Canada is the world‘s second largest country by total area, occupying most of northern America. Despite this, 90% of Canadians live within 200 kilometres of the United States border. A land of vast distances, wild expanses, rich natural resources and a distinct fusion of cultures, Canada has developed in parallel with the US making it a remarkable and safe travel destination. |
