Is Canada truly the best place to live in the world? Well, ask me, and the answer is a resounding: “Yes!” And to support my point, I'd like to point out that it has consistently been rated in the top 10 best countries to live for the past two decades (since 1990) by the United Nations. I'd say, right on! I love living in Canada... it's a scenic paradise! As they say, home is where the heart is, and my home and heart are both definitely right here!
Aside from being a
rich, first world country with an abundance of natural resources,
Canada's
vast
kingdom of natural wonder is a nature lover’s
paradise. I may not be an avid camper, but I certainly appreciate
beautiful nature
scenery and I love spotting wildlife
on our many road trips.
Canada is home to lots of
spectacular wildlife, amongst which
are the famous Canada geese, but also the majestic swans of North America.
I have always been
fascinated by these beautiful, giant water fowl, and to find out that
there are three different types of swans living in this
beautiful country, just adds to
my excitement. It's a
breathtaking view to watch Canada
geese, swans
and other migratory birds on their migration route...
It turns
the
skies into a beautiful
spectacle!
Canada firmly rates in the "top 10 best places to live" by the United Nations since 1990!
While
growing up in warm,
tropical Suriname, I always knew that a day
would come when I
would set out in search of the best place
to live for myself. Back then I didn't know much about Canada, but
I always felt attracted to North America; its
4 seasons,
snow-capped mountains, and scenic landscapes with lots of exciting
wildlife was hugely attractive to me. However, since we all get flooded
by American TV programs and movies I was mostly attracted to the US...
I wasn't familiar with Canada yet.
After getting married, my husband and I moved to the United States, with high hopes that this would be the best place to live for us. We were fairly happy living there with just a work permit. Then we ran into trouble when our green card application was denied. And that’s when we turned our attention for the first time to Canada… While living in the USA, we were too blinded by our desire to become American citizens to even bother to learn anything about this gentle giant of a neighbouring country.

However, once we
discovered Canada's marvellous beauty, including its pristine
nature scenery and its friendly
people, we
felt an instant connection. From the moment we filed
our papers to come to Canada to the moment we
arrived here, we
grew fonder and fonder of this country. Once we finally
reached our
destination, we knew we had found our best place to live in the world.
Through this Web
site it’s my attempt to describe Canada’s spirit
and beauty and why it deserves its reputation of being one of the best
places
to live, if not the best
place to
live!
