That is to say, it has a relatively complete social welfare system. The Canadian national welfare system is a multi-level and complex system, both public and private planning. It covers a wide range of people, both for the whole people and for different groups. Canada has the world's best social welfare system, all children enjoy 13 years free compulsory education, the public medical system, family aid, retirement pension, unemployment allowance, injury, social benefits are the best social welfare system, citizens and permanent residents can be said to be old, sickness. Most of Canada are for people with special needs that you must meet. Some individuals and families may be eligible for several benefit programs, but separately.
