Looking for the baggage list for studying in Canada

I will study in Toronto, Canada at the end of August. I'll give you the list my senior gave me ~

Huron's classmates, before you look at this form, I want to say something first. We go abroad to work hard for pride, honor and shame. Moreover, as a man in his twenties, he should have a sense of responsibility. Think about what our family expects of you. You bear the expectations of the whole family!

A person wandering in Canada, hard and lonely, I think you should first have such a position, that is, in a foreign country, life is out of the question, what you have to experience is survival! It doesn't matter how you live. Men should be able to endure hardships and experience hardships, and then make their own world. Everyone will say you are NB!

If you want to enjoy the same life in Canada, the normal life of a domestic person, this situation is the simplest, you don't need to go abroad, China is the most comfortable, and Canada doesn't even have a sauna or bathtub. . . . This is a bit extreme, but I hope my schoolmates, men, do something!

The following is the text:

Ontario is a province with a comfortable climate in Canada. A temperate continental climate, hot and dry in summer, the highest 40 degrees; It is cold and rainy in winter, with a minimum of MINUS 35 degrees. As the most prosperous province in Canada, life is more convenient. As for Little London, because most people return to China in summer, they will not catch up with the hottest time in July and August. Besides, London is close to two big lakes, and it feels like a temperate maritime climate, much like Dalian. Winter -35 degrees is an extreme situation, which is generally the feeling of Shenyang in winter, while-17 and-18 degrees are common temperatures. )

Luggage category:

1. Travel trolley; This can hold 10kg.

2. Computer bag (I believe that if you have a notebook, you will definitely have it, and the computer bag can be taken with you on the plane);

3. Two standard suitcases (the total length, width and height shall not exceed 158cm). Just ask where you can sell suitcases; The weight allowance for each case of Air Canada is 23 kilograms. Be careful to be fined when flying to Beijing and Shanghai on domestic flights, because the weight of domestic flights is limited to 20kg, so leave something to buy in Beijing and Shanghai. (Actually, it's just asking someone to say hello to the airport. You can say anything in China and you won't be fined. )

4. If the pallet is too heavy, you can consider woven bags.

Note: Before going to the airport, the luggage should be weighed by weighing scale to avoid embarrassment in unpacking. Overweight is acceptable within 1 kg; (more than 5- 10kg. I don't think it is difficult for you to find someone. ) 2-3 hours in advance, that's right. You should board the plane early, or the luggage rack will be full. You can only worry. The plane is long-distance, so passengers have more than one piece of luggage. The way to grab enough space for luggage is to arrive early.

To sum up, according to the standard of Air Canada, you can carry 58kg luggage, two 23kg suitcases, one 10kg suitcase or a backpack. Then there is the computer bag. So in theory, you can bring four bags, and each bag can exceed 1-5kg.

Clothing category: Wearing clothes depends mostly on personal habits, and everyone has their own style. The following contents are for public reference only.

Canada is rich in resources, and indoor heating is very hot in winter. Don't wrap yourself like zongzi, you will feel dizzy if you take it off indoors. Canadians like the combination of "down jacket+thick long-sleeved T-shirt or pullover". Sweaters are prone to static electricity and don't mind taking them. I didn't find any down jackets in Canada, at least not in Little London. Canadians don't dress the same way, and their physique is far stronger than that of China, and they are also very frost-resistant and incomparable. )

1. Down jacket, with 2 pieces, thin and thick, long and short; It's best to wear a longer down jacket over your knees, or your knees will catch cold and get into trouble in the future. The future means after 50 years old. . .

2. A thick long-sleeved shirt.

3. Recommended dress, evening dress and leather shoes. Formal dress is required for semi-formal balls, ceremonial balls and scholarship ceremonies. Personally, I feel that unless you are willing to play and have strong communication skills, you will not have the opportunity to attend the party, and foreigners will not take you to the party. Most of China people's own parties are organized by pro-establishment people and are not close to us. In fact, many people don't need formal clothes in the first year, and there are relatively more opportunities in the second year because they are already familiar with the situation.

If you think it can be used, the standard for boys is a white shirt, 1-2 ties, shoes, watches, glasses, socks and so on. We should match them according to the standard of formal occasions and wear formal clothes, which requires practice. If you never wear it normally, wear it suddenly. . . Then you are a joke and you are at a loss.

4. Bring five or six sets of short-sleeved shirts and shorts. Summer in London is very hot. In order to prevent cold, most houses are not ventilated, and summer is simply an oven. Short-sleeved shirts are very common and can also be bought here. American eagle has nice clothes.

5. Bring 3-4 sets of thermal underwear.

6. Scarves, gloves and cold-proof headgear must be brought. If you want to go to the gym or swim, bring relevant accessories. If you want to exercise, you need fitness gloves and running shoes with wristbands. Advanced bodybuilders need fitness belts, knee pads and safflower oil. As for sports food, you should buy it here. All kinds, cheap, must be true. If you swim, you can swim here without a swimming cap. The rest of the sports equipment depends on personal habits and what sports you do. Baseball, basketball, squash, ice hockey, hockey and hockey are very popular here. . . Rugby football But as a strong man, he may be the only one who has ever experienced a real football match. I suggest that students should be careful when playing football. . . . . Please bring long swimming trunks for boys. Canadians believe that homosexuals wear briefs.

To sum up, in fact, this boy's collocation is basically a T-shirt and jeans.

Footwear:

1. Bring a pair of boots or hiking shoes; Boots are important. The snow is too thick in winter.

2. Slippers or sandals, slippers are very popular here and more expensive;

3. The price of shoes here is basically the level of domestic Nike and Adidas, ranging from 500 RMB to 1000 RMB. The price of shoes is basically the same at home and abroad, but it is still relatively cheap here. But I really feel that converse shoes are very expensive here. . .

Daily necessities:

1. 1 nail clippers;

2. It is recommended to bring 2 pairs of myopia glasses; Glasses are expensive, and optometry requires 80 yuan.

3. Sunglasses (strong ultraviolet rays in summer); This must be combined with sun protection. There is too much sunshine here. I have been here for a month. From September to 10, I have the skin color of Kobe and McGrady. . . . Also, don't play tanning like foreigners, because the skin types are different, and people in China are at high risk of skin cancer.

4. Bring some gifts from China to foreign friends. It is recommended to bring silk ornaments, which are light and decent; Don't bring tea, it's too vulgar, and it is estimated that foreigners can't drink it. . .

5. Towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, facial cleanser, shower gel, shampoo and other items should be brought for half a month. Personal belongings can be purchased here. Toothbrushes are very expensive. It is recommended to bring more in China, and toothpaste is also expensive. However, it's heavy, so wait for the discount here. Personal items are often discounted here. Bath dew shampoo is cheap here, and the variety is 10 times more than that in China, so it is very particular. But I can't see it without Sassoon. . . .

Certificate category:

Huron's admission notice

payment receipt

passport

An exit letter (something received with a passport)

(It is best to leave copies of important documents at home, such as the first page of passport and visa page, in case of emergency. )

Don't take China's identity card, it is invalid, just look at the passport when going abroad;

Those who have a driver's license in China can bring it, and the inspection period between G/KLOC-0 and G2 can be exempted from inspection after notarization here;

You don't need to bring your Cai Dong student ID card, although we are very grateful for the education of our alma mater.

TOEFL IELTS test report is not needed either.

Stationery category:

It is recommended to bring some basic stationery. Loose-leaf paper is rich and popular in Canada, so you don't need to bring too many notebooks. Highlighter pens are widely used in Canada. Canadians like to answer questions with a pencil, but it depends on personal habits. I still take more water-based pens. I use 10 a year. If I buy them, I will go bankrupt. . .

Kitchenware: (Actually, I think these things can be bought in Canada-Gan Song, Song: I quite agree with you, especially without a rice cooker, because the voltage is different, so high-power things can't be converted).

You don't need to bring kitchen utensils if you live in a school dormitory or a homestay. Bring two lunch boxes or microwave boxes, chopsticks and spoons. If you rent a house outside, you mainly need to bring knives (foreign knives are not suitable for Chinese food), and other things are recommended to be bought in Canada, which is not very expensive. The dollar store has basic kitchen utensils. You don't need to take them. Just bring a kitchen knife from fine steel. Ah, the dollar store, a magical place! ! !

Electronics: (in view of the voltage conversion problem, it is best to buy them all in Canada, and they are not expensive)

1. The network cable king will give it, and the most expensive local network cable costs 30 yuan. Huron's classmates bring their own, 3-5 meters is enough.

The computer peripherals here are very expensive, so you'd better bring a pair of mouse, keyboard and headphones. If there is a demand for video, then the camera

3. Batteries: No.7 and No.5 (if you use more, bring more. The battery price is equivalent to 5.5 times that of China. ) It is better to bring a rechargeable one. . Once and for all, but pay attention to the charger to be suitable for 1 10v.

4. All 220-volt electrical appliances need to buy transformers (the input of most laptops and mobile phones is 1 10V to 220V, and no transformers are needed). The voltage in Canada is 1 10V, so don't buy a transformer with high rated power (if you want something with high power such as live wind blowing, it is recommended to buy it here, which is not expensive). Just bring a small transformer and a big transformer. Even if it is changed, the power will be much worse, and the big one will be dead.

5. With 1 power board and 2 to 3 adapter plugs. You can also buy it in a dollar store.

6. Calculator, electronic dictionary (not available here, not needed by foreigners), digital camera, Chinese mobile phone. You must bring literary genre. Don't think you have a large vocabulary. Going to a foreigner's supermarket to buy a dish or going to a restaurant to cook a meal can be depressing. It's all words like Mediterranean millet. . . Shit. . . It's killing me

There is also a mobile phone. The signal of domestic mobile phones will also be weakened accordingly. If you bring a Samsung, you can basically only use it outdoors. . The signal shielding of the teaching building is very strong. The best signals are Nokia and iPhone.

7. If you are familiar with the English system, it is recommended to buy a computer in Canada, which is much cheaper than in China. Just install a Chinese system. If you buy a computer in Canada, please bring enough pirated software, especially office. The student version of office here costs 120 yuan.

Drugs:

There are many fried foods in Canada, and vegetables are raw, so China people will not get used to them at first. Therefore, it is recommended to bring more cold medicines and vitamin tablets for clearing away heat and toxic materials. Cold granules, anti-inflammatory drugs, antipyretics, analgesics, antipyretic drugs, antidiarrheal drugs, eye drops, traumatic injury drugs, skin drugs, cough-relieving and expectorant drugs, etc. You should also bring alcohol and cotton balls. It is recommended to bring some eye drops such as Xinleton. The eye drops here are not suitable for our Asian black eyes. You'd better bring your own medicine. First, seeing a doctor here is free, but you don't buy medicine. . . The second is that the name of this drug is too complicated to understand at all. Unless you have reached a certain NB level, you can understand how to analyze the chemical chain and say names like ciprofloxacin casually in English. . .

Bedding category:

The school only has a small pillow and a thin blanket as bedding, so mattresses and quilts are still necessary. It is recommended to buy vacuum-packed bedding in high-end hotels, which is light in weight, easy to package and has good warm-keeping effect. Bedding here is more expensive except pillows. There is no need to bring a thick quilt. Indoor heating is very hot in winter. There is a little hint in it. You can buy a vacuum bag to wrap quilts, down jackets and the like, and then vacuum it to make thin cubes to save space.

Food:

You can bring dry goods, such as instant noodles and soup. You can't bring fresh food, fruit and meat. Once in Canada, it is not good to be sniffed out by police dogs. If you have the opportunity to cook by yourself, Huron means that if you are assigned to Henderson Building, you can bring some spices, but in fact, most things are sold in supermarkets in China, only to the taste of the south, especially Guangdong.

Take two bottles or two bottles of wine and cigarettes at most. If you take more, you will be fined. The big German shepherd can smell it.

Note: Generally, entry inspection from Vancouver is stricter, while entry inspection from Toronto is looser or even absent.

Money:

Whereas the tuition fee has been paid to the school, and the living expenses for the first year are 10000 yuan (including the money for the return ticket, which includes about 1400 to 1700 yuan). According to China's foreign exchange management policy, each person can carry no more than $5,000 when going abroad, and the foreign currency carrying certificate issued by the bank can carry no more than 10000. At the same time, take some RMB or Hong Kong dollars with you when you go back to China to take a bus, take a taxi, transfer or stay in a hotel. I feel that the biggest expense is books, and the average price of a textbook is 100 yuan. . . Moreover, air tickets are a bit expensive, and you can buy them at 1000- 1200. It only took 2 100 (including air tickets) to go out in the first year. I think my junior, especially my junior, is not as hard as me, but 4000 yuan a year is enough. If you want to travel and pursue a slightly better life, then 8000 yuan is the best. . You have no conscience, and you ask for money from your family. . Also, if you haven't checked the amount of foreign currency, don't exaggerate. 1-20,000 nobody cares. If you can change it into a two-dollar coin, please try to change it. The most abnormal thing about Toronto airport is that luggage carts have to be coin-operated, and international students have no coins at all.

Remarks:

Remember to leave a receipt when you buy more expensive things in Canada. Tax refund is useful. You can apply for a mother-child credit card at a domestic bank, just in case. Don't look at the invoice when you refund the tax, and push the tuition rent when you refund the tax. The purpose of leaving the invoice is to return the goods.

Things you don't need to bring: paper towels (there are paper towels everywhere, which are free), shower gel, shampoo (similar to domestic prices).

Bank card:

There are five major commercial banks in Canada, among which BMO and TD Canada Trust of TD Bank in Toronto have the largest market share in London. The debit card system in Canada is different from that in China. Debit cards have two accounts: a checking account (with low interest) and a savings account (with high interest). Remember to open a savings account when opening a card. Leave some money in a checking account for a rainy day, and some money in a savings account to earn interest. Both accounts will be displayed in your debit card. When the check has no money, you can transfer the money from the savings account to the checking account through online banking (remember to open online banking) or telephone (with Chinese service). In addition, if you carry a lot of dollars, you can also open a dollar account with a debit card.

As for credit cards, we should also use them frequently to accumulate credit points. Generally, 500 yuan is the most at first. If used frequently, the credit line can be extended to 1500 yuan to 2,500 yuan after half a year. This is very important for you to buy a return ticket (the return ticket must be bought by credit card). It's best not to buy a return ticket for the Air Canada website, but it can be expensive 1/3. You have to go to a travel agency to buy it, and you can bargain in many places without a credit card. Repayment method: You can transfer the funds in your debit card checking account to your credit card through online bank transfer. There is no charge for inter-bank transfer (at least there is no charge for transfer between BMO and TD). Opening a credit card in BMO requires a mortgage of 125% in Chequing account of its debit card, and opening a credit card in TD requires related management fees.

Special note for girls:

1. Accessories:

Canada has no beautiful accessories, and foreigners' eyes are generally backward. Hats, scarves, sweaters and other accessories that usually go with clothes should be brought.

2. shoes:

The boots here are more practical, but the cost performance is not very high. The same price is not as good as the domestic style.

3. Daily necessities:

Sanitary napkins. It's a bit straightforward, but it's expensive to buy sanitary napkins here. Please bring more if you can.

4. Cosmetics:

If you are a MM who likes to use Japanese cosmetics, buy more and take them with you, because you can hardly buy Japanese things here. (Toronto is too ancient, but it is also very troublesome to go there. If you like North American brands, such as Clinique and Vichy, don't worry. There is only one question here, and I don't know much about it, that is, whether the cosmetics in North China are suitable for people's skin, but perfumes and cosmetics are really cheap and there are many kinds.

5. Medicine! (very important)
