To all Canadians on this list:
 
In your experience with immigrants, how much effort do they put into learning FFU?
 
With road signs, maps and automobile instrumentation in kilometres and metres, do immigrants bother to learn miles and if they do, do they have a comfort level with them?
 
With gasoline sold by the litre, weather forecasts in metric units and store scales in kilograms, do immigrants bother to become familiar with FFU?  It would seem that even if they tried to learn FFU the lack of real references to aid in understanding would prevent them from ever having a real grasp of FFU. 
 
When one comes from a metric country and goes to another country where metric is used I would suspect the person would just continue to use metric as he already has experience with it.  Is this the experience of immigrants to Canada?
