Detailed Country Guide
Overview and identity
Canada, officially listed here as Canada, is structured as a practical country reference guide for users searching country facts, maps, flags, codes, and daily-use data. The page should make Canada, CA, CAN, the flag, the official name, and the country slug easy to confirm because users often land on country pages while checking identifiers for forms, travel, education, or data products. Canada is grouped under Americas, more specifically North America, with North America shown as the continent context.
Geography and population scale
The country dataset records a population of 41,575,585 people and a land area of 9,984,670 square kilometers, which gives an approximate density of 4 people per square kilometer. The main coordinate reference is 60, -95, while the capital coordinate reference is 45.42, -75.7. Canada shares listed land borders with USA, and the landlocked value is recorded as no. These details help the page answer common searches around location, area, borders, map position, and population comparison.
Capital and urban network
The capital information is recorded as Ottawa (primary). The largest city entries shown for this country are Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. Including cities alongside country-level facts helps the guide answer searches such as largest cities in Canada, capital of Canada, and major urban areas in Canada. This is useful because many users compare the official capital with the largest business, transport, or population centers.
Government, classification, and memberships
The government type is listed as Federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy. The classification fields mark sovereignty as yes, United Nations membership as yes, observer status as no, and disputed status as no. International memberships shown for this page include Commonwealth, G20, G7, NATO, OECD and United Nations. These fields support search intent around political status, country classification, and international organization membership.
Administrative formats and daily-use data
Canada uses calling code +1, postal format @#@ #@#, and time zone data listed as UTC-08:00, UTC-07:00, UTC-06:00, UTC-05:00, UTC-04:00 and UTC-03:30. The number format uses , as the thousands separator and . as the decimal separator. The week starts on sunday; the academic year starts around Sep 1; the government fiscal year starts around Apr 1; and the personal fiscal year starts around Jan 1.
Currency, language, transport, and references
Currency data lists CAD - Canadian dollar ($), while language records include English and French. Vehicle data records the driving side as right and vehicle sign codes as CDN. Reference links should keep official, Wikipedia, Google Maps, and OpenStreetMap sources together when available so users can move from the structured country guide to map or source pages quickly. The latest Gini entry in the dataset is 31.5 for 2022.
How to use this profile
This Canada profile is designed to be scanned in layers: first the name, official name, flag, capital, population, area, and density; then identity, geography, cities, governance, memberships, formats, connectivity, currency, languages, transport, and references. That structure supports both human readers and product workflows where users need to verify a phone code, compare cities, inspect fiscal dates, check postal formats, review memberships, or open a map reference without searching across multiple pages.
