Every morning is a fresh
beginning. Every day is the world made new. Today is a new day. Today is my
world made new. I have lived all my life up to this moment, to come to this
day. This moment - this day - is as good as any moment in all eternity. I shall
make of this day - each moment of this day - a heaven on earth. This is my day
of opportunity.

Why Canada?
One
of the Best Places in the World to Live
Canada has ranked as one of the top ten places to
live in the world since 1994. It earned particularly high marks for
its access to education, high life expectancy and low crime and
violence rates. Its largest cities -- Vancouver, Toronto and
Montreal -- have been recognized as world class cities in which to
live and work, for their cleanliness and safety and for their
cultural activities and attractive lifestyles.
A First-Rate Education System
Canadians place great importance on learning, and
have developed a first-rate education system with high standards.
The country spends more on education compared to the Organization
for Economic Co-operation and Development average, and is the
second highest among G-8 countries.
High Standard of Living
Canadians enjoys a standard of living among the highest in the
world. Almost 70 per cent of Canadians own their own homes, with a
higher percentage owning durable goods. Canada also has an extensive
universal health care system and social security network.
Welcoming
Environment
Canada has traditionally been a country of immigrants and has a
policy of encouraging multicultural diversity. In this vibrant
setting, different perspectives are respected and learning together
is encouraged. Almost all of the world's ethnic groups are
represented in Canada.
A High Tech Country
The country is an international leader in computer and information
technologies and has a reputation for excellence in such sectors as
telecommunications, transportation and engineering.
Financial Stability
In the midst of the worst financial crisis since the
Great Depression, Canada has joined the ranks of governments that in
recent weeks stepped up to help banks cope with more fallout from
bad U.S. subprime mortgages. Canada's major banks are solid and
solvent. They don't need any help to work through their subprime
exposure.
So, why Canada? Why Not?
