|
Canada is a nation that values and
respects the contributions and individuality of many different cultures
Every year, Canada welcomes thousands of new residents. Coming to
Canada as an immigrant is an exciting opportunity. Canada is one of
the world's wealthiest nations with a high per capita income ( about
1166 trillion dollar ). Canada is a free market economy with slightly
more government intervention than the United States, but many less than
most European nations. Since the early 1990's, the Canadian economy has
been growing rapidly with low unemployment and large government
surpluses on the federal level. Today Canada closely resembles the US in
its market-oriented economic system, pattern of production, and high
living standards. Canada’s 2006 population was about 30 million, most of
them are immigrants. Canada's two official languages are English and
French. |
