Canada is a very large country. It is the second largest country in the world. By contrast it has a very small population. There are only about 29 million people there. Most Canadians are of British or French origin(后裔), and French is an official language of Canada as well as English. About 45% of the people are of British origin, that is, they or their parents or grandparents, etc, come from Britain. Nearly 30% are of French origin. Most of the French?Canadians live in the province of Quebec.

Over the years, people have come to live in Canada from many countries in the world. They are from Europe and also from China, besides other Asian countries.

However, Canada was not an empty country before the Europeans began to arrive. Canadian Indians lived along the coast, by the rivers and lakes and in forests. Today, there are only about 350,000 Indians in the whole country, with their own languages. In the far north live the Inuit. There are only 27,000 Canadian?Inuit. Their life is hard in such a difficult climate.
