Canada is part of the British Commonwealth, whose head of state is the British Queen. The Queen's official representative in Canada is the Governor General, who is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister. In addition, Canada is a parliamentary federal system with a democratic tradition dating back to the English democracy of the 16th century. Legislative power is represented by the Parliament, which includes the Queen, and in her absence, the Governor General of Canada, the Senate and the House of Commons.
Climate. Due to the large size of the country, several climatic regions can be distinguished, from mild-temperate on the Pacific coast to cold in the north. Most of Canada has a continental climate with distinct seasons.
Number. Canada ranks 37th in terms of population. The population at the end of 2022, taking into account the growth rate, will be approximately 38,756,402 people. The main population growth is due to immigration, which makes a significant contribution to the country's economy.
Language. Two languages are considered official and recognized by the Constitution: French and English. Both languages have the same status in all federal institutions, courts, Parliament. Today, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) has a great chance of becoming the third official language in Canada. Also, many in the country speak Tagalog, Spanish, Arabic, Italian and German.
Canada is in the top 10 countries that are very friendly to foreigners, and all because, according to statistics, it is the number 1 country in terms of quality of life. Two opposites easily exist here: the British-English stiffness and the charm inherent in the true French.
The country offers free and quality healthcare to all residents, and because of this, the average life expectancy for Canadians is 81 years for men and 85 years for women. At the highest level is education, which is valued all over the world, a high level of salaries and child benefits. And of course, nature. Despite the fact that most of the population lives in large cities, most of the country is virtually untouched. Canada abounds with glacial valleys and snow-capped mountains, lakes and unique waterfalls, hot springs and beaches, botanical gardens, and even flower conservatories.
