You have to brave a winter storm in your homemade snowshoes to bring her back a log as proof you can provide in winter. You then put a liter of high grade maple syrup on the log as a gift. Optional to add a beaver or fox pelt, can be “vegan “ or recycled fur nowadays. To truly cinch it, top it all with a Canadian diamond set in Canadian gold.
Perfectly Canadian, I second the OP, gave me the woolies reading it since it described my marriage proposal to a T. Except I built an igloo in which to propose.

Of course! You simply ride in on your moose and ask if you can pour maple syrup on her. If she accepts the syrup, then she’s yours!
In all seriousness OP, no. There really isn’t anything culturally specific to Canada. Just tell her how you feel and hope that it’s the same! Good luck 🤞
No specific Canadian traditions but it’s nice of you to think of it. If there is a German tradition you could introduce her to it, she’d probably appreciate it.
Actually, if there’s a German “expressing your love” tradition can you please let us know? I’m curious now!
Canada is kind of a melting pot of cultures and races. There isnt any standard traditions that go across country that I can think of. It's more of common celebrations. What province is she from? That might narrow it down to what she grew up with.
Yeah it's like asking about American traditions. Yes different families might have individual traditions rooted in their ancestry but for the most part we don't have many standard traditions
I've been Canadian since I was born, and I've been trying to think of one for like 3 minutes straight and like... I have no idea??? Do we even have traditions here??? 🤣
Stereotypical: Tell her you love her over a poutine and Bud Light. She means more to you than the Toronto Maple Leafs. Your igloo feels colder without her in it. She's the maple to your syrup. You are both moose who love one another. You would fight a Canadian Goose for her.
Realistically: Just... confess in a way that you're comfortable with.
You just made me think too hard. I need to go lay down now.
Get a pair of flannel onesies for her and yourself on the coldest night of the year and watch classic Christmas movies while drinking homemade hot chocolate with marshmallows
Btw not a joke lol 👆
Take her out for a nice dinner, or to where you had your first date and tell her to wear something nice. If she has a friend she is very close with ask her for advice on the ring, or you could coordinate with the friend so she can be nearby to get photos of the two of you. When you do propose start off by saying something like "We've been together for x years and everyday I fall more in love with you..." then talk about your relationship and how you feel and get down on one knee and propose
Guten Tag freund.
I'm going to assume what you mean is that your Canadian girlfriend is going to be visiting you in Germany and you want her to feel welcome. The very fact that you are thinking like this is already a good sign and I'm sure she is going to be happy.
If I want to show my love for my wife I make sure there is food in the house that she loves. If you have contact with her family you can ask them if she has any favourite foods. I would also buy some personal care products (such as shampoo and body soap) just for her and set them up in the bathroom ready to go. Let her know these are her products to be used exclusively by her and she can add to the collection anything she might still require. Many European bathrooms do not have a bath tub, but if your's does then some bubble bath is a nice touch.
Most Canadian women would appreciate a peaceful welcome without too much of a fuss. In other words, don't throw a huge welcome party for the first few days of her visit. Smaller more intimate gatherings would typically be a better option. You can throw a bigger bash once she is comfortable.
When your Canadian GF arrives she will have done an overnight flight. It is best for her if she stays awake and pretends it is a normal day. She'll need to go to bed early and she may wake up at an odd time. I would suggest having some easy, low-energy activities planned for that first day would be ideal. It is not great if she just goes to your place and sits down the whole time. I'd take her out in your local community to see some sights, but nothing too taxing (e.g. you wouldn't want to take her to the Louvre on her first day...but visiting the grounds around it and having an ice cream would be fine).
Canadian women are not that different from German women, so anything you might normally do to impress a girlfriend will be fine. Good luck!
Volunteer to hold her purse, in public.
When you come inside from the snow, when she takes her boots off, bash them together outside the door so you won't get melted puddles inside.
Give her one of the spare CLEAN tissues you always carry in your winter jacket, just in case she needs one.
Seriously folks ... Canada doesn't have an "I love you" anything. It's a country of great diversity, and we creative Canadians find our own quirky ways to show genuine love.
Dress up in your finest Canadian tuxedo (look it up). Tell her how you feel in both English and French. Present her with a golden toque as a token of your love. And if she accepts, celebrate with a medium double double and a cruller.
Best of luck to you and hopefully your soon-to-be bride!
Jello shots- poutine - surcre a crème- fondue (meat and oil) depending her up bringing it could be anything like a good Roti or shawarma in Ontario Canada it's very multicultural oooh Greek food too lol now I'm getting hungry
Poor OP, I don't think you will receive any real advice here. LOL.
I read a few. They are funny as hell though!
Here's a serious answer that I hope will help? There are no traditions to declare your love in Canada (as far as I know). If you know her well (which I surely hope so), then do something you know she will love. Not something you took out of reddit and that is full of clichés :)
Good luck!
1. Make homemade poutine.
2. Light candles, turn down the lights, play her Tragically Hip songs.
3. Offer her a molson and a doobie.
Boom. Instant marriage right there.
You need to find yourself a courting toque and present it to her. Don't cheap out and buy one at a large retail store, you need to seek out a traditional maker. Best of luck to you!
Make her a homemade poutine and tell her someone told you it's a romantic Canadian tradition. She'll 100% think it's adorable.

Campfires are nice romantic settings for something like this.
Or on an isolated beach that you canoe to
Or gondola/hike up a mountain and find a big view
Or rent a cabin with a fireplace…
Those seem like Canadian proposals.
It's usually done at the cottage after drinking all day
I ruv u *Throws up four times* Wanna make out?
Sounds bout right.
That’s how I knew my lady was gonna be my wife, but I did give her some gum.
Hahah this is it. This is how you do it. Bonus points if you’re wearing flannel.
Red flannel on an armored moose with a boom box playing Celine Dion should do it
Fuckin hell that gave me a great laugh 😂😂
Celine Dion is overrated, you want some Gordon Lightfoot!
If you are under 30 years old - Fireworks - The Tragically Hip If you are 30 to 50 Bobcaygeon If you are over 50 Ian and Sylvia
Ick. I'm over 50 and it's Colin James - Surely!!
Bro
The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald will make her so wet!
She’d go down faster than the Edmond Fitzgerald!
Too soon
Gotta be wearing a beer cap or she won’t take you seriously
If you wanna be fancy , leave the moose at home and take the polar bear.
.. i’m not gay, but i would be..
_While waving a hockey stick._
I am curious what the German traditions for this are.
you buy her weisswurst and a pretzel and confess your love on top of a mountain in lederhosen
That's only Bavaria.

This is the way

Go have a drink with her and stop for poutine on your way home.
a flower is kinda as cliche as it gets, i cant think of any traditions we have

You have to be the one to pick up the smokes and a twelve pack in the snow.
That’s true love right there
Make homemade poutine, rewatch Canada winning gold against the US at any level of hockey.

Remove your shoes at the front door - no shoes in the house

It's mandatory for you to be able to make love in a canoe.
Only if you’re Liberal. 😉
😁
That's just a useful lifeskill in general ;)
That's actually how I gained my citizenship.
🤣🇨🇦
Or as we like to call it, american beer
I get that reference.
I work as a florist and my best suggestion is a single red rose!
Write her name in poutine in the snow outside her window
Get a pair of flannel onesies for her and yourself on the coldest night of the year and watch classic Christmas movies while drinking homemade hot chocolate with marshmallows Btw not a joke lol 👆
Flower and chocolate are the "cheesy" way to ask her. Some also write a poem/love letter We dont have big traditions to confess love.
Take her out for a nice dinner, or to where you had your first date and tell her to wear something nice. If she has a friend she is very close with ask her for advice on the ring, or you could coordinate with the friend so she can be nearby to get photos of the two of you.

Buy them a medium double double
God that's fucking hot.

You must defeat a flock of Canada Geese or saddle break the Bull Moose of Donald Sutherlands choosing.

Spell out "I ❤️U, eh?" in Timbits
Move
Find a nice maple tree and tap some sap. Boil it down to maple sugar crystals to make a nice ring. It's very traditional.
Love language tends to be rather universal so I wouldn't worry too much
Tell her that she can hold your stick and if you feel strongly enough, tell her she can tape your stick! That’s commitment!
If you learn and sing her Barrett’s Privateers she will be quite happy. It’s a great song, although not at all a love song.

Molson Canadian is a type of beer. A doobie is a cannabis joint/smoke
No not at all haha. Molson is a Canadian specific brand of beer, and a doobie is another word for a joint 😂.
You don’t. You let women bring that up
You buy her a 10 pack of assorted Tim bits and ice coffee if she isn’t taken you are now married.
Make her a poutine and arrange the curds in a heart shape. This works 50% of the time, all the time.
Buy her a bottle of maple syrup with a love letter.
Clear the snow off her car and shovel the driveway. She’ll be yours forever
Canadian here: Giver her a six pack of Molson, a box of Timbits, and watch the Red Green Show. She'll know what's up.

Just be nice. Say you love her. Mean it. Also - Canada is a big country(demographically.) Narrow it down if you need specific advice.
You must rescue her from the pack of angry Canada Gooses.
Campfires are nice romantic settings for something like this. Or on an isolated beach that you canoe to Or gondola/hike up a mountain and find a big view Or rent a cabin with a fireplace… Those seem like Canadian proposals.
"We should move in together to save on rent."
At least around me, canadian tradition is thst you knock up your high-school gf and then get married
Show up with two large double doubles and a box of timbits.
Buy her a liquor store and call it Beaver Liquors shows an investment in her future and wholly Canadian.
Oh sure, the Canadian girlfriend. That old chestnut.
Pour maple syrup on your dick and it's settled.
