Canada comprises around 2/5ths of the North American continent, making it the second largest country in the world in area behind Russia. Its land border with the United States is 5,525 miles long. Despite Canada’s immense spread, it’s one of the world’s most thinly-populated countries. Canada’s capital is its 4th largest city, Ottawa. This is roughly 250 miles northeast of Toronto and 125 miles west of Montreal, Canada’s first and second cities. The third biggest city is Vancouver, an entry point to Canada’s interior.
The country is founded on multiculturalism. Canada proudly welcomes immigrants from all over the world. Indeed, Quebec’s original Residency by Investment program was the first of the contemporary area, serving as a prototype for other countries to follow. The Canada passport is one of the most powerful in the world, enabling holders to enjoy visa-free access to 175 countries.
