format or by buying weekly or monthly passes.
The weekly and monthly passes allow you to make as many

The car
 The
driver's license
It is mandatory for a driver to hold a driver's
license of the right class if he wants to drive in Canada.
If you are the holder of a driver's license
from your country of origin, but not one of a province of
Canada, you may use it for a period of 90 days starting
from the date of your arrival. After that period has expired
you must obtain one from the province you reside in.
In order to obtain a driver's license you
must take a theory and actual driving tests. You will find
many agencies offering to train you for both tests.
Telecommunication
You will find public telephones all over
the Canadian territory, belonging to companies such as Bell
Canada or AT&T. Cellular telephones are available at
companies such as Fido, Telus, Rogers AT&T and Bell
Mobilite.
You may obtain information about the different
plans by contacting their offices.
Entertainment
Restaurants
Canada offers a great variety of typical restaurants,
many offering international specialties and just as many
fast food chains whose prices vary according to location
and service
Movies
Canada, especially Montreal, is considered
one of the important places for the film industry market.
Thus, you may enjoy movies of all genres in your native
