加拿大留学生活贴士
1、加拿大的电压和国内的电器如何匹配?
加拿大的市电是110V/60Hz，而中国用的是220V/50Hz。加拿大接入住宅的电源系统是240V和110V，其中240V是提供给电炉和烘干机使用。如果要从国内带电器到加拿大使用，需要用变压器转换。另外，在加拿大，基本上所有的插头都是两脚竖和一脚圆，而中国很多电器都是三脚插头，所以很有必要带上几个转换插头!
2、国外驾驶执照可否直接换为加拿大驾驶执照?
加拿大驾驶执照分为G、G1、G2三级。G1驾照只要通过笔试便可拿到，有了它，在有驾驶资格人士的陪同下就可以上路行驶了，但是不能独立驾车。考G2牌之后才能独立上路，一年之后可以考永久牌照G牌。
由于中国和加拿大没有交通驾驶协议，因此国内驾照在加拿大是无法直接使用的。国内驾照经过公证(要带着公证件去户口所在地的外事办做认证，再到加拿大驻中国大使馆做认证)，到加国后还要经过有资格的专业机构的翻译，交通部门才能承认。但是公证后的驾照也仅仅用于在取得G1照之后可以立即考G2，而不受到有一年行驶经验的限制。美国和国际驾照可在加拿大使用，但保险费较贵。满两年的美国驾照可直接换加拿大G驾照，不需考试。满两年的中国驾照可免除笔试后的八个月等待期，立即考G2。
3、关于加拿大的公共运动设施?
在加拿大，凡是免费的公共运动设施(大学和社区中心)，用的人都会自觉地用一段时间就退出，资源共享，毕竟是用公众纳税人的钱来建的。比如公用免费的球台和场地，没有人时你可以一直用下去，有人等着，你用一个小时左右就应该主动退出让给别人;如果很多人等，时间还要更短一些，以免别人久等。另外也有reserve的时段，并不会因为你先来，就可以一直占着用下去。如果别人reserve了某段特定的时间，你只能让给别人。
安全提示：
机场流动人口比较多，护照及机票等重要物品一定随身携带，不要将此类重要物品放在易被利器划开的塑料袋中，以防丢失。如果是夜间到达，应尽量避免单独出行;若需中转住宿，要提前联系。在公共场合要表现平静，避免突出自己，碰到任何问题可向机场工作人员寻求帮助。加拿大报警或紧急求救电话为911。
把自己的电话号码及到达机场的时间等行程信息提前告知家人和接机的朋友。身上尽量不要携带大量现金，留出足够乘坐交通工具及打公用电话的钱就可以了。在机场乘坐公交车和打电话要事先准备好零钱。
当持有效护照及留学签证在机场入境、过境受阻时，首先应向主管部门如实说明入境或过境事由，同时了解受阻原因(有权要求对方提供翻译服务)。如果请求得不到有关部门的回应，可要求与中国驻该区域使、领馆联系，寻求帮助。
驻华使、领馆登记。留学加拿大的学生一般需在国外停留较长时间，建议到达目的地后及时在中国驻当地使、领馆进行公民登记。
If you?re starting university soon, you?re likely to be feeling excited as well as apprehensive, but try not to worry! For most people, university is one of the best experiences of their lives. It might be even more nerve-racking if you?re going to be studying abroad in an unfamiliar country, but this could also make your experience all the more life-changing. Here are some tips to help you prepare for this new adventure?
1. Learn to cook - if you can't already!
Getting takeaways too often isn?t great for either your health or your student budget, and you?ll probably also miss the food you?re used to eating at home. So ask someone to show you how to make your favorite dishes. Chances are it will be easier than you think! Don?t fret if you?re not a natural cook; as with many things, practice makes perfect.
2. If you?re an international student ? join an orientation program
Orientation programs are extremely useful for helping you to settle in when you?re starting university in a new country. If you?re staying in your home country, nevertheless prepare yourself for a period of (positive) chaos in Freshers? Week! Make sure to get involved as much as possible; this is often the time when students make friendships for life. But also don?t forget that student budget, which brings us to the next point?
3. Consider setting a student budget
?and try your best to stick to it! Obviously you shouldn?t stress about money too much, as you don?t want to ruin your education and enjoyment, but it?s definitely a good idea to work out how much you have to spend on food and rent and how much is left for your own leisure. Be careful not to spend too much on socializing in your first week or so ? remember, there are lots of ways to have fun without breaking the bank. Here are five ways to stretch your student budget.
4. Make sure you?re organized
Don?t forget to make sure everything?s sorted with your accommodation, finances, visas (if you?re studying abroad) and the like ? it may not be much fun sorting out these things, but it will be worth the hassle when you?re settled! Also, don?t forget the equipment you need for your studies ? a laptop, notepad, pens etc. Depending on whether you?re in catered or self-catered accommodation, you may also need kitchen items like crockery and pans.
5. Get ahead with your reading
You will most likely have some reading to do in your course (especially if it?s a text-based subject like English or law), so if your university has already emailed you a list of texts covered in your first semester, it might be a good idea to get ahead, particularly as it will help you manage your workload.
6. Use social media to get chatting with your new course-mates
You might be lucky enough to find a Facebook group of people on the exact same course as you, or simply use the search functions on sites like Twitter to see if anyone else is sharing their excitement of starting university in the same location as you. Alternatively, find the social networks for student societies you?re interested in, and join the conversation.
7. Get packing!
This is where it really gets exciting? To make sure you don?t forget anything, take a look at our blog post on What to Take to University.
