Canadian Social Norms & Values

Canadians have unwritten rules. This course makes them visible: when to say 'sorry', how big a tip to leave, what counts as being late, how close to stand, what makes a good neighbour, and how Canada's values of diversity, gender equality, and LGBTQ+ respect show up in everyday interactions. Built around real situations every newcomer will face.
