When asked to describe Canadians, visitors often use the word welcoming, and find their hosts polite and friendly. The country's ethnic diversity supports a society that values social equality, and most Canadians pride themselves on being open-minded about different lifestyles and beliefs. A bilingual nation, Canada's long history of immigration and economic diversification encourages open honest communication, and international students will find it easy to make Canadian friends. Despite the country's vast size, there is a genuine sense of community that exists from coast-to-coast. To learn more about Canada's diversity and culture please visit Canada's cultural gateway at:
