Canada

Canada is one of the world’s largest countries, surpassed in terms of the total area by Russia. It is a federal multiparty parliamentary state with two legislative houses with the head of state being Queen Elizabeth II, represented by a Governor-General. Canada is also one of the most sparsely populated countries, with the density as of 2018 being 10.8 people per square mile. Its impressive total area of 3,855,103 square miles consists of a large variety of geographical features. These include majestic mountains such as the Cordillera, the Appalachians, and the Innuitian Mountains; cold yet beautiful tundras and regal boreal forests; high rivers such as the St. Lawrence River; icy wastelands where the country touches the Arctic Sea; lowlands and prairies which are often claimed as settlements and used in agriculture, respectively; and 151,019 miles of coastline as well as over 2,000,000 lakes. The capital of the country is Ottawa.

Canada is ranked at 15th position in the world education ranking system. There are several reasons for the country’s high position and preference when it comes to higher education. This includes the impressive range of universities available including renowned ones such as the University of Toronto, which has produced some of the world’s finest contributors in fields such as Physics and Medicine. Examples of such contributors include Frederick Banting, John James Richard Macleod, Arthur Leonard Schawlow and others. Canada also offers an equally impressive range of subjects including the already-mentioned Physics and Medicine, as well as popular ones such as Arts, Business, Education, Management, Administration, Computer Science, and Engineering. There is also the opportunity to practice both English and French as these are the country’s two official languages. Apart from the previously-mentioned advantages, Canada also offers high chances of finding a suitable long-term job after graduation both via internships as well as regular recruitment methods. This is due to the country favoring individuals who have a higher education especially in fields related to Engineering, and Science. However, one should carefully consider certain factors which can become setbacks if not accounted for. To begin with, the educational system of each university often differs in one or more aspects from the others on the list. Due to this, proper research must be done about each chosen institution before enrolling. Also, another factor worth considering is that tuition fees can be on the costly side.
