The world of dating can be a tricky place to navigate, but luckily, one TikToker has helpfully broken down what you should be looking for when on the search for a significant other in Canada.

TikToker @jimmerplslikeme, who creates funny sketches related to all things Canuck, shared a hilarious list of traits and qualities that are "green flags to look for when dating a Canadian."

First up is something very important: their Tim Hortons order.

"When they order Timbits they asked for a couple extra chocolate ones," Jimmer shared. "Oh baby, taking initiative is hot."

Knowing how to tap a maple tree is something that is seen as a green flag, as well as a unique skill important for hockey and figure skaters.

"They literally know how to drive a Zamboni — more like zam-bone-me," he hilariously explained.

Next on the list is someone who has thousands of dollars in Canadian Tire money "just stashed away for a rainy slash snowy day," because hey, there's always something you need from them!

"They own a truck because of work and on the back aren't 73 political stickers," was another green flag for Jimmer.

As well, knowing how to paddle a canoe and owning snowshoes are apparently something to look out for when scoping out a new partner.

The ability to "knock Shania Twain out of the park" on karaoke night is also allegedly an important quality.

"Man! That feels like a green flag," Jimmer said to the tune of "Man! I Feel Like A Woman."

And finally, Jimmer went in for a zinger for his last green flag: "They don't work for Hockey Canada head office."

Best of luck looking for love out there, folks!
