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 is conducted?
Background to Business in Canada Although close to the USA geographically, there are definitely differences in general approach to business between the USA and Canada and Canadians are sometimes known to take exception to any assumption being made on this matter. Canada is a large, vibrant economy with a population of over thirty million people. It has a number of global companies and an extremely successful export industry. Canada deserves consideration 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 more lightly used. Canadian Business Structures Many Canadian companies have abandoned traditional hierarchical approaches in favour of leaner, flatter structures. It is important to do as much homework as possible on any potential clients or suppliers before initial contacts are made. As a general rule, the more remote from major centres of population, the more likely a company is to be traditionally hierarchical. Canadian Management Style Canadian managers are not expected to manage in an authoritarian or paternalistic manner but are, nonetheless, expected to be decisive. Managers will consult widely when a decision is called for and expect input from all concerned parties.

Canadian Meetings In comparison with meetings in the US, meetings in Canada are relatively more formal. Thus punctuality is expected and meetings often start with some type of polite small talk. Body language tends to be quite reserved 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 the meeting 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 for alcohol 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 much more low key. Reserve, understatement, diplomacy and tact are key attributes and contrast sharply with the more direct approach of many Americans. However, it is also unusual to find Canadians using overtly coded language. '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 it is politic to provide French translations of any marketing and promotional literature to be used when trying to enter the market Canadian Dress Code When doing business in any of the larger cities, business suits and ties are standard attire for men with conservative suits and dresses for women

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