Canada is a vast nation with a wide variety of geological formations, climates, and ecological systems. It has rain forest, prairie grassland, deciduous forest, tundra, and wetlands. Canada has more lakes and inland waters than any other country. It is renowned for its scenery, which attracts millions of tourists each year. On a per-capita basis, its resource endowments are the second richest in the world after Australia.

Although Canada is the second largest country in the world it only has about the same population as the state of California, which is one-25th its size.
This is because the north of Canada, with its harsh Arctic and sub-Arctic climates, is sparsely inhabited. Most Canadians live in the southern part of the country.

French and English are the official languages, and at one time most Canadians were of French or English descent. However, diversity increased with a wave of immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that brought
in people from many other European nations.

Canada's prosperity and diversity have encouraged a variety of artistic pursuits. Most major cities have symphony orchestras, opera companies, classical and modern dance groups, and live theatre. Canadian popular musicians have built highly successful careers both in Canada and in the world at large.
Canadian writers have also gained worldwide recognition, as have painters, sculptors, filmmakers, and architects.

With its vast wilderness, natural beauty, rich culture and friendly people, Canada offers visitors an exciting travel destination with unique experiences around every corner!
