The economy of Canada is one of the strongest in the world with a GDP per capita that ranks among some of the highest in the world. Canada’s main industries include mining & oil & gas extraction; manufacturing; services; retail trade; construction; transportation & warehousing; real estate & rental/leasing; finance & insurance services; health care & social assistance services; educational services; public administration services and more.

Overall Canada is an amazing destination with something for everyone – whether you’re looking for adventure or relaxation there’s no shortage of things to do here! From its vibrant cities full of culture to its stunning landscapes it’s no wonder why so many people choose Canada as their holiday destination each year! Canada is located in the North American Time Zone, which is four hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-4). During Daylight Saving Time (DST), clocks are moved forward one hour to UTC-3. DST begins on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November each year. In addition to observing Daylight Saving Time along with other parts of North America, Canada also observes certain holidays with special times or exceptions to its standard time zone. For example, on New Year’s Day all clocks are moved forward by one hour for an additional hour of daylight savings time. On Canada Day (the day celebrating Canada’s independence from Britain), all clocks are moved back by two hours so that people can attend celebrations earlier at night; this is known as “Canada Miracle” or “Little Canada” in some parts of Canada. Canada also shares its time zone with other countries such as the United States and Mexico. This means that people living in these countries will experience the same time as those living in Canada during DST, but may observe different holidays with different times or exceptions to their standard time zone. Overall, Canada follows the North American Time Zone and observes Daylight Saving Time along with other parts of North America. It also has certain holidays where clocks are moved forward or backward for an additional hour so that people can attend celebrations earlier at night.

Program I completed my studies at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo as a freemover, which offers the advantage of being able to choose a location that your home university does not offer. The winter semester at VIU begins in September and ends shortly before Christmas, so the times differ from those of many German universities, which in turn creates a time buffer that can be used for an internship or for traveling. According to Abbreviationfinder, VIU is the abbreviation of Vancouver…

It turned out that other students from my university and…

BU Exchange Program

After a bit of planning and research, I decided to spend a semester abroad through MicroEDU and to Canada – it would be Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario.

After a bit of a laborious search for an apartment, I found accommodation in advance and then flew to Canada at the end of August. There in Toronto – Pearson…
