The migration of the people from different countries is the result for the origin of the Aboriginal people in the country. Tourists visiting the place are often mesmerized by the hospitality with which they are welcomed.

With a total population of 33 lacs, Canada is home to people from multiple origins. British, American, African, Indian, American people from many ethnic groups can be found here. The people of this country are polite, tolerant and respect the traditional beliefs of each person. Their language mainly constitutes English and French, but other than these two languages, Punjabi, Spanish, Italian and Arabic are also spoken by a significant part of the population. Another important reason why a large number of people reside here is due to the reason that it has the lowest number of crime rates in comparison to any other country.
