Canada is one of the most impressive and magnificent destinations in the world for travel and tourism, and a perfect place in which to study English! For nine consecutive years (1994-2002), a United Nations survey found Canada to be among the top three places in the world to live . Canadians enjoy a comfortable standard of living, good health care, social security, a high level of education, and a relatively safe and clean environment. Being a country of immigrants, Canada's objective is to make a strong society open to diversity and innovation in which people can live in security by encouraging multicultural diversity. Since almost all of the world's ethnic groups are represented in Canada, most ethnic foods, clubs and associations representing a variety of ethnic backgrounds are easily accessible.

Canada is a vast country—the second largest in the world. It occupies the whole of the northern part of North America except for Alaska . Its surface area is nearly 10 million km² (4 million sq. mi.). Canada has many wonderful nature areas and Canadians place a high value on their natural environment. There are approximately 39 national parks and reserves in Canada as well as over 2000 designated areas kept as provincial parks, wilderness areas, ecological and nature reserves. Students who come to Canada can witness one of the most beautiful, natural environments in the world in these areas. One can observe and experience our unspoiled lakes and wide rivers, the lush coastlines of either British Columbia or the Atlantic Provinces, our green forests, the majestic and towering Rocky Mountains of Alberta, and our long beaches, just to name a few of our wonderful, natural environmental areas.
