Attractive and Welcoming Environment
Canada is also a country of diverse geography, and
there is much to experience in its great outdoors: from
the lush coastline of British Columbia, the majestic
Rocky Mountains of Alberta, the big skies of the prairies,
to the 'maple sugar country' in the Great Lakes and
St. Lawrence and the rugged hills and picturesque coastline
of the Atlantic provinces.
Canada has a variety of tourist destinations. There
are many museums, seasonal festivals, and exciting nightlife
that each province and territory has to offer. Canada
also has a beautiful countryside which means that most
outdoor recreational activities are very popular here,
whether it be skiing, cycling, hiking, camping, sightseeing,
or even ice sailing.
There are many climatic variations in Canada, ranging
from the permanently frozen ice caps north of the 70th
parallel to the lush vegetation of British Columbia's
west coast. On the whole, however, Canada has four very
distinct seasons, particularly in the more populated
regions along the US border. Daytime summer temperatures
can rise to 35°C and higher, while lows of -25°C
are not uncommon in winter. More moderate temperatures
are the norm in spring and fall.
As a country of immigrants, Canada has both a tradition
and policy of encouraging multicultural diversity.
Almost all of the world's ethnic groups are represented
in Canada. This brings to Canada the most ethnic foods
and recreational activities associated with specific
cultures. Clubs, informal clubs and associations representing
a multitude of ethnic backgrounds are also easily accessible.

Why Study In
Canada
- Canada's universities and colleges are world-renowned
for their high standards, safe campuses, and educational
excellence. They are at the forefront of the information
technology revolution and ensure that their students
are equipped for the 21st century.
- Tuition and living expenses for an American student
at a Canadian school are very affordable. And Americans
are eligible for U.S. government student loans at
most Canadian universities.
- The wide choice of schools in Canada includes major
research institutions as well as small liberal arts
schools and a full range of undergraduate, graduate
and professional degree programs. Most Canadian schools
are within 100 miles of the U.S.-Canada border and
very accessible.
- A degree from a Canadian university is considered
equivalent to an American degree. Many U.S. companies
actively recruit on Canadian campus, and many students
with a Canadian undergraduate degree are enrolled
in top graduate programs throughout the U.S.
Education System
The Canadian education system encompasses both publicly-funded
and private schools, from kindergarten through to university.
Education is a provincial responsibility under the Canadian
constitution, which means there are significant differences
between the education systems of the different provinces.
However, standards across the country are uniformly
high.
