Canadians are generally very open and accepting of other cultures, and expatriates often find the Canadian people to be friendly and helpful. Additionally, expats are often enamored with the incredible natural beauty Canadian is so well known for. Expats also enjoy the many cultural activities available such as art galleries, theatrical performances, sporting events, and festivals. Furthermore, Canada's excellent healthcare and education systems are particularly attractive to expats looking to stay in the country long-term," explained one expat living in Canada.
