It is well-known that Canada is the centre of two cultures -- English and French. They peacefully coexist in the country and build a particular style of Canada's life.

Canada does its utmost to develop relations with other states. For example, the Canadian and US governments share a variety of close working partnerships in trade, economic, legal, security, and military matters. Originally a union of former French and British colonies and entitled a 'dominion', Canada is a founding member of the United Nations and the Commonwealth of Nations.

Almost every country in the world has Canadian consulate on its territory authorized with certain functions. Alongside, there is one more institution to refer to -- Canadian high commission which is to acquaint people with Canada culture and lifestyle. Canadian consulate or high commission is empowered to arrange concerts of Canadian singers and exhibitions of Canadian artists at their locations. One more function pertaining to Canadian consulate is to help the citizens of Canada living abroad. It can also assist you in finding your friends or relatives in Canada.

Visa delivery is also provided by Canadian consulate and embassy`s terms of reference. To go to Canada you should get a visa in the embassy or consulate in your country. The following documents should be submitted: a valid passport, a letter of invitation (if somebody invites you to Canada), a tourist invitation (if you go to the country at your own wish), 2 application forms, 2 passport photos (made no earlier than 6 months before the trip), medical insurance (Canada does not pay for hospital and medical service for visitors), trip layout, evidence of a hotel room reservation and tickets order, a salary certificate defining your job position.
