I hope you can quickly know more Canadian workplace culture. I'd like to share some experience to help you. I'm afraid of your impatient temper.

First, Canada is a democratic country. People concern about equality. So you should show your respect to everyone around you. Try your best to be familiar with Canadian culture and customs.You should be careful for rituals in workplace. You shouldn't show aggressive attitude to make people annoyed and embarrassment. 

Furthermore, you should go to work on time every day. and be responsible for your task with punctually. Don't be a person who is oblivious for everything. You will fast be a valuable asset on your position if you can pay attention to these aspects.

This is your mom and my collaborative hope if you can adapt Canadian workplace with promptness as our prospective expectation.
