Gratuity (tipping) is essentially a gift of money, over and above payment due for a service; a 'tip' is given to your server at a restaurant, a taxi cab driver, a hairdresser, etc. Gratuity is not included in your bill.

It is customary to tip approximately 15% to 20% on the total bill before taxes, 5-10% for poor services and 25% for exceptional services. Though tipping is not mandatory, it is common courtesy in Canada.

Most cities and towns in British Columbia have a well-structured bus system in place. Local bus maps and schedules can be collected from any public library or transport station.

TransLink is Metro Vancouver’s regional transport authority. It coordinates buses, SkyTrain (rail), SeaBus (boat) and the West Coast Express. If you plan to use public transport in Metro Vancouver regularly, it is cheaper for you to purchase a pass.

Public transit is the easiest way to get to the UCW campus; we are close to all three major train lines (Canada, Millennium and Expo line), bus stops and the Sea Bus.

Visit TransLink for information on prices, routes and the types of passes available.

It is a good idea to have Canadian currency with you upon your arrival, as there is a chance your debit/credit cards may be incompatible with the local system.

Vancouver weather is generally mild all year round with temperatures averaging from five Celcius in winter to 23 Celcius in summer. Winters can be wet, so don't forget your raincoat and an umbrella.

Post-secondary international students with study permits and people with work permits for six months or longer may also be eligible for MSP.

MSP pays for basic, medically required health costs, for example doctor visits, medical tests, and treatments. Some health costs are not covered by MSP. These include dentists and physiotherapists.

Please contact Health Insurance BC (HIBC) for more information.

All residents of British Columbia must register with MSP. There may be a waiting period, meaning you may not be eligible for MSP coverage for up to three months. As medical costs can be very high, it is recommended that you buy private medical insurance for this time.
