Getting There

Canada is the second largest country in North America by area. The country’s nickname has to do with its location in the north of the continent.

You could reach its southern provinces quite easily. But planes and boats are often the only ways to visit Yukon, Nunavut, and Northwest Territories.

Ottawa is the capital of the country. Yet, it is outside of the top 3 largest cities by population. Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are all ahead of Ottawa.

These cities have more direct international flights than the capital. You could also fly into Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Halifax, and Victoria.
