MORE ABOUT CANADA

When people think of Canada, they may imagine the beauty of Niagara Falls or the majesty of the Rocky Mountains. But Canada is much more than a vast land of spectacular scenery, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. Canada is also a nation of immigrants, built by the hard work and devotion of many diverse peoples from around the world.

Canada enjoys a well deserved reputation for political and economic stability, and religious and ethnic tolerance. The United Nations has consistently ranked Canada as one of the top three countries for Quality of Life.

Canada’s major cities are home to immigrants from the four corners of the world. People from India, Pakistan, China, and Middle Eastern countries have established thriving communities in Canada, free to practice their religion of choice and maintain their own traditions and cultures. In cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, plus a host of smaller communities, immigrants and the children of immigrants have made a tremendous impact on Canadian society. Canada has achieved this rich ethnic diversity through an Open Door Immigration Policy, which does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, political belief or nationality.

All Canadian residents are entitled to business, home and property ownership without restriction. Education is free from JK to 12. Post-secondary education is very inexpensive and Canada’s colleges and universities are world class. Health care is free in most provinces or available at nominal cost in other provinces. The social security system is designed to help all residents without restriction.

The economy in Canada is healthy and thriving. Job creation in recent years has been unprecedented. Canada has outperformed the US economy in many respects. As part of the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Canada enjoys free trade with the United States and Mexico, making Canada’s access to the world’s largest market the envy of the world.
