The Top 5 Places To See After Moving To Canada
Alongside Australia, Canada has long been associated with being one of the top destinations for people to immigrate to
. Featuring bustling cities that are popular tourist destinations, massive areas of natural beauty that are perfectly idyllic and enough quaint towns and villages to make you realise just how beautiful the country is, it's no surprise that tens of thousands of people apply for a visa for Canada each year.
If you've applied for your visa, had it granted and are now planning on moving to Canada, once you get settled in the country you'll want to explore and these 5 places should feature high on your list of places to visit as soon as you get the opportunity.
1. Vancouver - after achieving a rating of 98 out of 100 by The Economist in their 2010 World's Most Liveable Cities index, Vancouver ranked in at the top spot, making it one of the first parts of Canada that you should visit.
Located in British Colombia, which dominates the south west of Canada, Vancouver is home to 578,041 people in its city area according to the 2006 census, with 2,116,581 people living in the wider metropolitan area.
2. Toronto - situated in Ontario, Toronto is the largest city in the whole of Canada, housing over 2.5 million people in 243.2 square miles of city alone, without taking into consideration the greater urban and metropolitan vicinities.
With a skyline that is dominated by the CN Tower - the world's tallest freestanding structure up until 2007 - Toronto's history is heavily influenced by its European settlers in the late 18th century, as shown by the fact two of the city's districts are called Scarborough and York, both popular areas of England's North Yorkshire county.
3. Calgary - thanks largely to its huge sports devotion, notably including the Hart Family, one of professional wrestling's most prominent families, Calgary is arguably one of the most popular Canadian cities.
As part of the Alberta province which covers a substantial part of central and southern Canada, Calgary has the third most dense city population in the country, with 3,717.9 people living in each square mile.
4. Edmonton - situated only 200 miles north of Calgary, Edmonton was established in 1795 and is now home to 730,372 Edmontonians.
Having a similar climate to that of the UK, with average summer temperatures reaching just under 23 degrees centigrade (although winters are slightly colder, with averages dropping below freezing from November through to February), Edmonton is a popular destination with people looking to move to the country after getting a visa for Canada.
5. Ottawa - no list of places to see in Canada would be complete without mentioning the country's official capital. Within the province of Ontario, Ottawa is second only in size to Toronto and is home to some fantastic areas of natural beauty, as well as stunning pieces of architecture.
With temperatures having been recorded as low as minus 38.9 degrees centigrade, Ottawa is one of the coldest cities in Canada. It is also the seventh coldest capital city in the world, due to the relatively mild summers that the city sees.
