Okay just stop right there. You're planning to "move" to Canada in a couple of weeks and you haven't even started the process of applying for immigration through Immigration Canada? Oh yikes are you ever naive about Canadian bureaucracy. You can't just move here, first you need a sponsor, as in an employer who needs your skills, and then you have to go through a lengthy process that must be started from outside Canada.
Most of your questions can be answered by Wikipedia, but of course it depends exactly where in Canada you are moving to. Yes, there is racism in Canada. Most Canadians are reasonable and open minded people, but we too have some ignoramuses among us. It is generally not as bad as in the U.S.

Here is Immigration Canada's website. Good luck.

Canada is actually not that bad of a place to live. It also depends on what part of Canada you are wanting to move to. I'm in Saskatchewan and the winter's can be quite horrible at times, but I'm used to it. The summer's here can sometimes get a little too hot, but it's nothing anyone can't handle. The weather is sometimes like a roller coaster.
As for race, again, it depends on which city you're in. Bigger cities like Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, etc. have large numbers of Asians. Of course, there are a lot of Caucasians since they're the majority of this country.
I'm not really sure about the 3rd question because I, myself, am wanting to move to the States (California) someday and have no idea what I need to move there.
No matter where you go, there will be racism, but I don't 'think' it is as bad as the US. I've never really run into racist people here. Us Canadians are friendly and enjoy the diversity :)

lol you must apply and qualify to immigrate to canada and this process could take months even a year,being a US citizen makes no difference

canada is the second largest country in the world so the weather will vary depending where your going

You need to talk to an immigration lawyer first.
Don't just try to move here.

This is a process that will take some time. I think that trying to move here in 2 weeks would be a bit presumptious. It will probably take closer to months or even a year. It depends on whether you have the paperwork in process, and at what stage that is in the gears.

This is a site that I came across that might be able to help you with the transitional work, but there is no gaurantees that will work very fast.

1) It depends on where you live in Canada as to what weather you will experience. Usually Central Canada and the prairies and extreme northern parts of BC and the maritimes have extreme weather conditions where as the southern parts don't have as bad of weather conditions. Your best bet would be to look at http://www.ec.gc.ca and that would be able to tell you some of the weather to expect.

2) It is a huge mixture of different groups of cultures, especially in the Metro Vancouver area within British Columbia. There would also be a wide cultural groups in many of the major different metropolitan cities among Canada.

3) Look at the website that I have provided, and that should be able to provide some of the information that it might be helpful for you to look at.

4) It is hard to say, it depends on where you live.

1) The weather is temperate. The winters are cold, summers are hot, springs are mild and the fall`s are brisk

2) European 66% (English, French, Scottish, Irish, German, others), 2% Aboriginal, 6% Others (mostly Asian, African, Arab), 26% mixed.

3) Visa...and a passport

4) Theres racism everywhere but because we are multicultural...its not the same kind of racism. Its not like I HATE WHITE PEOPLE...but more or less we all have things about us ethnicly that are brought up sometimes
