It is famous not only for its majestic natural landscapes but also for its cultural diversity and the way of life of its people. The blending of indigenous cultures with European influences has created a unique and colorful Canada.
In particular, Canada is a global powerhouse and developed nation, consistently ranked among the wealthiest countries in the world. It has the eighth highest per capita income globally, the 11th highest Human Development Index, and ranks high in international comparisons of education, government transparency, civil liberties, quality of life, and economic freedom.
