The existence of these two official languages dates back to the 15th century, when both British and French expeditions explored this land and settled along the Atlantic coast. Today it is officially a bilingual country, which means both languages have equal status in government and administration. For example, all laws must be enacted in English and French. However, this does not mean people in the country can speak both languages. In fact, 67.5% of the population speak only English and 13.3% speak only French. And Quebec is the only province where the official language is only French.

The most populated areas of Canada are in the south, where Paco is going to stay at the beginning. Then he might go up to the north and visit the province of Nunavut, towards the Arctic, an area of beautiful landscapes and amazing wildlife, with a very small population, mostly Inuit. Paco could meet some Inuit people there. He's curious about them! He never thought of seeing these people in real life. He has seen them many times in films... This makes him think he should buy some warmer clothes. It must be freezing in the Arctic!

Why is Canada a bilingual country?
