mind is holding the door for the person coming behind you.........

Hello e-fam,

Top of the day to you.

Please I need suggestions on how to wriggle out of this little dilemma.

My daughter's international passport having her PR visa vignette is expiring in Aug, 2019 and we will be flying in July,2019.

What can I do?

1. Should I get another Intl passport or will Ethiopian Air allow it pass? (For those who have previously flown with ET)
You will need to get another passport ASAP I don’t think there’s any airline that will airlift her without having atleast 6months left on her passport I could be wrong though.

2. If I eventually need to get a new Intl passport, will it be necessary to inform and update CIC about the new passport details?
No you don’t. I know up to 4people who traveled with a new passport while having visa affix on their previous passport. Best of luck

Thank you all.


It will end in praise IJN!

However, what are the steps that you advice in coming out clean? Should I reapply for USA visa with right information/data about myself knowing fully well that i would be refused? Thereafter, try my luck with Canada

Thanks.

salford:

You have already arranged them in the right order.

I believe there are football leagues(amateurs) in all provinces and you just have to find them(reddit/{province}) is a good way to start your search. Alternatively, you can start one.

I play basketball every Tuesday at a local school(someone organized it via reddit) and we all pay $5 every time you show up towards the maintenance of the school gym.

kylexy61:


Unless you have access to an indoor football court, you most likely won't be playing football in the winter. The cold is just too troublesome.

sunvick:
Lol!! You are looking for trouble abi
