Living in Canada

Canada is the second largest country in the world. More than 80% of the Canadian people live in the city area. From mountains to lakes to urban life, Canada is known for its abundance of nature. 

IS LIVING IN CANADA WORTH IT?
Over the years, the influx of large numbers of immigrants has made Canada one of the world’s most diverse countries and celebrates multiculturalism. It also offers immigrants a welcoming environment and many benefits other countries might not offer. Canada is also known for its healthcare system, which covers most expenses, making healthcare affordable for all residents. The country is safe to live in thanks to one of the world’s lowest rates of gun violence and is also known as a sanctuary state.

THE CANADIAN WAY OF LIFE

Population 
Canada has a population of about 36.7 million. The majority of Canadians are of European descent from early French and British colonists, as well as later immigrants from eastern and southern Europe. There are currently more than 260 different ethnic origins reported across Canada. It is also home to a large aboriginal population made up of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.

Canadian values 
The Canadian way of life will vary from one individual to the next. Canadians practice many different religions, and over 20 percent claim no religious affiliation. Canadians do share important values such as pride, a belief in equality and diversity, and respect for all individuals.

Climate 
Although much of the north has a particularly harsh arctic climate, that area is mostly uninhabited. The most populous regions of Canada, which lie in the southern regions along the US border, see four distinct seasons a year. Although winter lasts 
longer than summer in most of the country, the summers are quite hot. Rainfall varies from light to moderate, and there are heavy snowfalls in some areas.
