Located in north of the North American continent, the country of Canada is bordered by the USA in its south and Alaska at its west. With French as the most commonly spoken language, Canada has been known for its extreme cold winters, the Niagara Falls and the most recent events of the refugee acceptance, reminding the world of the friendly and accommodating nature of the Canadians. The country has held its firm belief in the fact that ‘all citizens are equal and that diversity makes us a stronger country’. The multicultural availability in the country therefore is proof that it makes all feel the equality and therefore everyone is at home and about 20% of the Canadians were born outside (Government of Canada website).

However, this is a place to learn more and it is the second largest country in the world after Russia by land area and is covered with a lot of lakes. Although the name means village, it was previously named as New France. Along with the typical symbol of the maple leaf of Canada, it has also been the home ground for the birth of diverse fields such as IMAX, Basketball, the pacemaker and even the Blackberry phone.
