Canada

Canada is huge! Located in North America, our country extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. The United States borders Canada to the south, and the Arctic Ocean is our boundary to the north. Canada is celebrated for its spectacular wilderness and wildlife.

A multicultural nation, Canadians are world-famous for being friendly, helpful and welcoming. Our cities, such as Toronto, are vibrant and full of interesting landmarks and attractions.
