British Columbia: high mountains (many with glaciers), rainy ocean coast with many water inlets and islands. temperate rainforest in the southwest. small valley plains in between mountain ranges. flatter in the far northeat.

Alberta: Rocky mountains along the west/southwest (including glaciers), relatively flat elsewhere - prairie in the south, forest taiga north.

Saskatchewan: ditto, except for the mountains.

Manitoba: prairoe south, woodlands with many lakes (including to very large ones) in the middle, tiaga and tundra to the north, and a stretch of coast in the far northeast.

Ontario: flat lowland plains sdominate the south and stretch up toward Quebec, interrupted by a Niagara escarpment and the Great Lake shores. The rocky Laurentian Shield to the north includes taiga forests and lakes up to the northern bay coasts.

Quebec: the Appalachian mountains run along the southeast, almost parallel to the flat St' Lawrence River plains, which are interupted by the occasional solitary ancient volcanic mountain in the south, and an upland to the east as the Appaliachians approach the sea. The Laurentian Sheild covers much of the north, with lakes and taiga forest, and tundra in the far north. Quebec has long streches of coastline as well, perhaps more than nay other privince.

New Brunswick: Appalachian mountains to the north/northwest, forested interior, hilly south with some areas of coastal plain.

Prince Edward Island: relatively flat, with slight hills.

Nova Scotia: small mountain ranges throughout, hreavily forested.

Newfoundland: Small but more pronounced mountainsm generally running in southwest-to-northeast ranges throughout the west and central regions. predominantly sub-taiga forests.

How can you love a place that you have never been to yet? It's like seeing previews of a movie and you get so excited and love it, then you get there and it's a major disappointment because it was not as great as you expected it to be. I'm not saying Canada is a bad place. In fact, I live her and I love the natural beauty, the friendly people, and our culture has such a great sense of humour in general. But I think that someone should visit parts of Canada first and see what areas they like. Big difference when you are living in Vancouver vs. Winnipeg, especially when January rolls around! Likewise, big cultural differences living in Calgary vs Montreal. It's like putting someone from New York City into the middle of Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin...there will be a slight culture shock.

Do you have access to an atlas? That will show it to you clearly and succinctly. Canadian provinces are HUGE and each has many different topographical features. BC, for example, has lots of mountains, but also has desert areas and open plains.
