Dear Mina

I want to explain Canadian work culture in Canada; One of the most exciting and interesting parts about working in Canada, is that you are likely to work with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. Although diversity is respected and encouraged in Canada.

Canadian’s are very team worker in the workplace, and you will often see “teamwork” as a desired skill in job postings. How to demonstrate teamwork in the workplace:

They treat everyone with respect - Greet someone working in an entry level position with the same courtesy and enthusiasm as you would an Executive Director.

Show interest in people’s work, interests and achievements

Offer support when you see a coworker under stress or falling behind. This demonstrates teamwork, and the person might return the help when you need it down the road!

Every workplace will have really different expectations and policies regarding clothing.In general, when you start anew job, it is best to dress more formally and conservatively that you think is necessary while you learn more about the workplace culture and expectations.
