About Canada

Canada is a country in North America, the second-largest in the world by total area at 9,984,670 km², stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Its southern border with the United States is the longest binational land border in the world. The capital is Ottawa, Ontario, and the largest city is Toronto, followed by Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton.

Canada is a federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy, with King Charles III as head of state. English and French are the official languages, reflecting the country's dual colonial heritage, and the nation is celebrated for its multicultural character and commitment to inclusivity. The Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the prairies of the interior, the boreal forests, and the Arctic tundra give the country one of the most varied and dramatic landscapes on earth — a terrain that has shaped the character of its communities as profoundly as any government or economy. Ice hockey runs through the national identity like a river through granite, while literature, music, film and the visual arts thrive with a quiet confidence that has produced voices — Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell — known the world over. From the fog-draped shores of Newfoundland to the sunlit vineyards of the Okanagan, from the French-speaking cities of Quebec to the remote Inuit settlements of Nunavut, Canada rewards exploration at every scale.
