Hello travelers! Are you someone who is hoping to travel to Canada? As soon as Canada is mentioned, we all think of a very developed country. Most people think of Niagara Falls when they think of Canada. Such things are known to everyone. But there are many things that you don’t know about the beautiful country called Canada. Here are the most unknown 5 things that you don’t know about Canada.
The longest border
Many people know that Canada is the second largest country in the world. Also, Canada borders the United States of America. So, the border between America in the south and Canada in the north is reported as the longest international border in the world. To be precise, the length of this border is 8,891 km. There are two parts to this border. As mentioned earlier, America is in the south, and in the west, the state of Alaska, which is an American state, is separated by the two boundaries. The International Boundary Commission deals with other issues related to this boundary. Also, since the distance of this limit is very high, sensors have even been hidden in some places to prevent violation of the limits.
Santa Claus is a Canadian
Christmas is one of the most special moments of Christianity. Therefore, when we think of Christmas, Santa Claus comes to our mind. So, we know the character of Santa Claus or Saint Nicholas as someone who brings gifts to children for Christmas. Since ancient times, small children used to write letters to Santa Claus. There were many cases where the post office officials would reply to the letters that the children put in the mailboxes in each of those countries. But in Canada, Santa has been given a special address. That means Santa’s official address is in Canada. Santa Claus, North pole, H0H 0H0 Canada is the address. Anyone of any age in any country can send letters to Santa Claus through this address and also get a reply letter.
Island without snakes
Newfoundland is an island belonging to Canada. Therefore, no snakes had been reported on this island, which is extremely cold for most of the year. The reason for that is the inability of snakes to reach this island. Because it has happened because of the obstacles that snakes have to travel in salty sea water or on ice. But today it is reported that there are snakes there. That is because they were brought to the island without permission. In addition to that, the island with the most snake attraction in the world is also Canada.
20% are foreigners
Canada is recognized as a multicultural country. In 2011, there were about 6,775,800 people born abroad in Canada’s population. It was 20.6% of the total population. From 2006 to 2011, 1,162,900 foreigners immigrated to Canada. In that way, most people immigrated to Canada from Asia.
Even if you look there, “Smith”, if you look here, “Smith”.
In Canada, one in every 192 people has the name, Smith. Also, this name is the most popular in 7 states of Canada as well as the most popular name in Canada.
