Here in Canada, shake the hand of both man and wife. if I know them really well, a hug and a kiss would be appropriate....then go play hockey and have a beer.

Shake hands with both. Kiss the wife only if you are all close friends. Never kiss the man unless he is within your own culture group and it is ok.

Handshake for the husband, two cheek kiss for the wife. I`m in Montreal Canada. Maybe it`s just a Quebec thing.

Brazilians are known for their warmth and relaxed behavior. We shake hands, kiss on the cheek, and if you are friends you hug as well, and show how happy you are for meeting people. An additional treat, display your best welcoming smile.

Well, I just shake everyone's hand. At least that's what we do in Canada for the most part.
