According to the Council of Canadian Educators, "Canada's high academic standards and rigorous quality controls mean that you'll be earning a high-quality education that will open doors for your future and benefit your career over the long term.

Canada is the second largest country in the world. It has beautiful ocean front views, glorious fresh water lakes and rivers, mountains and plains.

6. Strong Economy

According to Chris Ridell writing for the National Post, the reasons for Canada being ranked at the top of the G-7 nations is: "The World Bank labelled Canada the best place in the G7 nations to start a business, and thanks to an open immigration policy it's comparatively easy to enter the country. Add a strong banking system, growing job market, and high standard of living, and it's no wonder."

7. Respect for Human Rights

Canada prides itself on a legal and political system that promotes and provides a healthy respect for human rights founded on the principle that we are all equal.
