Canada

The UN consistently rates Canada as the best place to live, work and study. It is the world’s second biggest country, combining cosmopolitan cities with vast expanses of unspoilt natural beauty that offer unlimited recreational activities - from world-class culture to wilderness treks, within the space of a day.

Real estate in Canada is inexpensive and the cost of living is low. Canadians enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world with a public and privately funded healthcare system that ensures all residents have access to excellent medical care. Canada is one of the world's wealthiest nations with an average GDP of CAN$45,085, ranking it 18th in the world. The Quality of Living Survey 2009 from Mercer Human Resource Consulting placed Vancouver 4th in the Top 5 cities in the world for quality of living. Of the top 5 ranked cities in the Americas, all were Canadian - Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary.

Canadians love the great outdoors and during the summer many families leave the cities to go kayaking, hiking, camping, hunting and cycling. Every province has “wilderness walks” and the Trans Canada Trail is the longest recreational trail in the world. In winter, sports like downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, skating, ice hockey, snowboarding and curling are popular.

Canada is a federation composed of ten provinces (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan) and three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut). Like the federal government, each province and territory has a parliamentary government and collects its own rates of income tax.

Multicultural heritage is enshrined in Section 27 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Multiculturalism is the norm and diversity unites the community. Canada is a geographically vast and ethnically diverse country. English and French are the official languages with Chinese, Italian, German, Punjabi and Spanish also spoken. Canada's cultural diversity creates a friendly environment that readily accepts people from other nationalities so you will be made to feel at home as soon as you arrive.
