Immigrate to Canada and enjoy life in Canada: Canada is undoubtedly the best destination for winter sports. Whether you are embarking on a thrilling ice and snow adventure outdoors or holding your lover's hand while rolling in the snow-covered wilderness far from the hustle and bustle, it is a magnificent winter journey.
Ice and Snow Season, A Player's Paradise
Quebecers are natural ice and snow players. An old tire or even a plastic basin can become a "sled." People use their creativity to have fun on snow-covered slopes, sometimes colliding and tumbling over, or rolling in the soft snow until they stand up looking like snowmen. Dog sledding, snowmobile trails, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing—ice climbing is already a thing of the past; there are countless fresh novelties in the ice and snow world of Quebec province.
On the St. Lawrence River, winter fishing has become a leisurely pastime. Warm fishing huts stand on the thick ice, fully equipped with tables, chairs, sofas, and stoves. People inside the huts drill holes in the ice to fish while enjoying homemade hot pot. Outside, everything is frozen, but inside, it is as warm as spring. Whether or not you return with a full catch is no longer important.
Arriving at the resort of Mont-Tremblant, you can get the chance to try ice climbing, and beginners will receive professional training. In the live-action field game area within the Mont-Tremblant resort, there are different game scenarios that make people feel as if they have returned to the era of virtual childhood battles. The most professional combat equipment is provided here, such as masks, uniforms, high-precision paintball guns, neck guards, gloves, ammo pouches, hats, etc. If that is not enough, take a helicopter ride. Staff will take you to overlook the breathtaking scenery from the sky along a carefully designed flight path, which is truly an extraordinary experience.
The Montreal Snow Festival, held every January, and the world's largest Quebec Snowboard Festival are definitely grand winter celebrations. The outdoor skateboard championships and aerial skiing competitions are a feast for the eyes, and the dual-ski competitions, slopestyle skiing, and fashion shows designed specifically for amateur contestants under 15 are also very exciting.
The Quebec Winter Carnival, with over 100 years of heritage, is like a fire in winter; it is said that more than 500,000 people visit it every year. During the 17-day festival, magnificent ice palaces and gorgeous ice and snow sculptures can be seen everywhere. People ride long sleds, rushing down from the snow-covered mountain peaks. If you are looking for adventure and excitement, you might as well put on a swimsuit and take a "snow bath" in the snow. You can also taste the unique maple taffy here, which is a natural delicacy made by pouring hot maple syrup into the snow. Be sure to give Bonhomme the snowman a warm hug. This snowman, with his big red hat and red, green, and white sash, is not only the star of the carnival but also the ruler of Quebec City; the Mayor of Quebec City will even hand over the key to the city, symbolizing power, to him. This ceremony perfectly embodies Quebec-style humor.
White Honeymoon Journey
Canada in winter is the best honeymoon destination. Have you ever stayed in a hotel that is below zero degrees? The Hôtel de Glace in Quebec City is a structure made of ice that only exists in winter and melts when the weather warms up. Whenever a new winter arrives, Quebec presents a newly designed and constructed ice hotel in the silver-white world. In the eight short winters since its opening, the Hôtel de Glace in Quebec City has attracted more than 500,000 visitors.
Thick snow walls keep the indoor temperature between -3°C and -5°C. People lie on crystal-clear ice beds. You don't have to be afraid of the cold because there are mattresses on the ice beds, and people only need to wear thermal underwear and sleep in warm Arctic sleeping bags.
The hotel is built entirely of pure ice and snow, from the 5-meter-high arches and walls about 1.2 meters thick to the crystal-clear ice sculptures standing quietly by the fireplace, as well as the halls, decorations, furniture, and even candlesticks—all carved from ice. It is said that the total amount of snow used for ice making exceeds 1,200 tons.
Saying "I do" to your other half in the dreamy and romantic ice chapel in Quebec is the dream of many newlyweds. The Hôtel de Glace offers a variety of themed wedding plans, and its crystal-clear ice chapel design is the perfect place for weddings and photography.
Lovers should definitely have a drink at the ice bar, where all drinks are served in special ice cups. Even if you have the courage to hold the ice cup directly without gloves, you won't be able to stand the cold after just two minutes. Of course, in such a special atmosphere, a 40-degree vodka-infused ice wine served in an ice cup is an unforgettable experience of ice and fire. After a hearty drink, you can take the ice cup home as a souvenir. However, once you leave the ice bar, this ice cup can only be kept for 3 to 4 days, while the beautiful memories of the Hôtel de Glace in Quebec City will remain in your heart forever.
The beauty of ice and snow has inspired the artistic talent, creative vitality, and romantic feelings of Quebecers. On the streets and alleys, many merchants and shops place ice sculptures of various shapes in front of their doors. Some restaurants even place their bars outdoors; such bars are made entirely from local materials, and the ice and snow found everywhere are carved into works of art by skillful hands, which can be described as ingenious.
Lovers can also choose to tie the knot in a castle in the Rocky Mountains. The majestic mountains and lakes are dotted with various styles of hot spring resorts. Looking up, you can see the magnificent scenery of the Rocky Mountains. People can enjoy spa treatments and gourmet food in scenery that could be listed as a "World Heritage Site," or they can ride a horse-drawn sleigh with their loved one, traveling through the white snow-capped mountains and lingering among the sentimental ancient castles, enjoying a fairytale world for two. Alternatively, in the snow-covered fairyland far from the crowds, enjoying a hot spring soak in the Whistler spa located in the dense forest, with a cold head and a warm body, is an absolutely perfect romantic experience.
News has come from a temporary meeting between the Quebec Immigration Bureau and fund companies: the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program will add 1,750 global quotas on January 19 this year. Ruoanhengxin Overseas reminds investors to be well-prepared and strive to seize the opportunity in the upcoming battle for Quebec investment immigration quotas.
