Canada Overview:
Canada is the second largest country in the world, with population of 33.8 million. It spans six time zones and borders three oceans. With highly developed economics and society, Canada relies heavily on US trade and resembles the neighbouring country economically almost in every way. The North American Free Trade Agreement, including Canada, the US and Mexico, has brought a trade boom for Canada.
With vast wildness, nearly 90% of Canadians live within 200km of the border with the United States and 80 % of the total population living in towns and cities. The predominantly French-speaking province of Quebec is now considered a 'nation' within the united Canada. However, this move in 2006 was considered more symbolic as it has no legal grounding.
The northern border of Canada is creating a debate, as growing interest in oil and gas reserves are attracting great international interest.
Although it is not considered the worlds top financial centre, Canada's major banks, emerged from the financial crisis of 2008-09 among the strongest in the world, owing to the financial sector's tradition of conservative lending practices and strong capitalization. During 2010, Canada's economy grew by 3%, due to decreased global demand and a highly valued Canadian dollar.
Few countries in the world offer as many great life qualities as
Canada. Whether your passion is sports, history, or culture, Canada
has it all. Western Canada is renowned for its beautiful scenery
and mountains, East Canada resembles Europe with cosmopolitan
lifestyle and North Canada offers one of the best preserved
wildlife.

Why choose Canada:
Apart from a great climate and vast amount of activities, Canada has one of the highest living standards in the world.
It offers one of the most efficient and safer banking in the world. With the latest high-tech systems the standard has been kept at the top for many years.
It was hardly affected by the recent global economic crisis and
this is down to keeping conservative, even old-fashioned lending
standards, such as requiring substantial deposits and proof of
income for mortgages. Canadian banks also set aside high levels of
asset portfolio - going beyond international banking standards - so
they can weather losses on defaulting loans and recessionary storms
from the south.
Education is greatly valued in Canada. Primary education is free,
paid by the taxes, and many continue to post-secondary education
after the high school, as this is considered to advance them in
future.
Canada advertises one of the highest life expectancies (about 80 years) and lowest infant morality rates of industrialized countries, which many attribute to Canada's health care system. Although a debate of access to the services is very strong, the quality is second to none.
