Life in Canada is about the same as life in the States. I am from Nova Scotia ,but have lived in South Florida for 2 years. The climate can be harsh (cold) in Northern Canada,but the closer you get to the US border the warmer it is. Eastern Canada has been compared to Scotland with rolling green hills and wide open spaces. The scenery is gorgeous all across the country. I noticed a few answers with temperatures in Celsius (Canadian temps) To convert what they said: The winters are generally between 25 F-50 F. In the summer it hovers around 75-85F but usually cools down in the evening.
The big difference in our countries is the medical system. It's very expensive to be sick down here. In Canada it is a federal funded program which generally means free. Higher taxes because of it.
Iceland is not that close to us. It's like saying is there anyone New York living in Utah. Since Iceland is further North they have shorter summers and longer winters and temps don't get boiling hot.

A lot of movies and tv shows are taped in Canada- mostly in BC or Alberta. The American actors must like our beer! Ha ha. To learn more about life in Canada you should watch The Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew

It depends where you go in Canada. The territories are obviously very cold. British columbia has really nice weather, with light winters and warm but not too hot summers. It does rain alot there. Ontario has really cold winters and really hot summers. I'm not sure about Nova Scotia and the rest of Canada, but those are the three main sorts of climate you'll find throughout Canada.

I lived in Canada almost all my life and never met anyone from Iceland. I don't know what the weather's like in Iceland, but in Calgary, it goes down to -35 most winters and up to 30 in the summer. Then they have chinooks which can make for sudden hot spells in the winter (+10). It doesn't snow as much as most places in Canada. Yes it is beautiful.

The line in Calgary is "If you don't like the weather here, wait ten minutes."

Here is another example of an American that didn't learn anything about Canada in school. Canada is such a wide vast country, there are no two provinces alike. Weather in Vancouver, British Columbia in February will be totally different than in Gander, Newfoundland. And no there are not people from Iceland. You need to read some books on Canada!!

Life in Canada is wonderful. Are there many people there from Iceland? I can't give you exact numbers, but yes, there are areas where Icelanders congregate. One of the most notable is just outside Winnipeg, in Manitoba.
Canadians are big on outdoor sport -- fishing, hunting, skiing, hockey, running, swimming, paddling canoes, rowing, beach volleyball, well, you name it, and it's going on in Canada.
Why not come up and see for yourself?
