LAND, AIR, AND SEA TRANSPORTS TO CANADA

Transport in Canada primarily takes place by road. Trucks are favored for freight traffic. In the central Canadian provinces, approximately 55 percent of the value of exported goods is transported via the road network, which totals about 1.1 million kilometers. The road network is particularly dense in the south, while air transport plays a more important role in the north. For long distances, the Canadian rail network, which totals about 42,000 kilometers of track, is also a good choice. Transport is mainly carried out via two freight lines maintained by the two national railway companies, Canadian National Railway Co. and Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. They transport bulk goods and cargo from Canada’s port cities across the country. Rail transports to the USA are also conducted. For imported goods from Asia and Europe, Canadian ports serve as the main entry points to the country. Undoubtedly, the busiest and most important port city in Canada in terms of trade volume is Vancouver, where the majority of Canada’s Pacific trade is handled. In addition, Canada has several large cargo airports that distribute goods nationally and internationally. The terminals in Toronto, Hamilton, and Vancouver handle the largest freight volume.
