Canada is not even a nation. In geography, a state is considered a political entity (Canada) and a nation is considered an ethnical entity (Egyptians). Canada is actually a multinational state, not a multi-state nation. This is because Canada consists of multiple ethnic groups. A multi-state nation is an ethnic identity that is spread all over the world.
