Canada is one of the largest countries in the world, stretching between the Arctic Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. With a total area of 9,970,610 square kilometers, it is 280 times larger than the Netherlands. The extreme distance from east to west is 5,500 km, and from north to south, it's 4,600 km. Canada is a country with vast natural beauty, featuring mountains (Rocky Mountains), lakes, rivers, prairies, and forests. It consists of 10 provinces and 3 territories. As a member of the British Commonwealth, Canada remains under the sovereignty of the British monarch, although it is practically independent. The provincial government assists the federal government in Canada and is primarily responsible for matters directly affecting residents, such as personal and corporate income taxes, provincial sales taxes, and land transfer taxes.

The majority of the 37.5 million inhabitants live near the southern border, where Canada’s major cities like Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, and Ottawa (the capital) are located. Around 70% of the population resides in urban centers. Canada's population is a mixture of various nationalities, resulting from the influx of many immigrants. About 50% of the Canadian population has Western European origins. The original inhabitants of Canada are Indigenous peoples, including First Nations, Inuit, and Métis.
