Replete with friendly locals, beautiful landscapes, and diverse ecosystems, embarking to adventure travel in Canada is the chance to escape from routine and chase some adrenaline in the vast northern wilderness.

A Guide to Adventure Travel in Canada

Locations

Bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the United States to the south, Canada encompasses a mammoth territory of nearly 4 million square miles, making it officially the world’s second largest country after Russia. Canada is further home to eight distinct forest ecosystems, several imposing mountain ranges including the Canadian Rockies, and over 2 million lakes, more than any other in the world.

The vast majority of Canada’s population lives in the southernmost region of the country, where the weather is warmest year-round. During your adventure travel program in Canada it is likely that you will visit cities such as Toronto, the country’s largest city and man center of global activity, Montreal, the largest French-speaking city in Canada and a close eastern neighbor of Toronto, and Vancouver, which is the country’s major western outpost and considered one of the most livable cities in the world.

When you are not visiting the major cities while you adventure travel in Canada, you will be off exploring the tremendous diversity of wilderness in Canada’s backyard. The further north you travel, the less habitable becomes the land, so expect to spend most of your trip adventuring about the country’s southern regions.

Ashley From Interexchange

April 06, 2024by: Averi Chandler - United StatesProgram: Work and Travel Canada

It is rare that you have a customer service experience that feels so special it makes you want to go out of your way to get other people to experience it. It is even harder to make a customer experience feel special when there no face to face interaction, but Ashley from interexchange seemed to have no problem at all. From the jump she was responsive, helpful, and kind. Whenever I had a question or concern about the process she either answered it thoroughly, or pointed me in the direction of someone who could. Deadlines are super important when it comes to visas as well as attention to detail and these guys know their craft! Not only were the application instructions clear and thorough, but the staff followed up when there were changes or questions asked to make sure that everything was done correctly and I had all of the information that I needed. Someone give Ashley a raise!
