Canada is known for cold weather, pristine nature, maple syrup and of course the Canadian goose. It is also known for its wilderness, beautiful scenery, great lakes and friendly people.

Requirements include at least six month of study/training or one year of compatible employment within the past three years, though exceptions and additional stipulations do apply.
