See attractions, get attracted: This is one way Canada is trying to help new immigrants decide to stay
The Canoo app gives newcomers and new citizens free access to more than 1,400 cultural attractions and national parks to make exploring easier.
On a week-long road trip to Canada’s East Coast, newcomer Eduardo Santana didn’t expect a potato museum to become one of his favourite discoveries.
In Prince Edward Island, the 41-year-old software engineer from the Dominican Republic — who says with a laugh that he “really loves potatoes” — found himself wandering through antique and modern potato cultivation machines and many varieties of spuds he never knew existed, grown in the province’s iconic iron-rich red soil.
Santana said he learned about a surprisingly “rich history of potatoes,” and it helped him feel a little closer to a country he was still getting to know and now calls home.
The Institute for Canadian Citizenship, yet another government grift.
