i-to-i TEFL 
Country Guides: Canada
From fairytale landscapes to cosmopolitan cities, there’s much more to Canada than maple leafs and Mounties. It’s long been overshadowed by its North American neighbour but it stands proud as a diverse country that’s packed full of experiences that you can tell your grandchildren about, whether it be getting drenched at Niagara Falls or spotting black bears in the Rockies. The clinch is that there’s also a lot of leg room. It’s the world’s second largest country, but with a fraction of the population at around half that of the United Kingdom. It even has national parks bigger than some European countries.
