I write about Canada that I haven't been to.
Canada is High latitude all of the country and the most longest country
for north to south in the world as the distance that is from the south end to
northernmost north is about 4634Km.
the distance that is from the east end to west north is about 5514Km.
There are 6 time zones. It is an consisting of 10 provinces and 3 territories.
The Population is about 34 million people.
Country size is 30 times for Japanese one. But the Population is 1/3.
It has a lot of the oil deposits, the mineral deposits
and uranium producing is top of the world.
In addition, rate of food self-sufficiency is over the 150%.
It is strong on industry of information technology
and Canada has RIM Company
that produces an BlackBerry.
An official language is English and French.
Popular sports is ice hockey, canadian football and baseball.
At MLB, Joseph Votto who is the player of Cincinnati Reds was selected MVP
of the National League. It is the 3th person in history in Canadian.
The immigration policy
In the rare case at the world, The gorvernment adopts
the immigration policy positively. The culture is various culture and race.
It receives immigrants into this country is set at 200,000-250,000 per year.
It is an objective that is a declining number of children measures
and securing skilled workers.
As permitted the application of immigration,
You got a permanent residency
and got a medical insurance system of the country.
In the Canada, The medical free is realized
and the country pays the medical cost
except medicines and dentists.
The application of immigration is a pont system.
It is possible for having more 67 points.
The points is calculated by Education, Proficiency in English and/or French,
Experience, Age, Arranged employment in Canada, Adaptability.
The Experience is intended for including Experience List.
At 2010.6, modified the application of immigration,
The Experience List was modified.
IT engineer is excluded for it.
As I come from the country of "SUPER MARIO",
Will not permit me for "PlumbersPlumbers"...
In the my case, The point is 70 points now if I was "Plumbers" and got a job.

The education
According to International Student Assessment,
Canada has the scholastic ability is more higher than Japan.
In addition, as the education is carried out every provinces,
Educational system is difference too.
The education is also variety.
So, It is interesting at "The education for Media Literacy".
"The education for Media Literacy" is...
-Understand work, feature, role by media for society.
-Analysis and Criticism to message of media
-Making the media(try to organize or radio using several media)
the learning is the education for Media Literacy.
It is a required subject for elementary school to high school.
The education for Media Literacy is said that the lesson
using PC, Audio, Video in Japan. But it is thing that learning about "Media",
included the mass media, is TV and Radio, Movie, Music and Internet.
For Example, Analysis how is a bad influence for children
by scene of violence at media drawing.
I'm amazed at having started the lesson since 1987.
I became thinking each news by myself, not believe in straightly.
Because I have be worker now. But Making media is to be conscious field,
as there are SNS service, is Twitter etc.
I would like to experience to learn about it by going there actually.
Hearing from Canadian
Nowadays, Fortunately, I got to know Canadian
and I could hear fresh Canada's information.
The difference of my impression is thing that
there isn't a lot of skiing ground at east.
It is unexpected as I think we can skiing and snowboarding somewhere.
"Banff" is recommended for ski.
There is only Mountain when I see there at Google Map.
The skiing ground of Canada isn't a course likely Japan and
generally, we ski in trees with compressing snow.
Certainly, Hokkaido one's is likely it perhaps.

I was recommended Montreal for learning English.
Because Immigration city, likely Toronto, doesn't fit for learning English
as there are variety country people
and there are variety languages besides English.
The part of that things, We can learn English concentrated
as there aren't a lot of immigration people
and using often English or sometime French.
About the country character, West Canada has a lot of nature
and human character isn't kind so much.
But East Canada is city and it is kind. It is contrary to my expectations.
I'm wondering that It is truth although he say to come from West Canada.
He was kind so much...
And so, He taught ice hockey is say "Hockey" to me.
In wrote them, there are some culture shocks in the researching a little.
There are a lot of culture shocks when I go to there actually and live in.
Seeing is believing.
It make me to give to want to go the place and do thing more.
I want to go early!
And I referenced the following book
Talk to you soon!
