Hi !! :-) I am Vanessa and I would love to visit Canada. I love parks, nature, art & art crafts, museums, restaurants, malls... I want to buy art supplies ( brushes, inks.. painting stuffs). I want to go sightseeing too. My parents went to Niagara Falls on their honeymoon, I would love to visit there too. I am also interested in taking a painting course or art craft course in the future. I am not a teenager so I cannot be an exchange student, but I 'd love to know where I can study for a couple of months or a little more. I am pos-graduated in Arts. I want to visit and if it is possible in the future to study a little.
Thank you for your help :-)
have a lovely day,
Vanny

You might consider Nova Scotia.
Halifax, the big city there is home to one of the most prestigous art schools on the continent - The Nova Scotia Collge of Art and Design (http://www.nscad.ns.ca/). The city itself it fairly small, quite pretty and one of the oldest in Canada, steeped in history.
The province of Nova Scotia itself is compact - a relatively small peninsula - there are lots of picuresque fishing villages dotted along its meandering coast (think America's New England) - as well as at its northern tip, the stunning rocky coastline of Cape Breton (think Scotland or Ireland). Nova Scotians are amazingly warm and hospitable - and will literaly go out of there way to help you.
NS is a perfect springboard to visit some of the other nearby Maritime Provinces like Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick or Newfoundland - or if you're feeling ambitious hop a passenger train to the bilingual metropolis of Montreal (a little less thatn a day's journey on the renowned and pictaresque VIA Rail "Ocean" line).
As Canada is such a vast nation - unlike say the West - visiting the (older and more compact) Atlantic Region as I've described will allow you to explore and experience more of our country with less travelling time.

I live in Niagara Falls, NY, other than the falls there is nothing nice here. The Canadian side is much better, it has alot of trees and nature stuff you would probably like. The best place in canada is Toronto, I went their once it was cool.

it seems that you are into art so i definitely recommend Montreal and Quebec City.They`re about one hour apart and they have the culture diversity,art, old world nostalgia....you`ll like it! N. Falls is nice but ......you are the type the would stay there 1 or 2 hours and that`s it!

hey, Canada is a Massive country, most of the country is beautiful just like that. i live here, and havent even seen 5% of the country. The Vancouver/whistler area is beautiful in both summer and winter, plus they have good schools.
