WHY GETTING NEGATIVITY @ THE START OF THE YEAR - A YEAR FULL OF HOPES

Interesting facts about Canada

• At 9 984 670 sq km and comprised of 6 time zones, Canada is huge!
• Canada is also home to the longest street in the world. Yonge Street in Ontario starts at Lake Ontario, and runs north through Ontario to the Minnesota border, a distance of almost 2000 kilometres.
• Toronto's Rogers Centre (formerly known as the SkyDome) is home to the largest Sony big screen in the world, measuring 10 m x 33.6 m
• The Blackberry Smartphone was developed in Ontario, at Research In Motion's Waterloo offices.
• The Big Nickel in Sudbury, Ontario is the world's largest coin. It is a huge reproduction of a 1951 Canadian nickel and measures 9 meters in diameter.
• Canada holds the record for the most gold medals ever won at the Winter Olympics, since taking 14 Golds at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
• Three Million Lakes: more lake area than any other country in the world. The Great Lakes alone contain about 18 per cent of the world's fresh lake water. That's a lot of water
• 10% of the World's Forests: Canada actually has 30 per cent of the world's boreal forest and 10 per cent of the world's total forest cover
• National Parks Bigger Than Countries: Canada is so big that even our parks are bigger than countries. Just look at Nahanni National Park Reserve in the Northwest Territories
• People in Churchill leave their car doors unlocked in case their neighbours need to make a quick escape from polar bears
• No cows in Canada are given artificial hormones for milk production
• Every year the Netherlands sends Canada thousands of tulips to show their gratitude
• The quality of their tap water is often better than bottled water
• They have a $300 collector's gold coin that has a narwhal on it.
• Canada is the most educated country in the world
• It has an “Apology Act.”
• In the 1930 World Cup, Canada's hockey team was so badass they didn't even have to play knockout rounds and were placed directly in the final game.
• A part of the country actually has less gravity than the rest of Earth.
• George Street in Newfoundland has more bars and pubs per square feet than on any street in North America
• Canada does not allow pre-employment or randomized employee drug tests
• An Ontario man invented Hawaiian pizza
• The Citizenship and Immigration Minister declared that Santa Claus is Canadian
• The term “trick or treat” was first used in Alberta
• The University of Victoria offers a course called the “Science of Batman.”
• Half of Canada's provinces (which account for more than 85% of the population) are governed by women.
• Studies find Canadians to be the second-happiest people in the world. And they're only getting happier.
• Famous Canadians include Pamela Anderson, Leonard Cohen, Avril Lavigne, Michael J. Fox,Carrie-Anne Moss, Mike Myers, Ryan Reynolds, Justin Bieber, Keanu Reeves and ofcourse the great comedian Jim Carrey.

Canada basically got its name by mistake. When Jaques Cartier, a French explorer, came to the new world, he met with local Natives who invited them to their ‘kanata' (the word for ‘village'. The party mistakenly thought the name of the country was “Kanata” or Canada

Keep a Note: Its us going and planning for canada, and Not canada dreaming about us! so perspective should be from our end...!

Thanks for sharing. Interesting facts +1 to you!

Dear friend
I will just share the facts with you
(1) My sister graduated from Punjab University Patiala (India) went on to work in Infosys, went to USA @ 1,25,000-00 PA, After one year shifted to Canada (Vancouver) @ 80,000 PA and now after one year she has a stable job @ 1,00,000-00 CAD and she is pretty happy ( I would not say she had to go through a very tough time or she had to struggle a lot or clean streets or do meager jobs-- no)

(2) My Brother In Law- did his MBA from IIM (one of the top Institutions of India), Had to struggle a little bit in Canada, Worked as Store manager in MAC's store for six months and is now Working in Telus @ Abt 1,00,000-00 CAD (Little bit of struggle)

(3) One of my cousin -Shifted from UK to Canada- Had to work in a factory (manual job) for two months and is now Territory manager for Alberta and Saskatchewan for a renowned retail store. He earns in excess of 1,00,000-00 CAD

[size=10pt][size=10pt]FACTS[/size][/size]

(1) The friend who shifted from UK to Canada- Says he has more disposable income, HE is better of in Canada, He can survive with single salary which was not a possibility in UK.

(2) Sister's observation- Canada is better then USA (And please note she says that stationed in Vancouver where we all believe that jobs are less and salaries are low)

(3) Brother In law's opinion- Canada is Better then USA.


The above are facts Sister is " QA ", BOI is "Portfolio Manager " and they are all happy, Yes when we shift our basis we have to struggle, Yes we will find some negative stories but overall we should be prepared for some struggle before settling into our dream Job and our comfort Zone..

I further dispute that you can not live on a single salary/ or you can not survive if you are doing labor job or you can not live sweeping streets , No my friend you very well can do it.

MIn Wages in canada are 10.55 $ per hour, If you are working 5 days a Week, 40 Hours a week you get 422$ per week or 1688 $ per month, You may not have a fancy car , you may not have best of accommodation but mu brother you will survive on this amt.

DO NOT BE DEPRESSED DO NOT INFLUENCED WITH SUCH ARTICLES, there will always be positive and negative stories around, Trust your instinct, Do your research and go ahead.
Remember
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
Theodore Roosevelt
