Canada is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the world by the UN because of its clean environment, advanced infrastructure and high level of safety. In the 2006 Human Development Index (HDI), a report which ranks the standard of living in countries, Canada ranked 6th, 2 places above the United States and 12 places above the United Kingdom. In the report, you can see that from 1980 to 2005, Canada has ranked first in the index 10 times, more than any other nations. The high Canadian standard of living will help you transition into your everyday life and make it easy for you to concentrate on your studies and your social life. Aside from its high standard of living, Canada is tolerant and safe. On any day in Toronto or Vancouver, you can hear people using more than 100 different languages to communicate and you can see people wearing their traditional clothing. Canada is a diverse country with all types of people, which means Canadians are tolerant of differences. You will see Mosques, Temples, Synagogues, and Churches all over Canada and everybody accepts them as common landmarks. Regardless of your background, you will be welcome in Canada and you will feel comfortable. |
