Canada is a country located in North America. It shares two land borders with the United States, via the contiguous United States to the south and the US state of Alaska to the north-west, and a separate border with Greenland (a part of Denmark) in the north via Hans Island.
Grand Theft Auto games are released in Canada on the same day as the United States.
Canada is currently home to one Rockstar studio, Rockstar Toronto, which developed the PC versions of Grand Theft Auto IV and Episodes from Liberty City. Another Rockstar studio was located in Vancouver until 2012, when production merged with the Toronto studio.
