    Question: Describe Canada geography, proximity to other countries

    Canada is a North American country consisting of 10 provinces and three territories stretching from

    Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west; to the north lays the Arctic Ocean.

    Shares the common land border with the U.S. to the south and Alaska to the northwest is the longest

    in the world.

    Question:Are there cultural influences or prohibitions on the way business isconducted?

    Background to Business in Canada

    Although close to the USA geographically, there are definitely differences in general approach to businessbetween the USA and Canada and Canadians are sometimes known to take exception to any assumptionbeing made on this matter. Canada is a large, vibrant economy with a population of over thirty millionpeople. It has a number of global companies and an extremely successful export industry. Canada deservesconsideration in its own right, rather than as merely a neighbour of the States.

    Body language tends to be more reserved, speech patterns are less strident and language is generally morelightly used.

    Canadian Business Structures

    Many Canadian companies have abandoned traditional hierarchical approaches in favour of leaner, flatterstructures. It is important to do as much homework as possible on any potential clients or suppliers beforeinitial contacts are made. As a general rule, the more remote from major centres of population, the morelikely a company is to be traditionally hierarchical.

    Canadian Management Style

    Canadian managers are not expected to manage in an authoritarian or paternalistic manner but arenonetheless, expected to be decisive. Managers will consult widely when a decision is called for and expectinput from all concerned parties.

    Canadian Meetings

    In comparison with meetings in the US, meetings in Canada are relatively more formal. Thus punctuality isexpected and meetings often start with some type of polite small talk. Body language tends to be quitereserved with few visible shows of emotion or anger.

    Meetings' approach is of one at a time speaking and interruptions are generally frowned upon and

    considered to be rude. Everybody expects a 'democratic right' to be allowed to have their say within themeeting and for their opinions and views to be respected, regardless of position within the organization.

    If invited to a business meal in Canada, it is most likely to be for a lunch or possibly a breakfast meeting.Although it is not unknown to be invited out for dinner, it is less common than in some other countries.

    It is not really considered impolite to discuss business issues over the meal. It is relatively unusual foralcohol to be served with a meal at lunchtime.

    Canadian Communication Styles

    One striking difference between the US and Canada is that Canadian communication patterns are muchmore low key. Reserve, understatement, diplomacy and tact are key attributes and contrast sharply with themore direct approach of many Americans. However, it is also unusual to find Canadians using overtly codedlanguage. 'Yes' will usually mean 'yes' and 'no' will mean 'no'.

    Canada is officially bilingual and this fact needs to be recognized in your dealings with the country. Thus itis politic to provide French translations of any marketing and promotional literature to be used when tryingto enter the market

    Canadian Dress Code

    When doing business in any of the larger cities, business suits and ties are standard attire for men withconservative suits and dresses for women

    Question: What is the Time difference between India and Canada?

    Current time zone offset: UTC/GMT -4 hours
