About This Quiz

Canada has a long, rolling and sometimes confusing history. You can read about the founding of New France way back in 1534 and then the formation of Upper and Lower Canada in 1791, then the creation of Canada itself in 1867 when Newfoundland and Nova Scotia joined Upper and Lower.

As time passed, Canada expanded all the way to the West, and it was still changing as late as 1999 when Nunavut finally became an officially recognized territory, expanding the country to 10 provinces and three territories with a total population that's still only about one 10th of that of the United States'.

Canada has all kinds of space and all kinds of wildlife and lush, natural beauty. Mountains, plains, forests, lakes and cities exist from coast to coast offering as much variety as anyone could ever dream of. It's not hard to see how, on some level, it's overwhelming to decide where you might fit in around Canada. We're talking nearly 4 million square miles of space. But if you tell us a bit about yourself and what you like, we're pretty sure we can piece together exactly what part of Canada fits you best. Take the quiz and see!
