Home to two official languages, English and French, Canada is also a multicultural society, with more than 17% of the population reporting a mother tongue other than English or French. During the 1990s, Canada received between 200,000 and 250,000 immigrants per year. For the past four years, the United Nations has rated Canada the top country in the world for overall quality of life. Canadians enjoy a comfortable standard of living, good health care, social security, a high level of education, and a relatively safe and clean environment. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms entrenched in the Canadian constitution guarantees such fundamental rights as equality, mobility and legal rights, as well as freedom of speech, assembly and association. A 1997 survey of people in 20 countries found that the majority placed Canada in the top ten list of countries where they would like to live.

It contains 38 national parks, more than 1000 provincial parks, and nearly 50 territorial parks. Based on the 1996 census data:
