Check out what kind of attire people wear and also check the space of the office. A creative agency, an IT office or a construction office has different space and mood.

5. Canadian professional language is something different from the rest of the world. The language always appeals for a collective action and not for a specific individual. The communication also gives a hope for working better things out if something isn't working out. Therefore, it's important to understand the professional language to avoid misunderstanding.

In a Canadian company, put your best efforts without even asking you to do something. Be clear about your job responsibilities.
