I received a sink faucet comes with two water hoses for hot and cold water. But the Nut is too big. What is Hose Nut standard size in Toronto of Canada? Is it 3/8" diameter for the Nut?

Thank you in advance.

It depends on the stop valve you are attaching it to. If you have 3/8" nut attached to the hose, you will need a stop valve with the same output size. If they mismatch, you can either change the valve or change the the hose. That might be tougher in your case, as the other end of the hose looks specialized.
 
Neal is always right ... They will want to know why the standard (3/8" is standard) does not work. An adapter can be found ... or you can change out those old angle stops for nice new ones. These are the events in DIY where you get the privilege of doing even more than you expected!

May have a 1/2" instead of a 3/8 stop valve.
It allows for more flow.
Just change the stops, if there old it's a good idea to change them anyway.
