Canada has a land area of 9.97 million square kilometers and a population of 37 million, with a population density of less than 4 people per square kilometer. This is a country with a vast territory and a sparse population. So, why is the population density in Canada so low? First, most of Canada's territory is located in the cold zone, and the climate is cold, which is not suitable for human habitation; Second, the history of Canada is not long. The natives are Indians and Inuit. After being colonized by Britain, aborigines were killed in large numbers, and the survival history of whites was not long. Third, Canada's neighbor is the United States, which is not as attractive to talents as the United States.

First, although Canada has a vast territory, most areas have a cold climate and are not suitable for human habitation. Canada ranks second in the world, second only to Russia. However, although Canada has a vast territory, most of it is located in the northern frigid zone and the northern temperate zone, belonging to the frigid tundra climate and continental coniferous forest climate. Even the lowest temperature in the northern region is below MINUS 40 degrees. Therefore, the population of Canada is mainly concentrated in the Great Lakes in the south, facing the United States across the lake. In the vast central and northern regions, not many people live. To sum up, although Canada has a vast territory, the land area suitable for human habitation is not large. Similar to Canada, Australia has a desert and arid climate, and few people live in vast inland areas, resulting in low population density.

Second, Canada has a short history and a large number of aborigines have been killed. From16th century, Britain and France gradually began to colonize Canada. Today, Canada is still a bilingual country, Quebec mainly speaks French, and other regions mainly speak English. In the process of British and French colonization of Canada, indigenous Indians and Inuit were killed in large numbers, and the population dropped sharply, and now it is less than 2% of the total population of Canada. After more than 300 years of colonization, Britain and France did not immigrate too many people to Canada. The aborigines were killed in large numbers, resulting in the total population of Canada never coming up. Canada's per capita GDP has exceeded $46,000. It is an economically developed country with low birth rate and slow natural growth.

Third, Canada's population depends on immigrants, but it is not as attractive as the United States. Canada's natural population growth rate is low, and it mainly relies on attracting immigrants from all over the world to increase its population. But Canada does not have the advantage of Australia, and it is next to the United States. For talents all over the world, America is obviously more attractive. Canada is more attractive to people who want to enjoy life, but these are obviously not the best immigrants. Therefore, Canada's immigration policy is very open, but it attracts a small number of immigrants every year. More people choose to go to America with warmer climate and more developed economy. Therefore, the population of Canada is also growing slowly, but the growth rate is far less than that of the southern United States.

Canada is called? Maple Leaf Country? Maple leaf is the symbol of Canada. It can also be seen that Canada is actually a cold country!
