Borders of Canada

The borders of Canada include:

To the south and west: An international boundary with the United States, forming the longest shared border in the world, ; (Informally referred as the 49th parallel north which makes up the boundary at parts.) To the east: A maritime boundary with the Kingdom of Denmark, at the self-autonomous territory of Greenland; and a smaller land-based border on divided Hans Island. To the southeast: A short maritime border with France, at the overseas islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. To the north: The far northern situated areas of the Queen Elizabeth Islands extend well into the Arctic and form portions of the basis of historical Canadian sovereignty claims into the Arctic region. More recent Canadian claims (as of 2022) reportedly extend to a portion of the Russian Federation.
