Canada is located in the northern section of North America. The country consists of 10 provinces and three territories.

It is one of the world’s largest countries by both total area and land area. As a whole, Canada is sparsely populated, with much of its land featuring forest, tundra and mountains. Canada has a population of approximately 35 million, and most of its inhabitants live in medium to large cities. The capital of Canada is the city of Ottawa, located in the province of Ontario.

The official currency of Canada is the Canadian Dollar. The Canadian Dollar can be subdivided into 100 cents, and the currency is often referred to as the Loonie. The nickname is derived from the image of a loon on the one dollar coin. Canada’s dollar is one of the most widely used reserve currencies in the world, behind the U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen, Great British Pound and euro. The Canadian currency is very popular as a reserve currency due to the country’s financial and political stability.
The Canadian Dollar is issued and controlled by the country’s central bank, the Bank of Canada. The central bank was established under the 1934 Bank of Canada Act initially as a private corporation. About four years later, in 1938, the central bank became a crown corporation. The Bank of Canada is headquartered in the Canadian capital city of Ottawa.
