加拿大英文介绍
加拿大简介
加拿大-全球最适宜居住的国家
据联合国发表的报告，加拿大在就业水平、人均国民生产总值、收入、教育及卫生水平等综合指标在全球160多个国家中名列第一。
优美的自然环境和安全先进的生活方式
加拿大位于北美洲的北半部，总面积997万平方公里，仅次于俄罗斯，是世界第二大国。人口2900多万，是世界上平均人口密度最低的国家之一，每3人占有一平方公里的土地。89%的土地没有永久性居民点。南部与美国为邻约5000公里，石油、矿产、木材、海产、水利资源十分丰富。加拿大四季分明，西面受太平洋季风的影响，四季宜人春季郁金香花争艳，夏季阳光明媚，秋季枫叶层林尽染，冬季万里雪飘，极具风情。
加拿大是由十个省和两个地区组成的联邦国家。民族构成一英裔、法裔、荷兰裔、德裔、波兰裔和华裔。官方语言为英语和法语。
加拿大有26个人口超过10万的市区和3个人口超过100万的城市。其中不少是北美洲最安全、最清洁、风光最美的市中心区。加拿大城市的严重犯罪率不到美国城市的一半。更为人称道的是多个不同种族的人们在一个国际性的环境中和睦相处。政府和工业界致力保持空气和食品的清洁，共同努力维护健康的环境。加拿大的城市都有高素质的歌剧院、乐团和舞蹈团、美术馆、博物馆以及公共图书馆。加拿大城市有国际著名的芭蕾舞团、歌剧团和交响乐团。同时亦经常邀请世界各国最优秀的艺术家到访演出。加拿大政府对艺术的人均补助位于世界前列。加拿大的城市融合了欧洲、亚洲、拉丁美洲和非洲的各种文化。例如，温哥华是众多的亚裔人聚居之地；多伦多融合了欧、亚及其他文化；魁北克则为北美洲添上一份英、法双语的欧洲风味。
加拿大的气候各地不一，往往令预计天气较冷的访客诧异。全国绝大多数人口聚居在离美国边境250公里以内的地区，而加拿大最南部的地区与美国加州北部处于同一纬度。因此，加拿大各大城市的气候多数与美国北部或北欧地区相似。加拿大的城镇提供舒适的生活设施，但是与其他国际性商业中心相比，生活费用确保持在很容易负担的水平上。
名列世界前茅的经济和科技发展水平
加拿大是西方七国之一，工业生产自动化、电气化和现代化水平在世界各国中处于领先地位。农业生产专业化、商品化和现代化的程度也很高，加拿大在电话、微波、卫星、光纤通讯等方面拥有世界先进水平，在航天、微电子工业和生物技术方面亦具有相当水平。加拿大的交通很方便，拥有铁路10万公里、公路73万公里、900 家航空公司和600个大型机场。
理想的投资之地
加拿大是个贸易强国。受过良好教育的劳动力以及合理的生产成本，加上政府在政策的支持，国际人士对加拿大的商业投资环境充满信心。
加拿大在七大工业国中经济增长强劲，通货膨胀率长期低于2%。生活标准指数名列第三位。许多未来的主导行业已经对加拿大经济作出了显著贡献。这些行业包括：通讯设备、激光产品、环保技术、生物技术、制药、航天和电脑软件等高科技工业。
许多国际企业正越来越多地以加拿大作为研究与发展的中心。加拿大是世界最富裕的市场。从1994年1月1日生效的《北美自由贸易协定》让加拿大的企业得到了无可比拟的便利。充裕的原料、廉价的能源、低廉的商业楼宇、先进高效的
基础设施、政府的少干预和为支援中小企业、技术与研究开发计划制定的优惠政策，使加拿大成为世界少有的理想投资地。
完备的教育体系
加拿大提供免费的中小学教育。小学教育注重教育学生以积极参与的态度去学习，入学条件简单，主要以学生居住地、年龄分配就读学校。对新移民子弟，学校也会安排ESL 英语课程。小学课程根据各省教育厅指示编排，学校对学生的学习成绩和学生的生活礼仪一样看重。希望培养出来的学生能均衡发展；加拿大的中学教育一般为5-7年，只需修完30个学分，每学分上课110 小时，就能取得中学毕业证书。低年级课程科目相同，高年级课程有较大弹性，所学科目会有所不同。学校有学生顾问协助学生规划未来。学校还组织各种社团活动，让学生在各方面综合发展。加拿大的高等教育可分为社区学院、大学及研究所，外籍学生及新移民通常要先修语言课，大学课程通常为3-5年。分一般学士及荣誉学士两种。全加拿大有88所大学及200多所社区学院。这些学校的入学资格由学生自定。学生分别向大学申请，没有全国性联考。硕士课程方面，学生入学必须具备相关学科的大学程度。
世人羡慕的社会福利体系
加拿大是高福利国家，费用由联邦政府承担。尽管各省的具体规定不同，但社会福利基本一致。包括：
家庭津贴：凡有18岁以下儿童之父母均可享受。具体金额视家庭收入高低而定；日托津贴：若小孩父母均工作，又不能付日托全费，可申请日托津贴；
失业保险：多数在加拿大工作的人都受失业保险保障。失业可领取失业保险金。养老金：65岁以上，在加拿大居住满10年，可领取全额养老金；
退休金：在工作期间供纳退休金税的人士，可申请退休金；
医疗保险：加拿大实施全民保健计划，居民享受免费医疗服务；
加拿大护照通行全球
加拿大对全世界所有够条件的人打开大门，每年接受移民及难民超过20万，其中独立技术移民约占8 万人左右，大部分来自亚洲。华人移民加拿大已经有100多年的历史，目前华人占全国人口5％，华人投资包括银行、房地产、酒店、百货商场、电子通讯、电子计算机等，华人就业机会甚佳，从事高级白领工作的人越来越多，华语成为英语、法语之后的第三大语言，华人的地位也越来越高。多元文化
加拿大实行多元文化、多民族和平共处，不象澳洲那样反对从亚洲移民且有较多的种族歧视。在多伦多、温哥华等大城市，华人数量已超过50万人。
较多的个人发展机会
移民加拿大后，四年时间中在加拿大居住满三年，可申请入籍成为加拿大公民。持加拿大护照可免签证自由往来美国、澳大利亚、新西兰、英国、德国、意大利、比利时、荷兰、奥地利、西班牙、葡萄牙、丹麦、瑞典、芬兰、挪威、希腊、以色列、沙特、香港、澳门、日本、台湾、新加坡、马来西亚、巴西、委内瑞拉等一百多个国家和地区。移民加拿大后，若想转入美国发展，也十分容易。
Canada
Canada, independent nation (2001 pop. 30,007,094), 3,851,787 sq mi
(9,976,128 sq km), N North America. Canada occupies all of North America N
of the United States (and E of Alaska) except for Greenland and the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. It is bounded on the E by the Atlantic Ocean, on the N by the Arctic Ocean, and on the W by the Pacific Ocean and Alaska.
A transcontinental border, formed in part by the Great Lakes, divides Canada from the United States; Nares and Davis straits separate Canada from Greenland. The Arctic Archipelago extends far into the Arctic Ocean.
Canada is a federation of 10 provinces—Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia—and three territories—Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon Territory. Canada's capital is Ottawa and its largest city is Toronto. Other important cities include Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Quebec.
Land
Canada has a very long and irregular coastline; Hudson Bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence indent the east coast and the Inside Passage extends along the west coast. The ice-clogged straits between the islands of N Canada form the Northwest Passage. During the Ice Age all of Canada was covered by a continental ice sheet that scoured and depressed the land surface, leaving a covering of glacial drift, depositional landforms, and innumerable lakes and rivers. Aside from the Great Lakes, which are only partly in the country, the largest lakes of North America—Great Bear, Great Slave, and Winnipeg—are entirely in Canada. The St. Lawrence is the chief river of E Canada. The Saskatchewan, Nelson, Churchill, and Mackenzie river systems drain central Canada, and the Columbia, Fraser, and Yukon rivers drain the western part of the country.
Canada has a bowl-shaped geologic structure rimmed by highlands, with Hudson Bay at the lowest point. The country has eight major physiographic regions—the Canadian Shield, the Hudson Bay Lowlands, the Western Cordillera, the Interior Lowlands, the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Lowlands, the Appalachians, the Arctic Lowlands, and the Innuitians.
The exposed portions of the Canadian Shield cover more than half of Canada. This once-mountainous region, which contains the continent's oldest rocks, has been worn low by erosion over the millennia. Its upturned eastern edge is indented by fjords. The Shield is rich in minerals, especially iron and nickel, and in potential sources of hydroelectric power. In the center of the Shield are the Hudson Bay Lowlands, encompassing Hudson Bay and the surrounding marshy land.
The Western Cordillera, a geologically young mountain system parallel to the Pacific coast, is composed of a series of north-south tending ranges and
valleys that form the highest and most rugged section of the country; Mt. Logan (19,551 ft/5,959 m) is the highest point in Canada. Part of this region is made up of the Rocky Mts. and the Coast Mts., which are separated by plateaus and basins. The islands off W Canada are partially submerged portions of the Coast Mts. The Western Cordillera is also rich in minerals and timber and potential sources of hydroelectric power.
Between the Rocky Mts. and the Canadian Shield are the Interior Lowlands, a vast region filled with sediment from the flanking higher lands. The Lowlands are divided into the prairies, the plains, and the Mackenzie Lowlands. The prairies are Canada's granary, while grazing is important on the plains.
The smallest and southernmost region is the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Lowlands, Canada's heartland. Dominated by the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes, the region provides a natural corridor into central Canada, and the St. Lawrence Seaway gives the interior cities access to the Atlantic. This section, which is composed of gently rolling surface on sedimentary rocks, is the location of extensive farmlands, large industrial centers, and most of Canada's population. In SE Canada and on Newfoundland is the northern end of the Appalachian Mt. system, an old and geologically complex region with a generally low and rounded relief.
The Arctic Lowlands and the Innuitians are the most isolated areas of Canada and are barren and snow-covered for most of the year. The Arctic Lowlands comprise much of the Arctic Archipelago and contain sedimentary rocks that may have oil-bearing strata. In the extreme north, mainly on Ellesmere Island, is the Innuitian Mt. system, which rises to c.10,000 ft (3,050 m).
Canada's climate is influenced by latitude and topography. The Interior Lowlands make it possible for polar air masses to move south and for subtropical air masses to move north into Canada. Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes act to modify the climate locally. The Western Cordillera serves as a climatic barrier that prevents polar air masses from reaching the Pacific coast and blocks the moist Pacific winds from reaching into the interior. The Cordillera has a typical highland climate that varies with altitude; the western slopes receive abundant rainfall, and the whole region is forested. The Interior Lowlands are in the rain shadow of the Cordillera; the southern portion has a steppe climate in which grasses predominate. S Canada has a temperate climate, with snow in the winter (especially in the east) and cool summers. Farther to the north, extending to the timberline, is the humid subarctic climate characterized by short summers and a snow cover for about half the year. The huge boreal forest, the largest surviving remnant of the extensive forests that once covered much of North America, predominates in this region. On the Arctic Archipelago and the northern mainland is the tundra, with its mosses
and lichen, permafrost, near-year-round snow cover, and ice fields. A noted phenomenon off the coast of E Canada is the persistence of dense fog, which is formed when the warm air over the Gulf Stream passes over the cold Labrador Current as the two currents meet off Newfoundland.
People
About 40% of the Canadian population are of British descent, while 27% are of French origin. Another 20% are of other European background, about 10% are of E or SE Asian origin, and some 3% are of aboriginal or Métis (mixed aboriginal and European) background. In the late 1990s, Canada had the highest immigration rate of any country in the world, with more than half the total coming from Asia. Over 75% of the total population live in cities. Canada has complete religious liberty, though its growing multiculturalism has at times caused tensions among ethnic and religious groups. About 45% of the people are Roman Catholics, while some 40% are Protestant (the largest groups being the United Church of Canada, Anglicans, and Presbyterians). English and French are the official languages, and federal documents are published in both languages. In 1991, about 61% of Canadians cited English as their mother tongue, while 24% cited French.
Economy
Since World War II the development of Canada's manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has led to the creation of an affluent society. Services now account for 66% of the GDP, while industry accounts for 31%. Tourism and financial services represent some of Canada's most important industries within the service sector. However, manufacturing is Canada's single most important economic activity. The leading products are transportation equipment, pulp and paper, processed foods, chemicals, primary and fabricated metals, petroleum, electrical and electronic products, wood products, printed materials, machinery, clothing, and nonmetallic minerals. Industries are centered in Ontario, Quebec, and, to a lesser extent, British Columbia and Alberta. Canada's industries depend on the country's rich energy resources, which include hydroelectric power, petroleum, natural gas, coal, and uranium. Canada is a leading mineral producer, although much of its mineral resources are difficult to reach due to permafrost. It is the world's largest source of nickel, zinc, and uranium, and a major source of lead, asbestos, gypsum, potash, tantalum, and cobalt. Other important mineral resources are petroleum, natural gas, copper, gold, iron ore, coal, silver, diamonds, molybdenum, and sulfur. The mineral wealth is located in many areas; some of the most productive regions are Sudbury, Ont. (copper and nickel); Timmins, Ont. (lead, zinc, and
silver); and Kimberley, British Columbia (lead, zinc, and silver). Petroleum and natural gas are found in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Agriculture employs about 3% of the population and contributes a similar percentage of the GDP. The sources of the greatest farm income are livestock and dairy products. Among the biggest income-earning crops are wheat, oats, barley, corn, and canola. Canada is one of the world's leading agricultural exporters, especially of wheat. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta are the great grain-growing provinces, and, with Ontario, are also the leading sources of beef cattle. The main fruit-growing regions are found in Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. Apples and peaches are the principal fruits grown in Canada. More than half of the total land area is forest, and Canadian timber production ranks among the highest in the world.
加拿大介绍Canada Introduction
Canada Introduction Canada has a population just less than 30 million people in a country twice the area of the United States. The heritage of Canada was French and English; however, significant immigration from Asia and Europe's non-French and English countries has broadened Canada's cultural richness. This cultural diversity is considered a national asset, and the Constitution Act prohibits discrimination against individual citizens on the basis of race, color, religion, or sex. The great majority of Canadians are Christian. Although the predominant language in Canada is English, there are at least three varieties of French that are recognized: Quebecois in Quebec, Franco-Manitoban throughout Manitoba and particularly in the St. Boniface area of Winnipeg, and Acadian. The Italian language is a strong third due to a great influx of Italian immigrants following W.W.II. Canada's three major cities are distinctively, even fiercely different from one another even though each is a commercially thriving metropolitan center. Montreal, established in the 17th century and the largest French city outside France, has a strong influence of French architecture and culture. It is a financial and manufacturing center

The national flag. The Maple Leaf The Canadian red and white maple leaf flag is officially called The National Flag of Canada. The Canadian flag shows a stylized red maple leaf with 11 points on a white background, with red borders down each side. The Canadian flag is twice as long as it is wide. The white square containing the red maple leaf is the same width as the flag. The red and white used in the National Flag of Canada were proclaimed the official colors of Canada in 1921 by King George V. Although the maple leaf did not have official status as an emblem of Canada until the proclamation of the national flag in 1965, it had historically been used as a Canadian symbol, and was used in 1860 in decorations for the visit of the Prince of Wales to Canada. The 11 points on the maple leaf have no special significance.

加拿大英文介绍
Canada Canada is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area. Canada's common border with the United States to the south and northwest is the longest in the world. Canada occupies a major northern portion of North America, sharing the land borders with the contiguous United States to the south and the U.S. state of Alaska to the northwest, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west; to the north lies the Arctic Ocean. By total area (including its waters), Canada is the second-largest country in the world, after Russia. By land area, Canada ranks fourth.
加拿大简介
General information: Canada is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada is the world's second-largest country by total area, and its common border with the United States is the longest land border in the world. It is a bilingual nation with both English and French as official languages. The national flag of Canada,also known as the Maple Leaf,is a red flag with a white square in its centre, featuring a stylized 11-pointed red maple leaf. History: Indeed, Canada is so beautifully diverse that it makes it that little bit easier to comprehend why so many people fought for possession of it. During the 17th century, the Anglo-French war over Canada ended with the capitulation of the French Canadian capital, Québec, to the besieging forces of the English General Wolfe. The Americans made a number of efforts to seize control of Britain’s Canadian territories after British defeat in the American War of Independence, but failed, and the two countries thereafter evolved along different historical paths. In 1791, Canada was divided between regions occupied by the English-speaking and the longer-established French-speaking community, but the arrangement did not work and was replaced by a unified system. Climate: Winters can be harsh in many regions of the country, particularly in the interior and Prairie provinces, which experience a continental climate. In noncoastal regions, snow can cover the ground almost six months of the year (more in the north). Coastal British Columbia enjoys a temperate climate, with a mild and rainy winter. Cities: Canada is a federation of 10 provinces—Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia—and three territories—Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and the Yukon Territory. Canada's capital is Ottawa and its largest city is Toronto. Other important cities include Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Quebec. Ottawa, Canada's Capital, sits on the border between the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in central Canada. It's the fourth-largest urban area in Canada. Toronto is the largest city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. As Canada's economic capital, Toronto is considered an alpha world city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) study group and is one of the top financial centres in the world.

加拿大文化英文介绍
Canada If one has to use two words to describe Canada, they might be “large” and “diverse”. With a total land area of 9,976,140 square kilometers, Canada is the second largest country in the world, just behind Russia. A nation “from sea to sea”, it is bordered by three oceans: the Pacific to the west, the Arctic to the north, and the Atlantic to the east! To the south, it is bordered by the United States, and together the two share the longest undefended border in the world. Across the country, the landscape changes variously from rolling plains and mountains to the cold tundra of the north. Geographically, Canada can be divided into five major regions: the Pacific Region, the Prairie Provinces, Central Canada, the Atlantic Province and the North. As for the history, a book named A Short History of Canada said that “Canadians believe that their history is short, boring, and irrelevant. They are wrong on all counts. The choices Canadians can make today have been shaped by history……In each generation, Canadians have had to learn how to live with each other in this big, rich land. It has never been easy. For those who ignore history, it is doubly difficult.”Compared to some other countries, Canada is young. But to include an account of the history of this young nation in just a few pages is a daunting task. Listed here are some major events happened in Canadian history. Hopefully they will shed some light on understanding Canada as a nation and Canadians as a people. Archaeologists believe the earliest inhabitants of Canada come from Asia by way of the Bering Strait more than 10,000 years ago. The native peoples lived in harmony with nature before the Europeans arrived. With the development of trading, the Europeans settled there and in the 1860s, as the colonies expanded and trade increased, a possible union of all the British North American colonies was discussed. The idea of Confederation, a union of the colonies under a central government, was propose at a conference at Charlottetown. On July 1,1867, the four colonies of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Canadian were united under the British North America Act as the Dominion of Canada. Today, July1 is celebrated as Canada’s National Day. Later they built the transcontinental railway. The completion of the railway was a very important event in Canadian history. It eventually brought almost a million settlers, including those from Britain, the United States and Europe. As Canada gradually gained economic power, the World War I broke out in 1914. Canada played an important role in it to provide the western Allies with wartime supplies. Canada also suffered greatly in the Great Depression and it was the efforts undertaken to aid the allies in World War II that helped save Canada from the Depression. World War II had a profound impact on Canadian history that it helped Canada to fully recover from the Depression and the increasing the process of industrialization. In addition, the war had facilitated Canada in developing complete armed services of army, air force and navy. In general, in the 20 years after 1950, Canada experienced continuous economic growth and prosperity.
