CANADA

Welcome to Canada

Hello, friend! Did you know that the geographical size of a country does not necessarily determine its population size? Yes, and Canada is a good example; it is the world’s second-largest country after Russia. It covers approximately ten million square kilometres. The country stretches from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans and from the continental United States’ northern border in the south to the Arctic Ocean in the far north. However, in terms of population, they are smaller than Nigeria.

Canada Population

Despite its vast landmass, Canada’s population is small in comparison to other large countries. Canada has a population of about 34 million people, the vast majority of whom live in cities. Nigeria, a smaller country in terms of geographical size, has a population of over 200 million people. This explains why Canada has a policy of welcoming a large number of immigrants each year.

Canada is divided into five regions, each of which contains ten provinces and three territories.
