• What is Canada's currency?
  Canada's currency is Canadian Dollar, which is composed of 100 cents. Pay attention to the facts that locals will understandably refer to their money simply as "dollars", so make sure you don't get confused.
  
  
• Is traveling within Canada easy?
  Being the second country in the world Canada has many different parts, some are easier to explore than others. The cities all have public transportation and it is usually pretty good (although at times over packed), but the same is not always true regarding distant areas. To avoid unpleasantness, make sure you know where you're going and how to get there, and order cars in advance, if you need them.
  
  
• Do all Canadians speak good English?
  The two official languages in Canada are French and English. All official services are available in both languages and you will find that many Canadians are practically bilingual. This being said, large parts of the country are mainly French speakers. In Quebec the first language is French and you cannot assume that everyone you meet will be fluent in English.
  
  
• Are all credit cards accepted in the country?
  Again, we're dealing with a huge country, and even though the bigger cities like Ottawa and Vancouver will probably accept all the major international credit cards, this is not necessarily true in the country as a whole. Stick to Visa and MasterCard, and you should be fine in most places.
  
  
• What are the national dishes?
  English Canadian dishes are almost identical to those found in the northern parts of United States. Maple syrup is a source of national pride and there are several sweet dishes like nanaimo bars and butter tarts, but if you're looking for an exotic "Canadian Cuisine", you may end up disappointed.
  
  
• Is the country safe for travelling?
  Crime rate in Canada are extremely low and you are generally safe whether you drive, use public transportation or backpack. Still, as in all cases of travelling in foreign countries, remember to keep your eyes open and avoid potentially harmful situations. While there is no real great danger and police control is well maintained, cases of thefts or assaults, as in all westernized cities, still occur at times.
