Canada, or the Great White North, is a country in the Northern part of America. It is the second-largest country in the world. Ottawa is the capital state of Canada, while Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver are the largest metropolitan cities in Canada.
Many things make Canada a precious gem; from its beautiful scenery to the largest producer of maple syrup that is heavily produced in Quebec.
Their maple syrup is as popular as their next-level politeness. They could easily be the most polite country out there, which makes it a great opportunity to experience their hospitality on your next trip to Canada from Manila!
Below are some of the travel requirements to Canada for eligible travelers including permanent residents and those allowed for discretionary travels. You can get further information from Traveloka COVID-19 Requirements and Information:
It will take about 15 hours for a direct flight from Manila to Canada - specifically to Toronto via Philippine Airlines. However, the current flights available include one or two layovers, regardless of where you are going in Canada.
There are other airlines that provide transit flights as well. Some of them are Asiana Airlines, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, KLM, Malaysia Airlines, and Korean Air. Airfare would depend on the cabin class, the extra baggage you’re getting, and other add-ons.
Niagara Falls was formed back in the last ice age when the glaciers receded at the end of Wisconsin glaciation. That has caused the water from the Great Lakes to carve a path through the Niagara Escarpment and head towards the Atlantic Ocean.
It is made up of three waterfalls:
The Horseshoe Falls is the largest of the three. It is around 57 meters high and 790 meters wide. It is located on the border of two countries: Canada and the United States of America. The other two falls, which are smaller, are located in the United States in the state of New York.
Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall, too. This has been proven from its flow rate.
It is also a valuable source of hydroelectric power. Niagara Falls was a source of power even from back in 1750 due to its powerful flow rate. Throughout the years, the hydropower plant has been evolved to ensure the conservation of the falls too.
Things to know:
The oldest national park in Canada is the Banff National Park which is located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta.
The park is 6,641 square kilometers of land, consisting of mountain terrains, glaciers, ice fields, a wide range of forests, and alpine landscapes.
This park has been categorized to have a subarctic climate where it is cold and snowy in winters and is mild during summers.
Due to the location of the park at a higher altitude, it influences the climate and causes a lower temperature. It also causes the park to have greater snowfalls.
Note about its weather:
Due to the vast area of this park, the ecosystem remains intact where animals such as the grizzly bear, cougar, wolverine, elk, bighorn sheep, and moose can still be found there.
Other than that, there is a large variety of bird species that live in the forest here. There is also a minority number of reptiles and amphibians that can be found too.
Ottawa is the capital city of Canada. The city got its name from an Algonquin indigenous group that has the meaning 'to trade'.
The city is mostly known as a political center of Canada due to the parliament being situated here, Parliament Hill.
It is also a tourist attraction as it is located on a hill that gives a good view of the city. There is also a fountain in there that never freezes, even during winter.
Fun fact: There is a Centennial Flame, which is lit by natural gas up until today. Many considered it as a wish fountain for visitors.
