you can use Google earth's google sky feature. Use google earth software to go to your current location. Next switch to google sky mode and you will see the night sky. the only downside is it doesn't compensate for time of year.
Cassiopeia, Ursa Minor (contains little dipper), and Ursa Major (contains the big dipper), Camelopardalis, Cepheus, Draco.
There are more if you include just parts of constellations.
Bear in mind Canada is a big country and constellations vary in size.
The answer will vary depending on your latitude.
If you stand at the north or south pole, you see ALL of the constellations in either the north or the south
1/2 of the sky whenever your sky is dark and clear.
If you stand on the equator, then you see ALL of the visible stars and constellations in the entire sky during
a clear 12-hour period of darkness.
Anywhere between the equator and the pole, the total amount of the sky that you can EVER see, as well as
the amount of the sky that NEVER sets below your horizon, both depend on your latitude.
From the continental US, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Casseopeia, and Draco never set, whereas Orion,
Canis Major, Canis Minor, and Taurus are visible for about 9 months of the year centered on Winter.
There are a number of constellations that are visible year around, depending on your location. In the northern hemisphere (above about 30 degrees north) the constellations of Ursa Major Draco and Cassiopeia (to name only three) are always visible.
That depends where you live - specifically, the latitude. For example, if you live at the equator, no stars will be circumpolar (visible all the time). If you you live 50 degrees north of the equator, any star up to 50 degrees from the celestial north pole will never go below the horizon. Etc.
All of them - just about. Too many to name.
My favourite winter constellation (in the north) is Orion. I don't feel winter has started until I see it.
because the earth orbits the sun, we are rotating and see different parts of the night sky each night.
Cassiopeia, Draco, Ursa Minor, Vulpecula, Lyra, Camelopardus, Cepheus, Perseus plus probably some more. In northern Canada you can add Auriga, Gemini.
All stars within (your latitude) of the celestial pole are above your horizon all the time,
and are visible to you whenever it's dark enough.
Orion, of course. But mostly his belt, Orion's belt.
The constellations near the plane of the ecliptic (the zodiacal constellations) are only visible at certain times of the year. The constellations towards the poles (N and S) are visible at all times of the year from their respective hemispheres. In the South, the Southern Cross would be one example and in the North the Great Bear (or plough) would be another.
What constellations are circumpolar (visible all year, at any time of the night) depends on your latitude. If you are (for example) at a latitude of 50° north, then any start that is 50° or less from the sky's north pole will never go below the horizon. For a more detailed explanation, read the Wikipedia article on "Circumpolar star".
All the constellations were fixed to a crystal sphere that rotates at a slightly different rate from the Sun's rotation rate. So while the Sun goes round 365 times in a year, the sphere of the constellations go round 366 times.
The question is essentially meaningless. Some constellations are composed of only faint stars and are therefore hard to see; some are around the South Pole and not visible from Florida at all, but there really is no such thing as the "most visible" constellation. To the extent the question makes any sense, one might answer Canis Majoris, which contains the brightest star in the night sky and is visible for about half of the year from Florida. Another good answer might be Ursa Major, which has several fairly bright stars and is visible year-round.
Depends where you live.
Circumpolar constellations are visible all year long, depending on where you are viewing them from. At the north pole, or the south pole, some constellations are visible year-round, these are the circumpolar constellations. On the equator, there are no circumpolar constellations because of the earths rotation, that is why circumpolar constellations are at the "poles". Some of the circumpolar constellations can also be viewed from other parts of the same hemisphere, such as the big dipper and the little dipper, although they are circumpolar, they are also seen in other parts of the northern hemisphere. Circumpolar constellations in the northern hemisphere, will never be seen at the south pole, and vice versa. I hope this helped.

Depends where you live....
The region of the sky visible all year round is called "circumpolar". What stars and constellations are included there depends on your geographical location. For example, for somebody living 30 degrees south of the equator, a region around the south pole of the sky, with a radius of 30 degrees, would be circumpolar.
The same constellations are visible every year. There is not a year associated with a particular constellation.
The Big Dipper and the Ursa Major are the most visible constellations from NJ. The May constellations that contains over 200 galaxies is also one of the most visible constellations from NJ.
No. As we orbit the Sun different constellations become visible, but we can only see them when it is dark. Constellations are in the sky during daylight, but the Sun is so bright, we cannot see them. A few months after that, they start to be visible in the evenings and soon at night, by which time other constellations are in daylight and cannot be seen. You will see any constellation at the same time of year, every year. So the constellations you see in the night sky tonight are the same as the ones you will see on this date in any other year. The only thing that will differ is where the Moon and planets are.
What constellations are circumpolar (visible all year, at any time of the night) depends on your latitude.

because the circumpolar constellations are visible all year long and the others are not.
