Divided into ten provinces and three territories, Canada is a country of magnificent sights, cosmopolitan cities, and laidback lifestyles. Canada's diverse landscapes range from Arctic tundra in the north, to the Rocky Mountains of the west, to the Great Lakes and Niagara Falls of southeastern Canada. The outdoor enthusiast will have plenty of space to roam in Canada as well—it is the second largest country by mass in the world with rich natural resources and lots of peaceful seclusion if that’s what you’re looking for. Canada is also home to great cities and tourist destinations such as Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Quebec, and Prince Edward Island, to name just a few. The country has two official languages, English and French, which vary from city to city. Canadians are proud of their country and always happy to welcome visitors from other countries, making it easy and fun to take English courses in Canada.
