I plan on traveling to Canada, but I do have this worry.

To be more specific, I'm not kinda black, my skin's somehow white, but I have black relatives, which means I got wavy hair and some other things.

I would say Canadians are more polite than friendly. Too polite to be really friendly a lot of the time.

I hear this all the time. What does friendly mean in this context? When you're meeting complete strangers for a very brief time (like in an elevator or a coffee shop) do you want them to be close and intimate like a friend? I would think the best you can and should be is polite.
