Cameroon In both areas, men shake hands with each other. In the Francophone south, close friends may embrace while brushing cheeks and kissing the air along with a handshake. In the Anglophone north, close friends have a unique handshake in which, as they pull their hands back they snap the other person’s middle finger with their thumb. As a sign of respect men often lower their head and avert their eyes when greeting someone superior to them in age or position. Some Muslims will not shake hands across genders. Since this is a hierarchical society, elders are greeted first. Women tend not to look the other person in the eye even if it is another woman. Greetings should never be rushed. It is important to take time to inquire about the person’s family and other matters of general interest during the greeting process.
Canada The most common greeting is the handshake. It should be firm and accompanied by direct eye contact and a sincere smile. Wait until invited before using someone's first name although Canadians tend to move to a first-name basis rapidly. French Canadian friends may greet each other by lightly kissing on the cheeks (once on the left cheek and once on the right). If using French in Quebec always use the formal pronoun "vous" (you) when speaking to someone and do not switch to the informal "tu" unless invited to do so
