Canadian Cuisine and Culinary Delights:
Canada's culinary landscape is as diverse as its people. Don't miss out on trying iconic Canadian dishes like poutine, butter tarts, maple syrup treats, and delicious seafood from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Moreover, major cities boast a variety of international restaurants, allowing you to sample cuisines from around the world. Explore food markets and local eateries to embark on a gastronomic adventure of a lifetime.
Getting Involved in Extracurricular Activities:
Beyond academics, Canada offers a myriad of extracurricular activities to suit all interests. Joining clubs, sports teams, or volunteer organizations will enhance your university experience, help you make friends, and contribute to your personal growth.
Sign up and reconnect with student groups and clubs
If you are a member of student group or club, check in with them at the beginning of the term to see what they have planned for the term. This will help you plan out your involvement with them over the term, and if they have any trips or events planned, there may be limited spots so you might want to sign up before spots fill up.
Overcoming Homesickness:
It's natural to feel homesick when you're away from family and friends. Combat homesickness by staying connected through video calls, emails, or letters. Engage in activities that remind you of home, like cooking traditional dishes or celebrating your country's festivals with newfound friends. Remember, many of your fellow international students are experiencing similar emotions, and supporting one another can foster a strong sense of community.
