Multiculturalism is part of Canada’s identity, which is ideal for a newcomer. If you’re from a different country and culture, you will see people who look like you, speak your language, and share your traditions. One of the best parts of multiculturalism is the food! If you’re adventurous, Canadian cities offer a variety of global cuisine, and if you’re craving some home cooking, you will most likely find something to satisfy you!

If you come to Carleton, Ottawa is close to Algonquin Park and Gatineau Park.
