Regular socializing with fellow Canadians is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Chinese way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Canadians in China, residing in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Canadians in Shanghai or Canadians in Beijing.

It is just so easy to find other international people and global minds with InterNations. I didn´t know there were so many in Shanghai.
