https://i.infopls.com/images/mapcanada.gif

Canada is in North America and has 10 provinces and three territories that stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific, as well as northward into the Arctic Ocean. Totaling about 9.98 million square kilometers, it is the world's second-largest country in terms of total area. The population of Canada is estimated to be 38 million people. Around 80% of the population live in cities and towns. Since the country is mainly land, Canada has one of the lowest population density ratios in the world. This equates to fewer than 4 people per square kilometer. Canada is a varied and cosmopolitan country. There are 250 ethnic origins or ancestries represented among Canadians. There are 20 million Europeans in Canada, 2 million Indigenous people, and a vast number of people who claim Chinese, East Indian, Southeast Asian, and other ancestries. First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples make up Canada's Indigenous population. Many different religions are practiced in Canada, while other people profess no religious allegiance. Catholics, Protestants, Christian Orthodox, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus are a few examples of religions practiced. You can find many different buildings of worship for each.
