People

Canada is a multicultural nation that encourages immigration. When the British and French first settled in Canada, the country was inhabited by aboriginal groups. Through immigration, many other nationalities are represented in the fabric of contemporary Canadian Society.

Economy

A member of the G7 group of industrial countries, Canada has an extensive market-oriented economic system. Good fiscal management has generated a secure long-term national budget. Canada’s involvement in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has promoted trade and economic integration with its neighbors. The expansion of the manufacturing, mining, and service sectors, NAFTA has made Canada a successful trading nation.

Political life

Canada's political system is a parliamentary democracy. Canada's constitution united different political communities and formed local or regional governments to serve the particular needs of each region. Canada has two official languages: English and French and two legal systems derived from English common law and French civil law. Canada's chief political challenge is to meet public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services.

Health Care

Canada has a predominantly publicly financed health care system called Medicare. With a Canada Immigration Visa comes free healthcare such as examination and treatment by family doctors, various kinds of surgery, treatment by specialists, hospital care, X-rays, laboratory tests and immunizations. One of the most important things to do as soon as you arrive in Canada is to apply for a health insurance card. Visit http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ for more information about obtaining a Medicare card.

Work and Social Insurance

In Canada, about 20 percent of jobs are regulated by the government to protect public health and safety. With all Canadian Immigration Visas comes a Social Insurance Number (SIN) allowing you to work legally in Canada. SIN is a nine-digit number that you will need in order to obtain employment and receive government benefits. Visit www.sdc.gc.ca for more information about social insurance in Canada.

Climate, Geography and Transportation

The Canadian climate is temperate in the south and west and arctic in north. Canada’s terrain consists mostly of plains with mountains in west and lowlands in southeast. Being one of the world’s largest countries, Canada has developed a highly sophisticated transportation system. Roads and railway tracks connect most major cities and a public transportation infrastructure such as subways, buses or commuter rail lines exists in every major city.
