A slideshow of the 10 largest metropolitan areas in Canada. Canada is a North American country consisting of ten provinces and three territories. Located in the northern part of the continent, it extends from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area. Canada's common border with the United States to the south and northwest is the longest in the world. Canada is a federal state that is governed as a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy with Queen Elizabeth II as its head of state. It is a bilingual nation with both English and French as official languages at the federal level. One of the world's most highly developed countries, Canada has a diversified economy that is reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade -- particularly with the United States, with which Canada has had a long and complex relationship. It is a member of the G7, G8, G20, NATO, OECD, WTO, Commonwealth of Nations, Francophonie, OAS, APEC, and UN. With the eighth-highest Human Development Index globally, it has one of the highest standards of living in the world. Canada occupies a major northern portion of North America, sharing the land borders with the contiguous United States to the south and the US state of Alaska to the northwest, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west; to the north lies the Arctic Ocean. Canada is the second-largest country in the world, after Russia. The population density, 3.3 inhabitants per square kilometre (8.5 /sq mi), is among the lowest in the world. The most densely populated part of the country is the Quebec City -- Windsor Corridor, situated in Southern Quebec and Southern Ontario along the Great Lakes and the Saint Lawrence River. Average winter and summer high temperatures across Canada vary according to the location. Winters can be harsh in many regions of the country, particularly in the interior and Prairie provinces, which experience a continental climate, where daily average temperatures are near −15 °C (5 °F) but can drop below −40 °C (−40 °F) with severe wind chills. In noncoastal regions, snow can cover the ground almost six months of the year (more in the north). Coastal British Columbia has a temperate climate, with a mild and rainy winter. On the east and west coasts, average high temperatures are generally in the low 20s °C (70s °F), while between the coasts, the average summer high temperature ranges from 25 to 33 °C (77 to 89 °F), with occasional extreme heat in some interior locations well exceeding 40 °C (105 °F). Canada has a total population of 34,682,937, an increase of 5.9 percent since 2001. Population in Canada increased from 1990 to 2008 with 5.8 million and 20.9% growth in population compared to 21.7% growth in the USA and 31.2% growth in Mexico. According to the OECD/World Bank population statistics between 1990--2008 the world population growth was 27 % and 1,423 million persons. Population growth is from immigration and, to a lesser extent, natural growth. About four-fifths of Canada's population lives within 150 kilometres (93 mi) of the United States border. Canada has one of the highest per-capita immigration rates in the world, driven by economic policy and family reunification, and is aiming for between 240,000 and 265,000 new permanent residents in 2011, the same number of immigrants as in recent years. New immigrants settle mostly in major urban areas like Toronto and Vancouver. Canada also accepts large numbers of refugees. The country resettles over one in 10 of the world's refugees. Canadian provinces and territories are responsible for education. Each system is similar, while reflecting regional history, culture and geography. The mandatory school age ranges between 5--7 to 16--18 years, contributing to an adult literacy rate of 99 percent. In 2002, 43 percent of Canadians aged 25 to 64 possessed a post-secondary education; for those aged 25 to 34, the rate of post-secondary education reached 51 percent. Canada's two official languages are English and French. Official bilingualism is defined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Official Languages Act, and Official Language Regulations; it is applied by the Commissioner of Official Languages. English and French have equal status in federal courts, Parliament, and in all federal institutions. Citizens have the right, where there is sufficient demand, to receive federal government services in either English or French, and official-language minorities are guaranteed their own schools in all provinces and territories. http://www.canada.ca/ http://caen.canada.travel/ http://www.toronto.ca/

This is all wrong
Toronto Does not have 5 million people. Thats for the whole GTA, Toronto and all the cities around. Toronto is now at 2.5 million...that's a high guess ,...thank god.
Which probably means all the other numbers are also probably wrong. I don't think Winnipeg is over a million yet. -
beautiful city

nice

I would have bet anything that Vancouver had a bigger population than my hometown of Montreal. This video was amazing nevertheless. Inspiring views and interesting demographics. I wasn't surprized to see Toronto #1 in the list... In this list, I've seen Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa, Hamilton, Mississauga, Toronto and Calgary.
Toronto is simply gigantic TITAN city... arriving to the city and seeing the skyscrappers is sublime, so is looking across the lake to try to spot Ste-Catarines and the legendary Niagara Falls.
Mississauga and Hamilton are surrounding cities of Toronto... so of course they're huge! I even predict massive development in the Kitchener/Waterloo area near Toronto!
Ottawa is near Montreal, 2 hour drive. Capital city of Canada, has it's charms!
Montreal is an island (same concept as Manhattan) and it isn't what it used to be in my opinion, but yet a nice city for tourism, the Old Port of Montreal, the Mount Royal allowing you to see the entire city from high grounds.
Quebec city... beautiful city with the Château Frontenac on top of the hill of the Old part of Quebec city. Near the plains of Abraham where the French and the English fought the 7 years war for the conquest of land... Very historic, a must see!
And Calgary... went there on a business trip... but seeing the Canadian Rockies from the western part of the city sort of... hypnotizes you and creates that feeling of adventures. About 1h30 away from the city, the Canadian Rockies are simply AWESOME and mind boggling... endless titanic mountains one after the other... the little town of Banff... what a CHARM! and further down the road, Lake Louise... BEAUTIFUL!!!
CANADA IS BIGGER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN WE THINK!

11:40 PM 9/25/2016 Whats Calgary like? I would actually move to Calgary if I got sick and tired of Vancouver. The only reason why I wouldn't move up north to Canada is because of the winter time with snow. I can put up with the cold but snow is a pain and depressing at times to look at I know. Ive never been to Canada but I have a feeling its no different compared to living in Midwest in USA not including govt./politics and religion.
