Canada, means according to historians 'cluster of huts' in the language spoken Amerindian (or native, but never say Eskimo as this is considered a racist statement in Canada) who lived in Canada before the arrival of French in the 16th century. Yes, Canada is truly a young country, it is about 4 centuries old. Of course, the earth existed long before the arrival of French and English, but the modern era has begun in the 16th century.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system, it defines itself as a bilingual and multicultural nation, the French and English are equally official languages of Canada. It is an industrialized and technologically advanced. The prosperous economy is based primarily on its abundant natural resources and trade with its southern neighbor, the United States.

The population density, 3.5 inhabitants per square kilometer, is one of the lowest in the world. The most densely region populated country is the Quebec-Windsor Corridor, along the lowlands of the St. Laurent River and Great Lakes to the southeast. North of this region is the broad Canadian Shield, an area of rock scoured and cleaned by the last ice age, with no fertile land, rich in minerals, and containing lakes and rivers. It includes the boreal forest, vast northern forest composed mainly of spruce and fir. This is one of Canada's many treasures: the timber industry and paper. Canada has more lakes than any other country in the world and has a large reserve of sweet water (production and export of hydro-electricity). It has also abundant natural wealth in metals: gold, bronze ... uranium, but also oil. Moreover it is a highly industrialized country. In short, the country is very sparsely populated compared to the richeness it has, its immigration policy is hence very open.
