Calling tips

Call during daytime hours in Canada to reach people at home or work; early morning calls may inconvenience recipients.
Use a headset or speaker for clearer audio and hands-free comfort on longer calls.
Have the number written down before calling to avoid delays and wasted minutes.
Test your internet connection before important calls; a stable WiFi or 4G link ensures smooth audio.
Plan call duration in advance; brief check-ins are ideal for managing international call costs.
Use a quiet environment to improve call quality; background noise can affect audio clarity.

Business etiquette

Schedule business calls in advance when possible; respect time zone differences in meeting requests.
Start with a brief greeting and state your purpose within the first 30 seconds.
Speak clearly and at a moderate pace; slight audio delays are common in international calls.
Avoid calling during Canadian holidays and major observances (e.g., Christmas, Canada Day, Labour Day).
If you reach voicemail, leave a clear message with your name, reason for calling, and best callback time in Nigeria.
Follow up with email summaries of important business calls to confirm details.
