Atlandi rannikul on tähtsaimad Newfoundlandi, Cape Bretoni, Prints Edwardi ning Anticosti saar ja Nova Scotia poolsaar. Vaikse ookeani ranniku lähedal asuvad Vancouveri saar ja Kuninganna Charlotte'i saarestik. Arktikas asub õige mitu peaaegu asustamata hiigelsaart (Baffini saar, Victoria, Ellesmere jt). 1.4 Veekogud Jõed Eriti tähtis on Suurt järvistut Atlandi ookeaniga ühendav Saint Lawrence'i jõgi oma laia viljaka oru ning arvukate lisajõgedega. Neist Ottawa, Saguenay ja St John suubuvad Atlandi ookeani, Saskatchewan voolab Winnipegi järve; Nelson ühendab Winnipegi Hudsoni lahega. Kanada suurim jõgi on siiski Mackenzie, mis koos lisajõgedega seob enamikku Kanada kilbil asuvaid järvi ja viib oma vee jäämerre. Riigi arvututest jõgedest ja jõekestest tuleb veel nimetada Yukoni ja Columbiat, mis jõuavad mereni juba USA rannikul. Erie järvest Ontario järve voolaval Niagara jõel asub Niagara juga. Järved
doubt that the word is Indian in origin.

Saint Lawrence River forms a boundary between Québec and Ontario and part of the international boundary between Canada and the U.S. state of New York. Lake Champlain and the Ottawa, Richelieu and Saguenay rivers drain into the St. Lawrence. 5. Climate Northern Canadian vegetation tapers from coniferous forests to tundra and finally to Arctic barrens in the far north. The northern Canadian mainland is ringed with a vast archipelago containing some of the world's largest islands.
