Canada is a nation blessed as few others. There is the land itself, majestic and always changing, from the Atlantic, to the Pacific and to Arctic oceans, from endless forests of towering evergreens to the sky-scraping Rocky Mountains; from thousands of sparkling lakes and rivers to the natural wonders of the Canadian north; and from quiet, pastoral countryside to the hustle and bustle of our teeming cities.
It is a diverse panorama, but no more diverse than the people who have built our nation. From the many aboriginal nations across Canada to the people from every ethnic background and walk of life who, throughout our history, have chosenCanada as a new home where they can partake of our freedom, beauty and prosperity while celebrating their own rich, cultural traditions.
Wherever you travel in Canada, you will find a warm-hearted welcome. Canadians feel a quiet pride in their country, but one which they share willingly with visitors. We have an unshakeable determination to protect our natural environment and to keep our communities clean, safe, vibrant places to live. Indeed, this profound desire to protect our many blessings is a major reason why the United Nations, year after year, selects Canada as the best place to live in the world. Once you have had a taste of what Canada has to offer, you will understand whyCanadians are so proud of this great land. Visit once, and you will want to come back again and again.
