Cellular IoT Air Interface Training Course in Canada

Canada is a North American country. Known as the second-largest country of the world, Canada’s capital city is Ottawa. Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal are the biggest and most popular cities of this country. The 8,891-kilometer southern and western border between Canada and the United States is the world's longest intergovernmental land border. This country also has the longest coastline in the world.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy. The country was originally a British Empire colony and is now a part of the British Commonwealth. Both French and English are Canada’s official languages. Canada’s national animal is a beaver and the its flag design is a vertical triband of red and white with a red maple leaf charged in the centre. Some of the top-rated tourist attractions in Canada are Niagara Falls, Banff National Park and Rocky Mountains, CN Tower in Toronto City, Bay of Fundy, Old Quebec (Vieux-Quebec in French), the ski resort of Whistler, Ottawa's Parliament Hill and Vancouver Island.
