Canadians are therefore very supportive of the government's official policy of 'multiculturalism' . New Canadians are encouraged to keep their cultural heritage and to allow it to grow and thrive in their new homeland. It is for this reason that Canada has been called the place where everybody belongs. Canada has a relatively low population. Canada's population is only 30 million, yet the nation is the second largest in the world.
Language is one of the things that makes Canada unique.
Chinese ranks as the second most spoken language in Canada, outside English and French. Primary and secondary education is free. This makes Canada's workforce one of the world's most educated and highly skilled. That's more than the United States, Australia, Germany, Britain and France. The average size of classroom for elementary school is 16 students.
