 When it comes to the sheer quality of education, Canada undoubtedly figures among the top in the world. The country pays remarkable importance to the standard of education it offers. Canada spends more on education (as a percentage of GDP) compared to the OECD average, and is the second highest among G-8 countries. It is then hardly surprising that Canadian students invariably come out with flying colors. A Canadian degree, diploma or certificate is well regarded in business, government and academic circles around the globe.
Canada is most definitely one of the finest places, and offers a conducive environment for a good living. For nine consecutive years (1994-2002), a United Nations survey found Canada to be among the top three places in the world to live. Canada earned particularly high marks for its access to education, high life expectancy (due to universal health care system); and low crime and violence rates.
Canada has traditionally been a country of immigrants and has a policy of encouraging multicultural diversity. In this vibrant setting, different perspectives are respected and learning together is encouraged.
The tantalizing natural beauty of Canada has also been one of the reasons for enticing people from all over the world. Students who come to Canada lose themselves in one of the most exhilarating natural environments on earth. Canada is also a country of diverse geography, and there is much to experience in its great outdoors. From the lush coastline of British Columbia, the majestic Rocky Mountains of Alberta, the big skies of the prairies, to the 'maple sugar country' in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence and the rugged hills and picturesque coastline of the Atlantic provinces.
